    • RE: Need help on monitor power

      @ashishtank I use MMM-Networkscanner and control my screen via that. If it does not detect my device residents then it powers the monitor off and when the device is detected on the network then it powers the monitor on. That way when I go out it powers the monitor off automatically and powers it on when I am back home.

    • Having trouble with screen on and off? Here are some tips that could help

      Hey guys,

      Just a little note for for those who are struggling.

      I have recently upgraded from my RPi 3B+ to RPi 5 4GB. MM has been running fine for a while now and all my modules are running sweet.

      One thing I have been struggling with was getting the Pi to shut off the output at night and then on again in the morning. The old way, vcgencmd display_power 0 and vcgencmd display_power 1 does not work on the RPi5.

      In order to get things working again, and after a lot of research I have managed to get this working now. Below are 2 scripts that I have which are called from crontab at specified times.

      You have to ensure that both of the below scripts are executeable. To do this you need to run the following command. chmod +x mon.sh mof.sh from the command prompt.

      mof.sh - Monitor Off.
      Create a file: nano mof.sh and add the below.

      #!/bin/bash
      export WAYLAND_DISPLAY=wayland-1
      export XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/run/user/1000
      /usr/bin/wlr-randr --output HDMI-A-1 --off
      

      Explanation

      • Declare a variable for WAYLAND_DISPLAY
      • Declare a variable for XDG_RUNTIME_DISPLAY (I had an issue with this and only found recently that I needed to declare this as well in the script)
      • Execute the wlr-randr command to turn off the display

      mon.sh - Monitor On
      Create a file: nano mon.sh and add the below to it.

      #!/bin/bash
      export WAYLAND_DISPLAY=wayland-1
      export XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/run/user/1000
      /usr/bin/wlr-randr --output HDMI-A-1 --on --mode 1920x1080@60Hz --transform 270
      

      Explanation

      • Declare a variable for WAYLAND_DISPLAY
      • Declare a variable for XDG_RUNTIME_DISPLAY (I had an issue with this and only found that I needed to declare this as well in the script)
      • Execute the wlr-randr command to turn on the display
      • lI have to supply options to this command as I needed to ensure that when the monitor is turned on, it has the same pixilation and rotation etc. This is achieved by passing --mode 1929x1080@60Hz and to ensure it is flipped 90 degrees I pass the option --transform 270.

      To obtain your current screen settings you run wlr-randr from the command prompt and you will be shown the current settings for your mirror. You can then use those values and substitute them for the values above if yours is different. This will also confirm if your monitor is HDMI-A-1 or if it is called something else.

      Crontab
      To instantiate a crontab you do crontab -e from the command line.
      Add the following entries at the bottom of the file.

      00 06 * * * /home/pi/mon.sh >> /home/pi/mon.log 2>&1
      00 21 * * * /home/pi/mof.sh >> /home/pi/mof.log 2>&1
      

      From the above, it will turn the output on at 6am and turn it off at 9pm.

      Hope this helps somebody.

    • RE: MMM-Reddit "No valid posts to display"

      @sdetweil I had a look and made some changes to the module and it is working. Created a PR but don’t know if the owner would accept as it has been 3 to 5 years since he last made any changes.

      Guys can use the below if they want:

      Version 1.0.1
      initial

      Version 1.0.2
      Added option to filter by Leagues.

      Upcoming Features

      • Filter MRU by Leagues

      Version 1.1.0

      • Have updated the module to add a second option of API-SPORT.

      • API-Sports require an API-KEY so user must register for an API-KEY. API-KEY allows for 100 free requests per day.

      • Module still supports free option. This can be toggled between free and apiSport by using the collectionType.

      • Have made updates to the free table displays.

      Version 1.1.2
      Feature has now been tested and merged to live
      Still in testing. Release in the next day or two.

      • Add an autoUpdate option which allows the application to manage the updateInterval. This will let the application update as per the updateInterval Sunday to Friday, i.e. if updateInterval has been set to update hourly, it will update Sunday to Friday hourly but on Saturdays it will update every 30 minutes. As Saturdays are generally game day, it is best to update half-hourly to get a refreshed score for current games.

      Version 1.1.3
      Added translations for fr and en. PR’s welcome for any other language support required

      Version 1.1.5

      • Update country flags with team club flags for URC 2025.

    • RE: mumblebaj MMM-WOTD fonts

      @plainbroke You can target the selectors specifically in your custom.css like this:

      #wotd-we {
        color: orange;
        font-size: 50px;
      }

    • RE: CALL FOR TESTERS: New install script

      @drdeath I think what the guys were saying or are trying to say, is that for the standard MM user, looking at the script and seeing “coded” code they may be hesitant to test the script. Although it can easily be decoded with echo 'base64 string' | base64 -d which would reveal the coded strings, the normal user does not know this.

      It does make the script so much smaller but for a newb looking at that would scare them away.

      Just my 2pence.

      Original module can be found here.

      I have submitted a PR but do not know if the owner will accept as the module was last updated 7 years ago.

      @Niggich said in MMM-WOTD:

      not working with more pages and server mode

      Not sure I understand the above.

      The module works fine, works with MMM-pages and in Container (server only mode) I have tested this.

      Can you check in the logs if you see any errors in the logs and advise?

      @sdetweil You provide your own list of modules and config alongside your compose and it all gets imported into the container. No need to go fiddle in the container itself.

    • RE: MagicMirror Container

      @KristjanESPERANTO Well, I wanted to see how it works? 😉 Wanted to build one that was preloaded with my own modules for my own use but then rethought the design a bit and see if I could build a generic one based on trixie. So yeah, just pure curiosity and to see if I could…🤣

    • MagicMirror Container

      Hi,

      Firstly, I know there are a few out there and by far the one from @karsten13 seems to be the best and most well maintained out there.

      I have created my container based on Debian Trixie and MMv2.31.0.

      I am looking for testers to see if I have missed anything or if there is room for improvements. I have only been able to test this on my Windows laptop, don’t have a spare RPi at the moment to test this with.

      All instructions can be found here mumblebaj/magicmirror:latest

      Contributions are most welcome.

      Thanks

      @Nage1951 ChatGPT has been around for a while now. There is even a module built on it already. Checkout the 3rd party modules list, hamburger menu on top. Not sure if it still works but it is there.
