It would just display a blank calendar with no events - past or future
I resolved the issue 5 minutes after I posted my enquiry and it is working as expected now.
Not 100% sure, but I think I had mistyped the URL, specifically the /private-…/basic.ics section.
Hi all
I’ve installed the MMM-MonthlyCalendar from kolbyjack (https://github.com/kolbyjack/MMM-MonthlyCalendar).
The module displays the current month without an issue, but it is not displaying the desired calendar.
I assume the module utilises the MM’s default Calendar module to access my Google calendar as there are no details about adding the calendar within the config of the MMM-MonthlyCalendar module.
My Google calendar displays fine within the default module, just not in this module from kolbyjack.
If anyone has any pointers on what I should/need to do, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
@sdetweil
yeah, I started it via the mm2.sh script that had the “npm run server” command
I’ve now started the second instance as “pm2 start pm2_MagicMirror2_new.json” and “pm2 status” does show both instances running.
Ran “pm2 save”, rebooted the host and both instances are showing as expected - MM#1 on the display connected to the host device, with MM#1 and MM#2 via a browser on a remote device/devices.
@sdetweil
Fair enough.
So i’ll have to have a physical computer like a Pi, NUC or MiniPC attached to the TV via HDMI to display the MM via that computer’s browser.
Not a big deal as the TV would be used for viewing TV channels and online streaming content anyway.
@sdetweil
after running the mm2.sh script (runs as “npm run server”) and then I initiate a new SSH to the MM, I still only see a single instance (the original instance from mm.sh) of MM running when I issue a pm2 status command.
Although I can physically see the second MM displayed as desired in my browser, I’m not seeing the second instance via the pm2 status command.
@BKeyport
isn’t this to run two MM’s on a single display and have the second MM displayed from the 1920th pixel on the x axis?
I’m wanting to run two MM’s, each instance on isolated displays - one on the display connected to the host in the traditional method and the other on a remote display like another computer, or TV with an in-built browser.
@sdetweil
OK, so I launched the second instance of MM via mm2.sh with the “npm run server” command.
I then launched a second SSH session to the MM device and issued a “pm2 save” command.
Rebooted the MM device from the second SSH session but the second MM instance didn’t come up.
@sdetweil
so mm2.sh should/would be:
#!/bin/bash
cd ~/MagicMirror
export MM_CONFIG_FILE=config/config2.js
export MM_PORT=8081
npm run server
#DISPLAY=:0 npm start
while mm.sh remains untouched
When I have this in place:
However, when I run mm2.sh while I am SSH’d to the MM, I am not returned to the command line so I can save the pm2 setup.
I just have a prompt saying “Ready to go! Please point your browser to http://ipaddress:8081”
I have to Ctrl-C to cancel out, which then stops the server function and the #2 instance is no longer displayed
@sdetweil
OK, so no requirement to update the “name” and “watch” values in the .json file, but it doesn’t hurt to do so from an fyi perspective, right???
When I run “pm2 start config2.js”, I can then access the second instance via browser on another device with no issue, but it also takes over the display directly connected to the MM host device.
I can view both MM instances via a browser on different devices (great, as that was one of my original questions), but what if i want to view instance #1 via the display directly connected to the MM host device and instance #2 via a remote browser (or vice versa?
My .sh files to start each MM instance are as follows:
mm.sh
#!/bin/bash
cd ~/MagicMirror
DISPLAY=:0 npm start
mm2.sh
#!/bin/bash
cd ~/MagicMirror
export MM_CONFIG_FILE=config/config2.js
export MM_PORT=8081
npm start
#DISPLAY=:0 npm start
Should I change anything, or what would I need to change, to have the desired outcome described above?
@sdetweil
Thanks. That has sort of help me out and pointed me in the right direction.
Is it just as simple as copying the existing:
and editing the pm2_MagicMirror2_new.json file to reference:
and then executing pm2 start config2.js --name MagicMirror2
