    • RE: MMM-EasyBack no autostart Video

      Ah I see! It works THANK YOU!
      Must be because of the pre-made image I installed MagicMirror with.

      Here is the link:

      http://emmanuelcontreras.com/how-to/how-to-create-a-magic-mirror-2-with-pi-zero-w/

      Here is the fix:

      I edited the file chromium_start.sh found here:

      pi@raspberrypi:~ $ ls
      chromium_start.sh  MagicMirror  mmstart.sh  node-v10.16.0-linux-armv6l  package-lock.json
      

      and added

      --autoplay-policy=no-user-gesture-required
      

      Example:

        GNU nano 3.2                          chromium_start.sh                                                                         
      
      #!/bin/sh
      unclutter &
      xset -dpms # disable DPMS (Energy Star) features.
      xset s off # disable screen saver
      xset s noblank # don’t blank the video device
      matchbox-window-manager &
      #midori -e Fullscreen -a http://localhost:8080
      chromium-browser --autoplay-policy=no-user-gesture-required --incognito --kiosk http://localhost:8080/

    • RE: Introduce yourself!

      Hello everyone,

      I work at a school and thought this Raspberry Pi project would be perfect for a bulletin board.

      It is definitely more involved than I thought it would be. But its been a great learning experience.

      Still working out the bugs though. Hopefully have it bug free soon!

      In the readme you should really give the thanks to sdetweil , he’s the one who basically gave me the answer.

    • RE: MMM-EasyBack YouTube force video quality

      Yes, split mode,

      I need to install it normally. I think a few of my problems are related to that.

      in that code what would I adjust to make it 1080p

      unfortunately I also don’t know where that code is found either…

      Sorry

    • RE: MMM-EasyBack YouTube force video quality

      @sdetweil said in MMM-EasyBack YouTube force video quality:

      google search “youtube playback resolution”
      usually the screen size is 1280/1024 or 1920/1080 (4k is 3840x2160)

      Yeah I don’t think that is the problem right now. I’m using the default which is 1080/1920

      I think it has to do with it being in mirrored mode. I wonder if there is some place I can force it to 1080p

    • MMM-EasyBack YouTube force video quality

      Hello,

      I am currently running my Mirror on a raspberry pi 3 (originally on a zero swapped SD to a 3) in mirrored mode. I think that is what the mode is called.

      I’m going to reinstall soon in regular mode but I want to buy another SD card so that I don’t loose all the work I’ve done so far.

      My problem currently is that the quality on youtube seems to be 480p.

      I also see that there is a place where I can adjust the size to fit the screen but adjusting the pixels. How do I know how many pixels I should adjust it to? Would that fix the problem? I hope I am posting in the right place.

      @sdetweil said in MMM-EasyBack no autostart Video:

      is was a pi0, and that you were running split mode…

      what is split mode? If I am I didn’t mean to, I have it directly connected to a TV that I am using as a Bulletin board.

      Well I ended up going to a static picture because I can’t think of what else to do.
