@sceetch I came to a conclusion to not use any modules which do not show any info on the screen. So, in this case, I use a python script at boot which monitors a PIR and executes an HDMI on/off cmd

@sceetch I’ve, more or less, the same setup but the sh files stored in the MagicMirror folder.

@sdetweil making progress by tweaking a bit the line shown above to

chromium-browser --autoplay-policy=no-user-gesture-required --noerrdialogs --incognito --kiosk -start_maximized  --disable-features=AudioServiceSandbox --disable-infobars --app=...

However, streaming video on a P0 is not the best way to go so, I decided to just stream audio with this link http://stream-uk1.radioparadise.com/mp3-192. It’s much easer on buffering

@sdetweil you mean in line 78?

chromium-browser -noerrdialogs -kiosk -start_maximized  --disable-features=AudioServiceSandbox --disable-infobars --app=...

the other way I get an error:

pi@magicmirror:~/MagicMirror $ chromium-browser --disable-features=AudioServiceSandbox
[1974:1974:0216/221501.872136:ERROR:browser_main_loop.cc(1432)] Unable to open X display.

@sdetweil Yes, I set swap to 1024. It’s slow but it works.
Thanks again!!

Hi,

I’m streaming video/music from a web but, for some reason, the audio doesn’t go through on a P0 it does on a P4 using the same config, however,

Youtube and audio tests pass on both pies.

Is there any reason for that?
TIA

@sdetweil Thank you! Finally got it going. I had to change the SD card.

Now I can finally replace my P4 with the P0. The P4, along with the display, are causing heat related problems so, P0 to the rescue.

Just FYI, I cannot hide the cursor and sudo apt-get install unclutter didn’t help.

@sdetweil I agree but which OS should I use? The lite one?

@sdetweil ok. Done the following with no avail.

Removed MagicMirror folder

Ran the install script. No errors. It did an autoreboot but no go.

Reviewed the install_log… no errors.

Did notice, however, the script created 3 folders:
MagicMirror
magic-mirror
magic-mirror-app

At reboot, the X server intent to start but incounters some errors and shuts down with the message: Server terminated successfully (0). Closing log file.

Where do I go from here?
TIA

Here’s the Xorg log:

@sdetweil but which one exacly? I had MM running on P4 but the heat produced by the processor, the screen and its electronics, has pushed me to try out MM on a P0. With that, I should resolve the heat issue.

So, after reading several outdated procedures and after investing hours (as you know, P0 is as slow as hell) I’m back to square one.

Which steps should I take from scratch?
Which SO should I start with?
Which install batch should I install?

@stanvv’s procedure worked till I had to reboot, then the X server stopped responding
