I understand that in the beginning the amount information can be overwhelming, but how are you going to find out what you are doing when you scrape your project?
Especially when you are so close in getting the ‘Mirror’ started; just a few characters are missing in the config file.
The community here is very active and very helpful and can step down a nodge when it is getting too technical.
Of course it is expected that you have a certain level of knowledge or that you are willing to obtain that level.

Besides spending several hours, did you spend any money on equipment, etc?

If you decide to give it a last effort, then it would help to tell us on what platform your Mirror is running (Raspberry, PC, Ubuntu, etc) and it would help to report back with a bit more details (other than I tried and it did not work).
And if someone tells you to perform action XYZ and you have no idea what the heck XYZ is or how to execute, then don’t be afraid to say so.

The suggestions given, like try it module by module and the config check are very useful (I guess everyone was in this position, I know I was) and will solve your issues.

If you decide to move away from Magic Mirror, then I respect that, but perhaps you will reconsider.

Disclaimer: I do not have any shares in the project and am by no means an expert. Just reaching out.

Hi,

For beginners, the catchphrase is “JSON syntax”.
There are many articles to be found, both short and lengthy.
A small article would be:
https://restfulapi.net/json-syntax/

The main things to look for in your config.js file are:

• does every [ have a matching ]
• are all arrays separated by a , (the last array does not need a ,)
• does every { have a matching }
• are all objects separated by a , (the last object does not need a ,)
• is every name value pair separated by a ,

The syntax checker will try to find out if this syntax is correct and tries to predict where the error could be.
So, when it says it saw a [ and it cannot find a matching ] it tells you what was expected and what it saw.

Try to format you config.js to make it more visible.
For example this:

[{},{}],[{},{[]}]

is better written like this:

[
  {},
  {}
],
[
  {
  },
  {
    [
    ]
  }
]

Pairs of [ ]and { } are better visible like this.

Good luck

@CyruS1337 said in Cronjob:

I have always used the command sudo crontab -e and with this it did not work.

Just to clarify.

Normally you are user pi: $ who am I

So crontab -e will work for the pi user.
Using sudo crontab -e will change the crontab for the root user.

Now how can you tell what is what ?

For the user pi:
$ sudo crontab -l -u pi
which is the same as
$ crontab -l
For the user root:
$ sudo crontab -l -u root

Furthermore, when you have activated the root crontab, then the command will run as root, in the root (/) directory.
In this case pm2 reload command will search for the mm.sh script under / and will not find it.
Whereas when activated the pi crontab, the mm.sh script will be searched in the /home/pi directory, where it should be, and it will work.

Use pm2 show mmto show the details on mm under pm2.
Then you will understand it better.

Cron messages normally are directed to /var/log/cron.log, but on my system it is not directed:

$ grep cron /etc/rsyslog.conf
#cron.*				/var/log/cron.log

To see the cron messages, when not in cron.log:

$ tail -F /var/log/syslog | grep CRON

[ On my system I see CRON messages for root, although I do not have root crontab entries. There is a crond running that runs alongside $ systemctl status cron.]

Have fun

I got streaming from a Linux SAT receiver with enigma2 working, using the module MMM-RTSPStream-
But you will need to supply a bit more information than rather ‘a TV tuner’.

See this thread:
https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/9730/led-monitor-vertical-setup-how?_=1591998940597

In your case I would try

display_hdmi_rotate=1

@Clubjack and others,

I noticed this problem too.
For instance my birthday lasted 2 days ( only got presents once though) and my wedding-day is one day forward (which will upset my wife).
The entries were made using Google Calendar (so not a calendar app that synchronizes with Google).
I notice this since 2020, but that does not mean it did not happen before, could have overlooked it.
When I ran a test with a dummy entry, it worked fine.
When I toggle a „faulty“ entry from repeating to not repeating and then back to repeating, the entry is shown correct.
I collected some data and will post it when I sorted it out a bit.

Probably there are better and possible simpler ways to get it done, but I do something similar using a Perl script and this module:
https://github.com/eouia/MMM-HTMLBox
The Perl script reads values and builds a HTML page.
The module displays it on the Magic Mirror.
A cron job makes it semi-static as it runs the script regularly.

Okay, got it working.

In ioBroker I needed to activate the "Build-in Simple-API in web.0.

Then this works:

And this works:

Make sure you only have one of the options active; not that you rotate a rotated screen.

@djerik said in [MMM-MieleAtHome] - Show the status of your Miele@Home Devices:

it will start a browser and show the authorization screen using this URI.

It will not take my password
I have the same login name (email address) as the home-connect account, perhaps that is the reason.
I am trying to delete the account, but till now no luck.
Will keep trying and will report back.

