@ankonaskiff17 I have to agree that DAKBOARD is super lame. I read about MM a long time ago and found DAKBOARD becuase of my MM research. I actually looked at it for about a hour and thought it was lame too. MagicMirror is so customizable and I am a tinkerer. I like to change up things. I like to fix things and not wait on someone else to update when some api changes. So, I decided to tackle MagicMirror. I’ve learned a lot and this is a great community.

I’ve read through this topic and several others about backing up magic mirror especially this one
Re: So I have a question about backup

I’m trying to use Sam’s backup and restore scripts.
I actually have it making files into a folder named MM_backup. But now I think my problem is that I don’t understand how git works all that well yet. I’ve only used it in a very simplistic way until now.

Should my repository on GitHub have the same name as my local MM_backup folder? I ask because what is happening is that when I try to connect my local folder to the repository I made on GitHub, I get error messages about a repository inside a repository.

I made a repository on GitHub then went to my local MM_backup and git cloned that repository into MM_backup.
Then I ran the backup script making sure I specified the correct repository name. Then i try to git add the new files. GitHub is having none of it. says i have a repository inside a repository.

SOOO. I thought aHA! i will change the backup folder path in the bash script. I deleted all the folders i made.
Created a folder at /home/reponame
Ran the script using the flag -b /home/reponame

but the script doesn’t put the files in /home/reponame. The script creates a folder MM_backup and puts the files it made in there.
So perhaps that is a bug?

I don’t understand what is happening.
And i can’t push the files the script made to the repository because i somehow made a repository inside a repository.

I manually added the files to my repository on Github in the hopes that they’ll be useful at some point.

I’d really like to make this work. But I need help.

@ankonaskiff17 I think that is very cool. Vilros has a Magic Mirror kit too. This one looks more complete. Waveshare has some nice displays. I think the more people getting into and using the MagicMirror software the longer it will continue. This is a good thing for all of us. They are linking to our MagicMirror repository and giving good instructions for setting it up and modules too.

Drawing people here will help us all and ensure MM goes into the future.

@Hanimani Why not take the keyboard from your pc and plug it into your raspbery pi? use the mouse too.

@Dresch360

The Pi5 has new GPIO hardware. It is not compatible with software written for earlier Pi models.

So look at what gpio library is being called by the modules you are wanting to use.

I’ve been rewriting my own code to use gpiozero .
gpiozero works and isrecommend by raspberry pi foundation and works on older pis too.

Lgpio works on rpi5
Gpiod works on rpi5

Pigpio WILL NOT WORK
RPi.GIPO WILL NOT WORK

I haven’t tried rpi-lgpio which supposed to be a drop in replacement for rpi.gpio.

@Manu85

If you use YouTube, it is possible.

If you use isstracker.spaceflight.esa.int, it is not possible.

@Manu85 Youtube allows you to form the url requesting the video in a way that tells YouTube what size you want the YouTube player to be. The YouTube developers do that purposely as they make money from ads they show you.

Unfortunately the isstracker.spaceflight.esa.int website doesn’t allow you to do that.

Every website developer makes choices for their own website. We may not like what they choose.

@Manu85 I do not understand what you wrote. I think you want to change the size of the content you are grabbing from a different website.

MMM-SmartWebDisplay creates an iframe and shows a webpage inside that iframe.

Because you are displaying the contents of your link inside an iframe, you are stuck with whatever is coded in that frame. You can’t change what is in it. The web page you chose contents are set to a fixed size by the html code that creates that page.

The width and height in the config.js only affect the size of the iframe that you created with the module. Those values can not affect what is inside the iframe that are hosted on a different server.

Perhaps you can find a different source for your content? If you found something that isn’t set to a fixed size then it may display relative to the size of the iframe you build locally with the module.

This is by design of the www. It prevents hijacking content. If you want to read about it, it’s called same-domain policy.

comment puis je faire??

CSS controls the colors and format of the text. It is not the same as js. CSS is a very large topic but the best way to learn is to play with it. You will use the file custom.css to enter your changes. It will override any other css setup by the default MagicMirror.

This post has a lot of information: https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/6808/css-101-getting-started-with-css-and-understanding-how-css-works?_=1708249746950

@JohnGalt
I see you got your module choice working.
jclarke0000 is the one I’m using.
