Thanks.
I will definitely read into this.

Hi strawberry,

Thank you for your input. When I said, I am not really good with javascript or programming, I meant my knowledge is down to zero.

To run a childprocess in node_helper I found this blog,

Does this goes in the right direction?

Hey there,

I am using mpd mpc player with my Mirror and I am looking for a way to display the current titel within the mirror.
Any ideas how I could manage that?

Right now I am using a playlist and 3 buttons prev, next and play/stop with a python script. The title would be stdout on the terminal. Somehow I have to redirect it to the mirror/website.

I am not really good with javascript or programming in general, just a bit basics that’s it. If you need mor info let me know.

How can I set the topic to solved?

Hi Phate,

perhpas this could help you for your calendar file.
https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/467/calendar-ics-file-from-local-path/7

Thank you shockwave.

This works like a charm.

Well, I can access them with firefox and it shows me to open or download them.
But it won’t work with mm2.

How should that look like?

I tried it with my webserver on qnap nas. I copied the ics files into the web root folder and tried to access them as following

https://serverip:8081/birthdays.ics

but that didn’t work either.
I couldn’t find a solution to access my owncloud calendars directly, so I have to extract them to a ics file and try to host them as that.

Hi,
Is it possible to use in config.js file a calendar from e.g. /home/…/birthdays.ics or something alike?
I tried various things, but nothing worked yet.

Any sugestions?