@djerik said in [MMM-MieleAtHome] - Show the status of your Miele@Home Devices:

Inspired by the good work of @ViDiBi, I have created a version for Home Connect: https://github.com/djerik/MMM-HomeConnect

Hi,

I am having difficulties in registering an application in order to get a client ID and a client_secret.

In the Register Application form, what do I use for example for the Redirect URI ?

@warrendt

Can you check following ?

Process omx_stream1 present:

$ pm2 status

$ ps -eaf | grep -v grep | grep omxplayer

Entries in pm2 log:

$ pm2 logs --lines 100

Might need to flush the logs and restart MM in order to show new RTSPStream log entries:

$ pm2 flush
$ pm2 restart MagicMirror

$ pm2 logs --lines 100

omxplayer version:

$ omxplayer -version

MMM-RTSPStream git status

$ cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-RTSPStream
$ git status

I am on the develop branch, you might need o switch to that too.

$ cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-RTSPStream
$ git checkout develop
$ npm install

@Hram2008 said in [MMM-RTSPStream] - Video Streaming from Live Feeds & Security Cameras:

Please see below.

Hi,

I would first disable the module (disabled: true,) and restart MM.
Check if there are no omx_streams running (pm2 status).
Stop them when present (pm2 stop omx_stream1 / pm2 delete omx_stream1).

Then verify if omxplayer works standalone (use your own user & password & IP address).
If it does not work standalone, then there is no need to continue trying the module.

$ omxplayer --avdict rtsp_transport:tcp --win 85,65,725,425 --live --video_queue 4 --fps 30 --no-osd rtsp://user:password@192.168.178.55/axis-media/media.amp?resolution=640x360

If that works you can try this verified config (use your own user & password & IP address):

$ vi ~/MagicMirror/config/config.js

  {
    module: "MMM-RTSPStream",
    //disabled: false,
    disabled: true,
    position: "middle_center",
    header: "Axis Security Monitor",
    config: {
      autoStart: true,
      rotateStreams: false,
      moduleWidth: 640,
      moduleHeight: 360,
      localPlayer: 'omxplayer',
      remotePlayer: 'none',
      showSnapWhenPaused: false,
      remoteSnaps: false,
      stream1: {
        name: 'Axis_P1448_LE',
        url: 'rtsp://user:password@192.168.178.55/axis-media/media.amp?resolution=640x360',
        frameRate: "30",
        protocol: "tcp",
        width: 640,
        height: 360,
        omxRestart: 1,
        hwAccel: true,
      }
    }
  },

This works for Axis P1448-LE, M2026-LE Mk II and M1125-E.

Good luck.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

I am not able to respond to your settings right now, please remind me when I do not answer in a few days.

@ViDiBi said in [MMM-MieleAtHome] - Show the status of your Miele@Home Devices:

just uploaded some screenshots

Nice!
I do not have Miele, but Neff and that makes use of Home Connect.
I see that Bosch, Siemens and Neff are listed, but not Miele.
Still a nice module for MM, well done.

Hi @ViDiBi

Could you add one or more pictures?
“Geräte werden geladen…“ is not vey exciting

And does it work with Home Connect, or is it for Miele only?

@dwburger said in [MMM-RTSPStream] - Video Streaming from Live Feeds & Security Cameras:

I’m just getting the “have a nice day” error.

Can you see if the omxplayer.log gives a clue?
And what would your VLC url look like?

It can be that your cam or codec is not supported.

@dwburger said in [MMM-RTSPStream] - Video Streaming from Live Feeds & Security Cameras:

Could someone give me a little push

When using the module or not, omxplayer always will be an overlay on top of your MM display.

Test if it works at all (example for an Axis IP camera):

$ omxplayer --avdict rtsp_transport:tcp --live --video_queue 4 --fps 30 --win "0 625 590 957" rtsp://user:password@192.168.178.56/axis-media/media.amp?resolution=640x360

With log:

$ omxplayer --genlog --avdict rtsp_transport:tcp --live --video_queue 4 --fps 30 --win "0 0 640 360" rtsp://user:password@192.168.178.56/axis-media/media.amp?resolution=640x360

The positioning of the stream can be a bit of a pain.
Size of video stream:
(x2 - x1) x (y2 - y1) = 640 x 360

To use it under control of pm2 (iso of vi you also can use nano):

$ cd /home/pi
$ vi axis.sh
#!/bin/bash
echo "Starting Axis stream ..."

# No rotation
omxplayer --avdict rtsp_transport:tcp --live --video_queue 4 --fps 30 --win "0 625 590 957" rtsp://user:password@192.168.178.56/axis-media/media.amp?resolution=640x360

$ pm2 start axis.sh
$ pm2 save

To see it run:

$pm2 status

To restart it:

$ pm2 restart axis

To stop it:

$ pm2 stop axis

To remove it from pm2:

$ pm2 delete axis
