So I’m finally building the mirror I’m gifting next Sat and need to change display to portrait. The threads I’ve seen have been on older versions of the software. Has anything changed since the new version? What’s the easiest way to do this?
I’m using a 3b+.
I read something about MMM-RemoteControl being wonky if you do this. Any help for clueless dude would be awesome
@wdmark I “bugged” people when I couldn’t figure things out. Then you start to know what to look for. I am picking up my one way mirror tomorrow and will build in the next week or so. Just make sure you have a good working backup before trying to install a new module or changing the configuration of one you have working. It allows you to see what was working and prevents you from pulling your hair out.
I was a complete beginner when I started working on my mirror. I watched a bunch of youtube videos, skipping the ones dedicated to building frames, and learned about installation. There is an asian woman on youtube who does a tutorial walking through the installation of the magic mirror and its modules. It wasn’t perfect but it helped me learn.
Read everything you can. Look at the stuff on reddit. Read this forum. Understand the problems people went through and bookmark pages that seem interesting to you. Learn from people’s mistakes. Ask questions. Experiment and get frustrated when it doesn’t work. Read code carefully as a slight deviation at all will mess things up. Ask questions, have fun. Use the search feature. Ask questions.
@Stef my guess is that it’s something with the Spotify api that you set up. If you are seeing the logo but it’s not recognizing when you play music to me it’s a config issue with Spotify or the form thing from the module owner that isn’t right. Was pretty easy to set up. Do a search on the board too. I know there is a multi page thread elsewhere
if you are talking about under the header, I believe the only way to get rid of the line is to get rid of the header in the config file for example the line under My Weather would be removed by getting rid of the header in the config file, but from my understanding you would also lose the words my weather
Mine works fine. Are you a premium member?
@bhepler ok thanks. The first one I am giving away is a college student thats why dataplicity seems like the way to go for me. Hopefully it works
@bhepler I have no idea at this point if it works, I just didn’t want to spend cash for this. In no way was I trying to be critical of your write up. Super detailed and if I had a reason to use a cloud provider or had a bunch to administer this would be perfect for me.
My apologies if I came across any other way.
