I’m not using pi, so I don’t really know if this will help or not… could be different

@pakmann

GEEZ!!!

I literally just installed a fresh MagicMirror to an Ubuntu OS, and had zero issues.

I did a manual install of Browserlist…

npm install Browserlist@3.0 -g

then I also did a manual install of PhantomJS…

sudo npm insall PhantomJS@latest -g

Then I made sure I had updated versions of npm, node, and electron

npm install npm@latest -g
npm install node@ latest -g
sudo npm electron@latest -g

@mochman

Yeah, it’s possible if the update was retrieved during that time.

@pakmann

OR…
Rename your MagicMirror folder to MM-BAK

then git clone MagicMirror for a fresh install

Then move your modules folder, config.js, and custom.css files over to the fresh install

might also need to move the package.json and package-lock.json files from the bak to the fresh install

And, anytime I have dealt with anything like this, I always have to rebuild, or reboot, or both

@pakmann

Well, I am not sure what is happening…
My best guess is to delete the .git folder then redo the git pull && npm install

@pakmann

delete the file causing new error…

.git/objects/36/766f9a0089766d4a0e164f3f0b198dadcf60c4 is empty

Then rebuild again…

npm rebuild

then reboot again

if this doesn’t work, you may need to do the git pull && npm install again

@pakmann

try…

npm rebuild
from the MagicMirror directory

then reboot your system

All I know is that with the new MM update that came out on the 1st of October, this is the only way I have been able to get some modules to work, including after the MM update. Was suggested to me by Michael Teeuw when I first updated to v2.5.0.

@agustin

you were able to post this question…

What is your question regarding email-mirror?

Post it here…

@pakmann

delete the file giving he error…

.git/objects/5d/fba0b834306cc81693307ab0d1bf24e798a46a is empty

@shinobi

MMM-Voice or any of the other voice recognition modules will not work with Windows.

@striiker

Add this to custom.css, Make the changes you want in it…

.MMM-NewsFeedTicker {
    height: 100px;
    background-color: maroon;
    opacity: 1.0;
}

.MMM-NewsFeedTicker .headline {
    padding-top: 15px;
    font-size: 100%;
}

.MMM-NewsFeedTicker .image {
  height: 100px;
  background-color: #FFF;
}

Let me know if you have any problems with this.

I am glad that you like it! :smiling_face_with_sunglasses:

@shinobi

I have found a few open source voice applications, BUT, I am pretty new at this stuff and have no idea how to incorporate them into MM.

Some that I have found that are supposed to work with WIndows is Simon, HTK, & Sphinx4, just to name a few off what I have researched in the past year. I was pretty optimistic with Sphinx4 as most generally, the voice modules associated with MM are sphinx-based or use pocketSphinx. But, to get anything to work, I need more knowledge.

I have been reading on them, but geez… way over my head… Yeah, I did try to stand up! Still higher than my learning. And I have a degree in computer programming. From 15 years ago, and have not used it since graduating. So, EVERYTHING is new to me!

I have been dabbling with Ubuntu, and seems to be a little easier getting these modules to work. Even that is a relearning situation, haven’t messed with anything Linux-based for 15 years either.

As much as I like Windows, I would like to see MM applications to be utilized with it. For now, I am getting ready to create a dual-boot with Ubuntu with my dev machine, so I can at least play with those modules that are not compatible with Windows at this time.

I also tried to use a Windows tablet at one time, but it wasn’t compatible, too old of ARM to get anything installed on it. I have a NextBook waiting for me to repair in the hopes of being able to at least try to use it for MM.

@shinobi

When you do find a way to get VOICE and Facial recognition working in the Windows platform, PLEASE SHARE!!!

I have been trying to figure it out for over a year now!

Description:

A modification of the default newsfeed module that wil show the newsfeed logo and scroll across your screen like those you can see on the TV News Channels (CNN, ESPN, MSN, etc).

ScreenShots:

I think I have it done!
Repository updated.
Put on list in 3rd Party Modules page

MMM-NewsFeedTicker

Now, If only I can remember how to make those gh-cards!!! LMAO!!!

Thanks Everyone who helped me with this!!!

@sean

its no problem, I was able to figure it all out by comparing code.

Thank you so much for ALL your help!!!

@blueadam @cyberphox @electros

MMM-NewsFeedTicker

Yes! I now have the scrolling newsfeed with logo that will change for more than 1 newsfeed!!! :smiling_face_with_sunglasses:

Thanks to @sdetweil and @Sean for helping me along and learning me!

@sdetweil

ok, so here are some of the differences between the one we have been working on, and the one Sean reworked:

His truncates the description, I cannot figure out how to make it not truncate.

His images are set to height and width, Mine, I can set the height and the width is auto configured for aspect-ratio.

His shows the same message repeatedly for a period of time, then changes, Mine changes after each message.

with his, I can adjust the scroll speed, mine, I can’t figure out why it won’t change.

So, I am trying to figure out how to make the scroll adjustable as it goes really slow.

@sdetweil

I get that now. Thanks!

My only issue at the moment is getting the speed of the animation to go faster on my original that Sean fixed to work. His re-worked one is adjustable, mine won’t budge!

I’ve even tried to incorporate some od the same coding he used in his, and I can’t figure it out! It is very weird!!!
