@dazza120 what heatsink beast is that? :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

@Cr4z33 ho ho, hold on you’re quite fast here with your conclusions.
What else should one do to deliver the picture via HDMI?

Have you heard of more people having problems with HDMI adapters and the Pi 4?

Yes on a Rpi Facebook group.

It surely might depend also on what adapter you are going to use, but don’t expect 100% guarantee that it will work fine at 4K@60Hz.

I spent € 7,00 for that crap adapter, sent it back to Amazon and got a proper micro HDMI to HDMI cable certified for 4K for the same amount.

@Cr4z33 said in Raspberry Pi 4 Released !:

My issue with the Pi and MM is different.

After installing MM, configuring autostart I rebooted, but now the max resolution is 1024x768… 😣

OK problem sorted and… one suggestion for every body going to buy a Rpi 4:

DO NOT USE MICRO HDMI TO HDMI ADAPTER! IT’S CRAP AND CAUSES ISSUES WITH HDMI RESOLUTION!

@Cr4z33 said in [MMM-Remote-Control](v2-dev) Extensible REST API, Dynamic Menus, and Socket Communications, plus other updates:

I need to add some custom commands to control MMM-RTSPStream streams like if they were tv channel buttons, but I am not skilled enough to understand the interested readme section. :smiling_face_with_open_mouth_cold_sweat:

@shbatm could you please help me adding one stream button (as example for all the others to add)?

All I need is to run a combo of ‘RTSP-STOP all’ first (I am using OMXplayer therefore I prefer to kill any running stream first) and ‘RTSP-PLAY streamX’ immediately after.

@shbatm you there mate please? :smiling_face_with_halo:

@SH20192 just out of curiosity were you running MagicMirror?

And if so were you running MMM-Spotify?
I ask because last update of this module is giving me a black screen.

My Rpi 4 arrived a couple of hours ago, but I still have to take it out of the box.

@dazza120 ouch correct. :smiling_face_with_open_mouth_cold_sweat:

On the other board I could place it on the bottom side while on the Rpi you can’t.

@SH20192 I see.

I will start with an old Intel heatsink.

I got very good cooling results with a Rock Pi 4 B so I don’t think it will be any worse hehe.

@SH20192 are you using any cooling system and if yes what? :)

@dazza120 yes.

You can read here a very good article about all the good things it can do and how the Pi 4 is performing compared to the previous generation. :)

@Sean said in Raspberry Pi 4 Released !:

hmmmm. somewhat expensive (only in Germany?)

Recently I’ve purchased several stronger alternatives - Khadas Edge-V around $100, NVIDIA Jetson nano $100 also.
I will buy this one also for test, but could it be better than those?

I was going to buy it from Germany too thinking at the good prices I got for the Pi 3 B, but at this round for some reason it is WAY cheaper (EUR 59 + shipping) to buy it from Italy for me.

However let’s see what comes out with MagicMirror once I get it delivered (they say 24h) especially by using the new Raspbian Buster… :crossed_fingers_medium_skin_tone:

@Canterrain no that is correct. ;)

@sdetweil finally I could hear the sound output of Alexa in my mirror!

However for some reason it plays like if in slow motion. :persevering_face:

@Canterrain follow this guide.

It worked for me.

@sdetweil cheers going to try it now! :thumbs_up_medium_skin_tone:

@sdetweil so I followed the Audio guide, but immediately had to go to the Audio Troubleshooting section because no sound was coming out.

Created the suggested audio settings file, rebooted, but the module keeps working like in my first post here…

I am using HDMI output and a USB mic.
They work perfectly with other modules or ie. with VLC playing.

Edit
My fault I didn’t run MM into dev mode so now I notice there’s actually an error when waking up the module, but I don’t know what it means.

Does anybody have please a clue about what’s written below?

MMM-awesome-alexa.js:1 Uncaught (in promise) DOMException: play() failed because the user didn't interact with the document first. https://goo.gl/xX8pDD

@sdetweil sure.

I might have some spare time later today and I definitely need a working Alexa module ASAP.

@sdetweil said in MMM-awesome-alexa:

@Cr4z33 how does the module play audio? I had an alexa module that used mpg321, which wasn’t installed… so it never made any sound

looks like the awesome alex debug says to test play with

omxplayer -o alsa myAudioFile.mp3

https://github.com/dolanmiu/MMM-awesome-alexa/blob/master/docs/audio-setup.md

now that the author has one lined the source, it is hard to help as much…

I actually didn’t check that part yet because every other module using sound (ie. MMM-AssistantMk2, MMM-Spotify, etc.) is already working perfectly.

Also I see there’s no option in the module to set the audio output so… :man_shrugging_medium_skin_tone:
