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…

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

@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

@sean
thanks for the reply.
I don’t use pm2, i’m starting the mirror with “DISPLAY=:0 npm start”

To be sure i tryed the “pm2 stop mm” but like suspected i’m getting the “bash: pm2: opdracht niet gevonden” message.

I got the same problem.

Before the update i had a MM with three extra modules, namely:
MMM-AssistantMk2
MMM-NotificationTrigger
MMM-Hotword

I also had teamviewer installed.
Everything worked fine.
I had the update message an i did the git pull && npm install

Didn’t had any updates during the update.
After the update i tried to start the mirror the normal way and i got the error like it’s mentiont at the beginning of this topic.

What’s causing this and how to correct it?

Hello,

I’ve installed MagicMirror and added MMM-AssistantMk2, MMM-Hotword and MMM-NotificationTrigger.
I also had some errors with nodejs and electron.

After this i looked for a way to get the errors out. My idea was to install rasbian and then install nodejs and electron.

What version do i need? i could install 8, 9 or 10, but what is the best version.

Further after installing the MMM modules i’m getting errors and need to rebuild the module. This also gives errors, errors with electron.

How can i install or update electron?

So the idea is:

• Install rasbian

• Install nodejs (right version)

• Install electron (so install doesn’t give errors)

• Install MagicMirror

• Install MMM-Assistant, MMM-Hotword, MMM-NotificationTrigger

So how can i prepare my rasbian for installing MagicMirror, MMM-AssistantMk2, MMM-Hotword, MMM-NotificationTrigger without errors?

@sean @teitlebot
i’m using a cheap chinese usb mic :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

@sean
Thanks for the reply.
I was scared of something like that. After a clean raspbian image i just installed MagicMirror and after that MMM-AssistantMK2, MMM-Hotword and MMM-TriggerNotification (with all the nmp rebuild errors). I’ve uninstalled the compleet LibreOffice and game packets wich come by default with raspbian.

I allready made a .asoundrc file like you can find around the internet.
aplay && arecord work fine without glitches.

Result .asoundrc

  capture.pcm "mic"

}

}

What would you suggest doing now? I’m a little stuck now, due to my lack of knowledge of Linux.

I’ve installed MMM-AssistantMk2 with MMM-Hotword and MMM-NotificationTrigger.
Everything works fine except for the return audio.
It stutters and i’m getting the idea that it isn’t procest quick eneough.

Am i the only one with this problem and if not does somebody have the solution?

Could you give more detail about what hardware you used, type of tv, what did you connect, resolderd, etc.
How did you build it, etc.

What’s the best screen type. On the forum you are a lot of mirrors where they got problems with bleeding.
In other words you can see the screen contours through the mirror.
What’s the best specs combination, screen type and glass, etc. So you can’t see the screen through the mirror but only the text pictures you want to show?

Super build ecspecialy the thin metal bezel and the total thickness of 2.5cm
Could you post More building pictures and details. I’m looking for something to build like yours 😃

Hello,

I’m looking for a mirror, but during that search i stumbed on semi transparant foil.

Does somebody used this foil?

It’s cheaper and u can make a thinner smart mirror with it. The glass it self is allready 6mm in the case of foil u can use a thinner glass combined with a thin monitor…
