@Ronald @plainbroke @BKeyport (or any others)
Do you guys still have an interest in this issue? (RTSP implements on MM).

I build up a simple module, and It looks to be working, but my Home IP cams don’t support long-live RTSP streaming (Because it is not wire-powered, thus to protect from battery draining, the feature has limited.), And at this moment, I don’t have any RPI to test. (I tested this module on Mac, VIM3(Ubuntu) but not on RPI.

So, I need the help of a real-world test. Anyone who has interests and has RTSP-streamable cams, Give me DM, please. (in this forum or eouia0819@ gmail. com)

If the size is around 14", I recommend purchasing a laptop repair LCD Panel from AliExpress.
If you purchase a 14" - 17" laptop repair Panel together with the Control Board;

Example

PROS

1. Since only the LCD panel is cleanly separated, there is no hassle when making a MagicMirror frame, and especially, there is no risk of damage due to carelessness when disassembling a ready-made monitor.

2. The Control Board and the buttons connected to it are also cleanly separated, so it is easy to place when making a frame.

3. Unlike general desktop monitors, the power supply is simply supplied with 12V DC (5V depending on the model), so there is no need to build an unnecessarily large and heat-generating power supply for general monitors into the MagicMirror.

4. The panel itself is very thin and the board is also thin, so it is suitable for making a thin and ultra-thin MagicMirror.

CONS

• It is slightly more expensive than purchasing a general desktop monitor, but it usually costs around 100EUR/100USD. It is easy to get. Even if you don’t go through a Chinese distributor like AliExpress, you can get it on Amazon for a slightly higher price.

You need ‘request’ module. It was deprecated from MM, but your quote of the day module is depending on it.

• the best thing is to request module developers fixing it.
• you can install ‘request’ module by yourself
  Go to quote of day module directory then;

npm install request

@UncleRoger said in [MMM-MailMessage] Send messages to your MagicMirror via e-mail:

I did the card thing per the template

It doesn’t work for some time.

By the way, I’ll provide equivalent CX3 module to alternate this module some day(I hope so…)

@muhsintt said in Wrap event title MMM-CalendarExt3:

Re: MMM-CalendarExt3

Hello,

Can you share a CSS or Node.js script that that wraps event titles into 2 or more lines when it does not fit in the cell?

Thanks very much.

I don’t agree that kind of wrapped multi-lines are useful.

Because it’s ugly and wastes space(unless using a 4K screen), it is not easy to glance at, and it is hard to recognise events. Just two-line wrapping may not be sufficient to display long titles. (How about 3 lines? Or 4 lines? no ends…)
So, I intentionally designed this module like the current one looks. It is an old legacy concept from MMM-CalendarExt, (and MMM-CalendarExt2, …) All other major calendar applications on desktop or mobile keep the one-liner in month-type view. (Google Calendar, Apple calendar, MS Outlook, Fantastical, …)

Anyway, usually, MM is regarded as just a dashboard to glance at, not a Franklin organizer.

Even though 2liners could be possible with some tricks(I tried once), technically, It needs a ton of heavy CSS and JS tweaks. If you are not an expert, you probably ruin the whole look.

I totally understand this ellipsed title may not be enough to read. What I suggest alternately are;

• Use colour and symbols to distinguish some events.
• Use abbreviations to shorten long titles.
  (For above two approaches, you can handle events with prepared handlers of this module)
• Shorten time format. (22 is better than 10:00 PM)
• Use popover feature to see details of the event. (When your MM device supports touch/click)
• Use other sidekick modules to look for details, like MMM-CalendarExt3Agenda, Or the default calendar module.

@sdetweil @Manino
Maybe your 3 calendars might have tons of events(at least 10) since long long ago time(at least 1 year).
Past events might be too many, so all of the quota for broadcasting was already consumed by the older events.
To test it, remove 3 calendars, try ‘us-holiday’ calendar of the default config example.

If so, check maximumNumberOfDays and maximumEntries of the default calendar module.

I think it is not the bug of that module but unexpected behaviour. Generally, for past events, People will regard newer events than older events as more important. But broadcasting of this calendar module contains older events prior to newer ones.

The center position is the weirdest thing of MM. The width of center is decided by this code;

.region.top.center,
.region.bottom.center {
  left: 50%;
  transform: translateX(-50%);
}

This code looks so intuitive, but not so really. It is calculated and applied after rendering, so that makes some issues;

Anyway, this code would be a help for what you want;

.region.left {
  width: 50%;
  background-color: rgba(255,0,0, 0.2); /* to check how it shows visibly; remove this line later. */
}

.region.right {
  width: 50%;
  background-color: rgba(0,255,0, 0.2); /* to check how it shows visibly; remove this line later. */
}

.region.center {
  display:none;
}

By the way, current structure of MM’s positioning becomes a bit old and stubborn legacy.(almost 7 or 8 years old) Maybe we need to progress with more modern techs.

@UncleRoger

1. About the look of the module to mimic the original calendar module;
   Sorry, it can’t. This module is an alternative view of your events listing, not a replacement. If you need only the same look as the original calendar, just use the original.

2. About the working with MMM-Pages.
   MMM-Pages is a good, reliable module, though it doesn’t consider the multi-instance of the module. So when you need multi-instances and want to show/hide on different pages, it cannot work as expected. Try other paging/screen control module. (e.g. I recommend MMM-Scenes2 with shame.)

My mistake. You can assign class name in MMM-Pages settings. (Thanks @sdetweil )
