Re: 75" (180x60cm) Standing Mirror with dual screens

I’d would be a great addon to mm if there was a native option for dual or triple monitors.
This to make a large mirror or a mirror with screens on different places.
Or by running it on a Docker platform and then run a instance per screen…

@cyberdie
What universal board do you have and where did you buy it?

Can someone give a detailed step-by-step manual howto use devices for example a esp32cam or esp with a pir in magicmirror. Especially when you have MM installed on something else then a Pi?

This so you can use a PIR or cam on an other location, for example the frontdoor, where’s the MM is in the hallway?

@sdetweil
yeah i’ve search but didn’t find a sollution.
Do you have any idea?

I’ve done a clean MM install that worked.
After this i installed a module todo facial-recognition with the MMM-Face-Reco-DNN module.
The problem doesn’t seem to be in the module but in MM and the picamera files escpecially the libmmal file. (https://forums.raspberrypi.com/viewtopic.php?t=324283)
Also at first the module starts good and without problems. At the moment it tries to get a picture or video the error occures.

The camera does work:

When i start the mirror this error occures when it tries to use the libmmal.so file:

Some OS and version data:

How can i get this to work?
How can install the mmal libaries?

First of all the MagicMirror is a super project!!

Due to the limited resources of a Pi it would be great that there was a script so you could install it on a Pi with no desktop version. So all the fuzz is skipped.
Or a script that later removes al unnecessary programs and files.
Preferable the first option is this possible or could this be developed?

@sdetweil
Oh oke. But on windows you can also expand the desktop en have some things start on one en other thongs on the second screen…
To bad that you have to drag them this would be one of the best addons for MMM

Maybe a noobish question but why isn’t possible to run magicmirror and display it over 2 screens.
So that you can say like module x on display 1 and module y on display 2 for example through a JS class??

@sean
Your comment about multiple executions of mm got me thinking.
before the update i started the mirror. “pm2” didn’t worked and the mirror was shutdown, through ctrl+c.

So i did a restart of the pi and… now it works :-D

So the sollution (for me in this case) was restarting the pi, so it forgets the instance of mm :-D
