I wanted a way to cycle through a list of live webcams, that are freely available, as well as local sources from CCTV security cameras; so I created the MMM-iframes module . The example configuration includes YouTube live embed urls and the salesforce tower cameras as well as other random live webcam feeds. If a keyboard is connected, buttons can be configured to switch the camera feed source arbitrarily and cycle through the list of cameras faster than the configured update interval. I don’t use my MagicMirror behind a mirror, and have only tested this with a desk monitor.

@sdetweil Good call! I didn’t see that there 🫣 I moved my custom css to custom.css and it all works the same. Thanks!

A module like this probably already exists, but I couldn’t find one and thought it would be a good use case to make my first module. The idea about this module is to pipe the return value of some terminal/bash command(s) to my magic mirror display, on a loop. I had a couple of use cases: display uptime from the rpi running magicmirror, and kubectl commands on my local k3s cluster as a poor-man’s monitoring system, to view health of kubernetes deployments.

Neat @biscuitbigfoot!
@lparco I know this is an old thread, but I got this working as well. Copy the backround2.jpeg to the css directory and add the css provided to the bottom of the main.css file. “Cascading style sheets” mean that whatever is at the bottom will override anything above, so you don’t need to remove duplicates.

After I got the background working, I had to tweak some of the sizes to make it look right on my monitor through trial and error.
