I just wanted to share with you this video of transparent displays from Samsung. I haven’t seen any in real life yet, but those look really impressive. This would make a MagicMirror even more magical 💸💸💸

With the new v3.1.0 release, MMM-RAIN-MAP gets two new features:

You can now choose LibreWXR (https://librewxr.net/) as an alternative provider, which can be useful in regions with limited RainViewer coverage. You can even host it yourself :)
A new opacity option makes it possible to adjust the radar layer, especially when using a dark map theme. @mdiorio Thanks for the suggestion!

I didn’t want to start a separate thread for this, but I didn’t want to leave it unmentioned here in the forum either 🙂 The website has undergone a major modernization. Mainly technical changes under the hood and the design has been retained except for a few details.

But there are also a few things that regular users of the site might notice: For example there is now a dark mode, responsiveness and accessibility have been improved, there is a favicon, an animated GIF showing the MagicMirror interface and faster loading times.

@karsten13 said in Automatic checking of all MagicMirror² modules:

as most modules are hosted on github: You can get such info’s over their api.

Wow. That’s really nice! There are certainly some things that can be put to good use.

After you showed me the examples, I tinkered a bit with a simple frontend (without dependencies): check it out. I just have to fill it with real data.

Many changes have been made to the official module list since my last overview on December 12. I have created a new overview for these changes. Since not everyone regularly follows the changes to the list, such a list may be helpful for some of you.

This is the second post like this. I don’t know yet if I will create further in the future and even maybe automate the process a bit. I am quite up to date with the changes as I am working on a new unofficial module list which is based on the official list.

These are the changes from 12th December 2023 to 29th January 2024. The list may be incomplete, as some parts required manual work.

Help request

Can someone with an Meteoblue API key tell whether module MMM-meteoblueCurrent still works?

MMM-page-indicator has been updated. The main change is that there are new classes that make it easier to customize the styling of the indicators and a new styling section in the README that describes some styling examples. Like this:

or this:

So if you use MMM-page-indicator, check it out 😀

The styling was also possible before, but was a little more complicated and the examples certainly help to develop your own cool styles.

Thanks to @mumblebaj for getting this rolling!

I made some progress: https://kristjanesperanto.github.io/MagicMirror-3rd-Party-Modules/

There’s still a lot on the to-do list and some things aren’t working quite smoothly yet. But the website is now filled with data from all modules from the wiki.

When changes are made in the wiki, it doesn’t take much effort to update the data in this project - I just have to run a few scripts. Furthermore, no manual work is necessary.

Hello everyone!

Have you ever wondered what the most popular MagicMirror² modules are? Until now it wasn’t easy to find out. Recently, I added a new sorting feature to the new module list I am working on. It allows you to sort by GitHub stars! So now it’s easier than ever to find out which modules are the community’s favorites 😀

At the moment the top ten modules are:

MMM-Remote-Control (476 stars)
mmpm (168 stars)
MMM-Screencast (160 stars)
MMM-GooglePhotos (154 stars)
MMM-Todoist (147 stars)
MMM-Traffic (139 stars)
MMM-BackgroundSlideshow (130 stars)
MMM-pages (102 stars)
MMM-ModuleScheduler (96 stars)
WallberryTheme (94 stars)

Why is it important to star modules? Starring modules on GitHub is a great way to show your appreciation for the developers’ hard work. It also helps other users find popular modules.

How can I star a module? To star a module, simply go to the module’s GitHub page and click the “Star” button.

I encourage you to star all the modules you use and appreciate ⭐ And don’t forget to give the MagicMirror project itself a star! 🙃

I hope this new sorting option helps you find the perfect modules for your MagicMirror² setup!

Your feedback is welcome: Would you have expected these modules to be in the top 10? Which modules are not in the top 10 and should get more stars in your opinion?

KristjanESPERANTO

@chrisfr1976 Nice work! Since there are much older unresponded Pull Requests, I suggest to replace the original module with your fork on the module list. If the upstream project gets active again, we can undo that change in the list. What do you think?

KristjanESPERANTO

@MMRIZE Since more than one user is using MMM-AnotherNewsFeed, would it make sense to add it to the list of 3rd party modules? :slightly_smiling_face:

KristjanESPERANTO

@canlio Yes, it would be great if you added your research findings there; others will benefit from them later :)

KristjanESPERANTO

Did you check the wiki page: https://github.com/MagicMirrorOrg/MagicMirror/wiki/Two-way-Mirror-Vendors ?

KristjanESPERANTO

@p1lspeda Thanks for the update! Could you share your current MMM-pages config and the console messages from startup until you switch pages manually?

KristjanESPERANTO

@manu85340 Hi, that message comes from YouTube itself, so your Electron settings are probably fine. Please make sure no DNS filter (e.g. Pi-hole or AdGuard Home) is active, since the video only plays for me once Pi-hole is switched off. Then try this config:

{
  module: "MMM-ISS-Live",
  position: "top_left",
  config: {
    url: "https://youtu.be/fO9e9jnhYK8"
  }
},

If you use a different url at the moment, it may be a stream whose owner disabled embedding. Does the video play with this one?

KristjanESPERANTO

@p1lspeda Could you share the first error shown in the browser console? Where exactly does Hafas display UNDEFINED, and is stationName set?

Which versions of MMM-pages, MMM-PublicTransportHafas and Node.js are you running?

Which MMM-Wallpaper module are you using: kolbyjack’s or jupadin’s?

KristjanESPERANTO

MMM-ISS-Live still works on my setup (when I disable my pihole).

Your shared config parts are a mess. units appears twice in your config; if those curly quotes are in the actual file, please replace them with straight quotes.

sudo apt install -y libvlc-dev libvlccore-dev vlc

Why did you think installing this helps?

Since this isn’t related to MMM-OneCallWeather, please open a separate forum topic or a GitHub issue for MMM-ISS-Live and include the exact player error.

KristjanESPERANTO

Could you share a screenshot? Are all weather icons stretched, or only some? Could you temporarily disable your custom CSS and check whether the icons are still stretched?

KristjanESPERANTO

I don’t see a solution in the default module either, but I’m preparing a PR to improve the error message. The API key thing is a bit misleading.

KristjanESPERANTO

@i-xul Great! One more local provider without an API key! It will be in the next release :)
