so i am running MM on a Rpi3 and it works just fine for several days.After 7-8 days more or less suddenly the screen blacks showing only my MMM-RTSPStream feed using vlc.Tried to restart it with pm2 and it seems it runs fine but i only get the same black screen.If i open mm remotely to chrome browser for example,it shows up and working fine.I only get black at Rpi.If i restart Rpi pm2 seems to start mm but nothing shows up.If i “npm start” from MagicMirror directory log shows that MM and all modules are running fine but i still get nothing on screen.Now the weird part,if i “sudo apt-get update—> sudo apt-get upgrade” and reboot then everything is magically working like before.Any ideas?

@costascontis said in default clock size?:

@broberg thnx mate,but if i use transform: scale all the module goes left and off screen like this:

Ahh, okey

add

transform-origin: top left;

under transform: scale

Or to change font sizes.

.clock .time { font-size: 100px; } .clock .date { font-size: 30px; }

thanx,i got it .I test it opening mm ip at chrome and works great only MMM-RTSPSTREAM doent work.It doent show my cam ,maybe has something to do with vlc i am using…Anyway now i have to find a screensaver program for windows that can show a webpage…

i have used the MMM-AssistantMK2 with MMM-Hotword at my previous MM instalation .It was so messy instaling that modules,with a lot of errors,deletes,start over but i have managed to get them work spending a lot of time .So i wish someone with the right knowledge to make a module or an instalation script that can install google assistant with the nice visual interface that MMM-AssistantMK2 is using,and a “ok google” trigger word. Just install,add the credentials file and the config.js part.I dont have the time and the Knowledge to do that .I dont even Know if it is possible,but it will be awesome!

How can we lock a module’s size?My issue is that i use MMM-AssistantMk2 at top_left,above my calendar that is at top_left position too.When i use assistant it changes size depending to my question and it makes calendar change width too.How can i lock calendar’s size?

@costascontis give a look here.

I use these commands everyday with my Samsung TV. :)

Yeah that will be amazing will have to check it out.

@j-e-f-f can you share a quick guide to how you did this and the simple module you created? this is exactly what I have been looking for. please and thank you

Both do

cd ~/MagicMirror npm install

You should not upgrade while mirror is running

Apparently neither used the upgrade script, right?

MagicMirror and GassistPi are two very cool project that can run on the same Rpi3.Gassistpi is the cooler google assistant project out there,no one has so many features available.I am gonna post it to the GassistPi chat too if someone with the right knowledge can make a MagicMirror module for visual presentation of Gassistpi .I thing this will be the cooler features of all.There are several MM modules for voice control but in my opinion Gassist running outside of MM is way better.

@surger13 yes, sorry, didn’t mention mount was required to get access first before the link…

hidden folders. that is a a surprise!

yes i have,for some reason MMM-RTSPSTREAM with vlc is crashing my Gassist running at the same pi.If i run only vlc separately from mm everything is running nice.

@costascontis - Are all of your modules working correctly? Some modules may have an infinite and very short retry on API calls. Multiple internet calls take up a fair amount of processing power.

Do you notice anything in the logs?

What’s your CSS look like to make the grey background, shouldn’t be anything more than this:

.module {
background-color:rgba(0,0,0,0.5);
border-radius: 5px;
padding:5px;
}

@costascontis motion is trying to write it’s log to /var/log, which requires root authority. I think u can change this in motion.conf

actually i got it to work,starting the motion with sudo motion -n it executes the comands just fine.My screen is turning on and off just fine.I just want to find out how to start motion with pm2 now .

@phario or 0 to disable that function in motion

@costascontis please tell me how you did it with the MMM-iFrame module.
would you have me an example config ??
Please help me thank you
