RE: Cannot Get Magic Mirror To Start On Second Screen
That is what the electron option in the config file should do:
electronOptions: {fullsscreen:false, width:800, x:600}
But this gave an error when starting the MagicMirror app.
And i know CSS, there isn’t anything in main.css wich states what the resolution schould be, only that everything must stretch to 100%. Than modules can overlap eachother, but that is what I can edit in the config file and modules own css files. -
RE: Cannot Get Magic Mirror To Start On Second Screen
Maybe to clarify it a bit more: I have my big screen on HDMI port 1 from my raspberry pi. I did connect the 7" touchscreen with de monitor port on the raspberry itself, not through it’s HDMI port 2 or otherwise. And ok, the export worked but now it says it can’t connect to screen 4, but there is an extended desktop on that screen. That’s kinda weird. I don’t know anything else right now…

RE: Cannot Get Magic Mirror To Start On Second Screen
yes that’s exactly what I did, and yes I used pm2 to autostart, but disabled it so now i start with npm start inside MagicMirror folder from terminal. Intention is to let it start with pm2 autostart if i can get it to start on that second screen.

Cannot Get Magic Mirror To Start On Second Screen
Hello, I recently bought a raspberry pi4b 4Gig model and found this application. I love Magic Mirror and have been playing it for a week now. But I want magic mirror to start on the second screen (official Raspberry Pi 7" touchscreen) instead of it’s main screen (a 55" Smart TV). I already tried the electionOption, but that resolves into an error for the config file. I already set some config files from magic mirror to start from screen 4 (That’t the official screen for the LCD display, where screen 0 is my default screen). But that even doesn’t work. Anyone know how to let MagicMirror start from the second screen? I would be very happy if someone knows how to fix this.
