    • RE: FireTV or Android TV as MM client

      @OldSunGuy

      Thanks again. I did look into the hardware specs and it seems to run a Amlogic S905D3G (4x ARM Cortex-A55 @ 1.9 GHz). so it really is not much better than the device I currently use which makes me doubt if it can handle the animations.

      As for the font size, it is a little more complicated than that.

      • Zoom out is not possible (seems to already be at the min)
      • Changing font size works but then line size, etc, also needs to be adjusted to fix it all, so a little more involved.
      • If I fix it for this, then I will most likely have issues with it on normal displays (e.g. using rpi as a client). This is not meant to be the only client.

      Regarding the last point, is it possible to serve different CSS based on user agent string?

      @kayakbabe Thanks. this is good advice. I am hoping the MM core CSS already does this and it is only my custom CSS I have to worry about, but will find out soon. Waiting on my Chromecast with GoogleTV to arrive.

      This turned out to be simpler than I thought. Let me know if you run into issues with it since i pushed without doing much negative testing.

      FYI,
      there are 3 new properties now:

      • mode: you need to set this to ‘album’
      • albumId: if you want to use this instead of the name
      • albumName: if you want to use this instead of the id

      If you provide both, albumId will be used.

      @venomousviper27 That is a great idea. I took a look at the API and that is very possible, but it will take me a little a bit to add this.

      I will post back here when I’ve added that capability.

      MMM-ImmichSlideShow

      A module based on MMM-BackgroundSlideshow to show images from Immich on your MagicMirror. The module selects the daily memory lane photos (no video) for the past 7 (default value) days and displays them on your magic mirror.

      This was created quickly for personal use but i hope you find it useful.

      @sdetweil this is different.

      chromecast itself has the HDMI wire attached and I can watch TV shows in 4K, however when I open a web browser (Fully Kiosk Browser) , it is at 1080. I guess it could be the app, but I got the same results with different browsers.

    • RE: FireTV or Android TV as MM client

      So it turned out to be very easy.

      Fully kiosk browser told me that the resolution is 1920 x 1080 even on a 4K TV so I just had to change the body. For some reason setting it to 100% causes issues but. this works and nothing else needs to change.

      @media screen and (max-width: 1920px) {
      body {
      height: 1080px;
      width: 1920px;
      }
      }

      @OldSunGuy Thanks.

      I played with my setup some more and realized that it is the animation in MMM-Background that was causing most of my issues. Once i stopped that, it seems to work fine with the exception of the fonts being too big. Did you run into that latter issue as well?

      Also took a look at Chromecast with GoogleTV. Looks like a better alternative to an official device that may last longer. I could not find specs on it, but I hope it can handle the animations.

      TV Bro is also good but just in case you are interested, I was looking at Fully Kiosk Browser since it is also controllable from Home Assistant although i have not looked into it just yet.

    • FireTV or Android TV as MM client

      I want to run the MM server on my PC and use FireTV or Android TV connected to my TV to display it. So far I tried getting a cheapo Android TV off of amazon and use Chrome to display MM but the experience is very bad. The Text is way too big (sure I may be able to fix with CSS) and the refresh/layout is just not right.

      is Fire TV Stick 4K Max a better option?
      is there a way to do this on the Roku 4K sticks?
      Has anyone done this before?

      The ultimate goal is to use Fully Kiosk Browser so it displays in full screen but I thought FireTV maybe too locked down and the Android TV boxes I tried are not good at all.

      Any suggestions?

      Background: given that rpi is hard to find and if found 3x the price, I want to use go down this route. Also casting is not an option I am looking at.

      Thanks
