    • RE: Magicmirror in bathroom with steam shower?

      Easy way to keep a mirror from steaming up is rub a bar of soap on the mirror then wipe it off…no steam ;)

    • RE: MMM-htmlvideo, Basic video file player

      @jabellas You are using a pi and they aren’t really powerhouses when it comes to computing. I would try having the video located off of the pi and try it again.

    • Here's what I'm going to do...

      I’ve already made a 32" touch screen, now I’m going to do this and build a 24" touch screen.

      New Build

      I figured why not. I was able to get a 24" IR Frame for 50 bucks and ordered a newer PI cam for PI4. All I’m waiting on now is the camera. I have all the other parts already. So I’m basically replacing my bathroom mirror with this one…

      Stay tuned, should be fun!! :)

    • RE: Stack rank modules

      @ssauer I understand but here’s the issue with that depending on when a module is made. What I mean is that if a weather module was made 5 years ago it won’t show any ‘hits’ in a voting system. So going to github will give you an accurate view of it’s latest ‘hits’… which to me is an indicator that it works and it’s a good module.

      As for ‘downvoted’ that’s not a good idea either. Some people have developed modules and shared with the community. Some developers are no longer here and becuase they offer their modules for free downvoting is a slap in the face. No one can or should expect someone to maintain a free module for life.

      The idea of MagicMirror is so that the user can take active part in the development of their own mirror. I know myself have taken someone else’s module and molded to my needs for my mirror which is in all reality is what is supposed to happen. They offer it for free and it’s up to the person using it to modify/fix etc for their own needs.

      Matter of fact I’m helping a couple people with a module I didn’t write because like I said the orginal developer isn’t going to maintain it for life. That’s what the community is for. To help, assist and again it’s free. I’m not downvoting a module because someone moved on with their life and don’t have time to maintain something they offered for free because it isn’t working. Modules aren’t a 1 size fits all kinda thing. Sometimes there’s issues because depending on what you’ve done to your own MagicMirror it may cause an issue. This was created and has been maintained as a ‘learning’ experience for users. This basically is an ‘educational’ setting and downvoting would be a bad idea.

      I understand what you’re asking for but I don’t see it happening. When the MagicMirror project first started there was very little help. It took me a week to even get mine to start. BUT I took the time, fixed the issues and got it working. I felt good about that because at that point I had NO clue what I was doing and had no help. I am not a programmer, I learned to be one. That was the whole idea here and I am grateful for the experience and the friends I’ve made and the help they’ve given me. This is what this is about. We do live in a [as I call it] ‘buy me, give me, take me’ world where people want instant results. In reality that’s not how things work :)

      So a voting system will, in my opinion, deter people from creating. I cannot think of one module developer that would want a voting system. Again they offered for free and if you choose to use one and you have an issue with it come here and ask for help, there are people that are more then willing to assist :)

      PS there are a TON of weather modules LOL
