Your issue is that VLC on the Pi 4 renders video in a separate window by default, ignoring the MagicMirror module position. To fix it, set pixel dimensions instead of percentages and add localPlayerArgs: ‘–no-video-on-top --width=640 --height=360’ so VLC respects the module container.
Example:
position: "top_center",
moduleWidth: 640,
moduleHeight: 360,
localPlayer: 'vlc',
localPlayerArgs: '--no-video-on-top --width=640 --height=360'
Anyone using Google Fit or Fitbit modules to display step counter or any health related display on magic mirror?
I see couple of modules for Fitbit and Google Fit but are archived many years ago. Any suggestions would be appreciated
There’s no solid, maintained MagicMirror module for Google Fit anymore—most broke due to API/auth changes and are abandoned.
Thanks for your suggestion.
Hello,
I know there have been a lot of questions about dynamic calendars, but I wanted to ask again based on what I’ve found. From my research, it seems like MagicMirror usually functions only as a display and doesn’t natively support input (even with some third-party modules). Has anyone managed to set up a system where you can add events directly to Google Calendar?
Also, I’m trying to get my weather forecast to display horizontally across the week instead of vertically. I’m currently using the Pirate Sky Forecast module (which I really like), but it only seems to support a vertical layout. Does anyone have suggestions for achieving a horizontal view? I’d prefer to avoid paying for an API key, so I’m open to alternatives that fit that requirement.
