Is this envy?
yes, I am feeling envy.
If only 1 RPI could drive them in sync.
I love my carousel but would like some static info on the screen. There however is just not enough reliable static space on my 32 in monitor. I do have a second matching monitor that could be mated like yours to have static and a dynamic element. Would be excellent if I could have one screen top\bottom in (mated: mode?)
Now off to look for a HDMI splitter.
Google API changes. This appears to effect mostly Maps users but will it stop there?
Thoughts?
Appears someone is cracking the nut and just needs to be ported.
I am greedy. I want what I should not ask.
It is updating just fine.
What is not updating is when I use multiple modules by copy folder, rename folder\js file and module name inside. I even attempted to change some of the vars to emulate a new module to no success.
Would like to have 3 gif maps in cycle for City, State\Regional and National weather radar.
Have a similar problem with how to scale MMM-GoogleMapsTraffic, but that is a whole more complex module it seams.
At least I can work with one and maybe schedule them to work when there is an interest in that level of radar detail.
FYI… I totally rebuilt the MM and test the EyeCandy module as reported and the update worked fine.
After a completed my full build, it would do an initial load of GIF but then would not update.
I also have Google traffic modules not working as previous and think maybe there is a conflict.
I did briefly isolate in the config file, just EyeCandy and the update issue persisted.
I am going to try and take out modules from folder a few at a time to see until I can get an RCA.
Just wanted to give you an update to the reproduced issue in my build.
@Mykle1 Works great! I have no clue what the conflict is but will finish out my build and see if anything crops up. Thanks!
I now have a great weather radar live feed!
@Mykle1 Once issue pm2 restart mm or reboot, it will download\load gif from url and play only that loop.
I am going to isolate and maybe move to a new MM2 load to test. Will report back.
Made the changes and did some testing this AM with no results.
-Was able to pull update and verify changes in EyeCandy.js were reflected.
-Updated config.js to reflect the example as well.
-Tracked my radar url for time stamp over time for change and no results.
See some commented code, do I need to uncomment as test?
Weather radar is a tough thing to solve, but I stumbled across a solution if I can get a module like MM-EyeCandy to do an update pull from the URL.
{
module: "MMM-EyeCandy",
position: "bottom_right",
config: {
maxWidth: "50%", // Sizes the images. Retains aspect ratio.
//style: "1", // 1 - 52 or use ownImagePath to override style
ownImagePath: "https://icons.wxug.com/data/weather-maps/radar/united-states/united-states-current-radar-animation.gif", // ex: "modules/MMM-EyeCandy/pix/YOUR_PICTURE_NAME.jpg", or internet url to image
//ownImagePath: "https://icons.wxug.com/data/weather-maps/radar/united-states/san-antonio-texas-region-current-radar-animation.gif",
updateInterval: 10 * 60 * 1000,
}
},
It does not appear the updateInterval is working unless it is throwing the following error when isolated.
Whoops! There was an uncaught exception…
TypeError: Cannot read property ‘hash’ of null

MagicMirror will not quit, but it might be a good idea to check why this happened. Maybe no internet connection?
If you think this really is an issue, please open an issue on GitHub: https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/issues
Any ideas?
New to MM and testing set. I was able to config several pages and arrange, but they are not advancing through the pages at interval. Any ideas where to start?
