And I have also noticed some big discrepancies with OpenWeatherMap and my local weather. So you’re not alone there.

Right, the wiki states that not all elements will be translated.

@mbartels said in Weather Location / Calendar Format / Fast boot:

• Weather: The displayed weather forecast is not the same like when I manually search for my location at openweathermap. There are some (major) differences in the forecast. How can I be sure that the right location is chosen? And is it possible to display the name of the location on top of the current weather?

Visit 'http://www.openweathermap.org' and type in your city (only), let it show you what it finds and pick the correct one. Note how it’s written there, and copy it the same way into your config. For example, for my city, rather than putting in 'Boulder,CO', I had to use 'Boulder,US', which is technically correct, however there are other US cities named 'Boulder' that evidently OpenWeatherMap does not know about.

• Calendar Format: Although I set the language at the config file to “de”, the calendar format is Month/Day. But I would like to have it the other way and also to have the term “Today” translated. How do I do that?

That’s having to set the proper 'language' setting in the (main) config file. Note that not all elements will be translated.

• Fast Boost: As I will build the mirror into my bathroom, I have the chance to use the electricity which is controlled by the light switch and I would save energy, when no one is in the bathroom. But therefore the boost of the Raspberry Pi 3 has to be much more fast. is ist possible to just boost the MagicMirror? Or to fasten the booth otherwise?

A Raspberry Pi run a complete operating system that will require time to boot up. There’s no 'inta-on' for that. My recommendation is to leave the rPi on at all times, and turn off the monitor. Keep in mind that a monitor will also take a few seconds to turn up, so again, no 'insta-on' for that. The fastest way possible is to leave it all on, but turn off the display output on the rPi. Then trigger it back on with a sensor. Search the forums for 'PIR sensor' …

Or maybe it’s because I’m trying to debug from the command line … as always …

Looks like Facebook is returning an ‘unsupported browser’ page when we try to fetch the data. Well aren’t they clever. Time to do some code massaging …

I have Robby’s at the moment, trying to recreate the problem.

For those of you who are having issues with your Facebook Birthdays calendar … if any of you want to PRIVATELY send me your actual link, I will stick it in my config and see what happens. Presumably it will fail the same way it is for you guys, but at least I’ll have something to test against since mine are working just fine. I don’t have a failed test case … I promise not to sell your information.

And the console error is? Or possibly it could also be in 'pm2 logs <YOUR_MM_TASK_NAME>' …

I think we have to get @MichMich or @paviro in on this. I don’t know Electron enough to know why it’s failing.

@patm189, my config is in the post above yours. I actually have 3 calendars listed that way.

If the process starts, but it stays black, there may be an error in your config which is getting it stuck. Have you looked at the console output or the log output for any messages?
