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

@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

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.

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

e position but I would like to vote for @sdetweil. He already surpasses all the requirements. Talk about being overqualified. No one deserves it more than him. He a

I literally thought he was one already ! LOL

No, I thank you! I took a bit, but I’m happy with this!

Sweet thanks!

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.

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/

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

@Mykle1

so random question, I can’t find the video of the monkeys My mirror’s default video was of the earth.

I am also now using a Raspberry Pi 3 B+

Oh an just to update with the clean install I had the same issue.

@sdetweil

is this the start file you are talking about?

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

mmstart.sh?

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo nano mmstart.sh

  GNU nano 3.2                       mmstart.sh                                 

#!/bin/bash
cd ~/MagicMirror
node serveronly &
sleep 30
xinit /home/pi/chromium_start.sh

npm start dev

Is that where it goes?

Man doing this project makes me feel so dumb I need to learn more, any suggestions?

@sdetweil

I am trying a clean install now

Yeah I can’t get it to come up.

I’m not sure what else I can do.

yep, like if I’m hitting ctrl + alt + delete correct?

instead it’s ctrl shift i

yeah, it does nothing… is there a way to access it with the mouse?

My Keyboard is connected and working because I can quit magic mirror with the keyboard.

@sdetweil

Humm… ctrl shift i doesn’t seem to work. may be it is just slow, I’m rebooting now and am going to try again. I’m using a raspberry pi zero.

@sdetweil said in MMM-EasyBack no autostart Video:

and scroll up to see any info, or errors…
u can also filter for just messages from a single module by putting part of the module name in the filter entryfield

Sure, I can do that, but is there a way to do that through the console? To physically access the pi I have to climb a ladder. I’m going to do that now but it would be awesome if I don’t have to next time.
