@Reotch2
Make it a .mp4 with a h.264 codec.
Make a folder in your module called videos.
videoSRC: "/videos/YOURVIDEONAME.mp4",
loop: true,
You could also try:
http://127.0.0.1:8080/modules/MMM-htmlvideo/videos/YOURVIDEONAME.mp4
If that don’t work. Put it on a fileshare somewhere.
Maybe drive or dropbox could work if the share settings is public.
A
Navigate to your module folder:
§ cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Traffic
use command to pull new git from:
§ git pull
If you are experiencing the following message “your local changes to the following files would be overwritten by merge” because you have done local edits run this before (NOTE! backup the files you have edited in case you will need to pull some edits back, for exampel the CSS file if you have customized the look of the module:
§ git reset --hard
Im not sure but someone can please correct me in on this one:
Sometime you will need to install after git pull by:
§ npm install
(This also inside the module folder)
Is not needed, edited out
@cowboysdude
No worries. Im running the latest version of MM and NOAA.
There is no hurry, i have customized the css to fit my need for now 
Happy to help out if there is something you need to be tested etc.
@Reotch2
I got helped with this yesterday from Mykle and i went from 80-100% cpu usage to 2-45% cpu usage.
The biggest difference was by downgrading electron to 1.4.15.
But running MM 2.1.0 instead of 2.1.2 also made a improvement.
How to downgrade electron
Navigate to your home folder, from here delete all maps including electron. there should be two:
.electron & .electron-glpyh.
Navigate to you node-modules inside MM.
§ cd ~/MagicMirror/node_modules
Uninstall electron by
§ sudo npm uninstall electron
install electron with desired version in this case 1.4.15 by:
§ sudo npm install electron@1.4.15
Now open file manager or navigate to “~/MagicMirror/node_modules/electron” and look in package.json
Here you can confirm your version number of electron.
How to downgrade MagicMirror
If you want to downgrade your MM version you will need to make a new install.
I would suggest everyone doing this to NOT delete it BEFORE you have made a backup.
You can find MM 2.1.0 here (thanks to Mykle for providing me with link):
https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/archive/v2.1.0.zip.
Unpack the zip in you home folder, and rename it to MagicMirror
then just run npm install from the folder.
§ cd ~/MagicMirror/
§ npm install
Note: You will need to re-install electron 1.4.15 after the clean install of MM 2.1.0.
Make sure to have everything up and running before you do that.
I did run the gun and needed to redo everything twice.
@cowboysdude Haha yes! That is for sure German
@cowboysdude Im reinstalling my Mirror to .2.10 through ssh. So alot of waiting. Got a fresh cup of tea. Im on IT!
@Reotch2
Sorry that it does not seem to work.
The only thing i can think about now is the read speed of your micro SD card.
In video editing playback often is limited due to read speeds of the drive.
But here we talk about 100MB+ per second. And that is an understatement.
I would try to see if you can get html video running from a embedded source such as Youtube.
Else, if you have not tried running OMXPlayer and the PIR module as “behind” in the config i have no idea.
Im interesting in following up this project in the future, when i run out of things to incorporate in my MM.
If you decide to not follow this up anymore i would love to see a summary post what you have up and running, including scripts and such. Also a summary of what did and did not work in your research
Hi!
Im stuck on the “Gather Wather Stuff” Message. Or “Samlar väderinformation” since im running a Swedish pi.
First of thanks for sharing the module, it looks badass.
Ive been diagnosing alot without any luck but this is what ive done to confirm my config:
Ive been checking my api-key and pws with another module from RedNax67 called MMM_Wunderground.
And i can get that one to work.
I also encounter this message on re-installing the module (can’t remember if it was there on the initial install).
npm WARN mmm-noaa@1.0.0 No repository field.
This is my module config:
{
disabled: false,
module: 'MMM-NOAA',
position: 'top_right',
config: {
apiKey: "Y507ba7785XXXXXXX", // https://www.wunderground.com/weather/api select the middle plan...
useAir: false, //set to false if you do not want to use Air Quality Index
airKey: "Y507ba7785XXXXXXX", //IF you want Air Quality Index
pws: "IUHAMMAR4", // go here to find your pws: https://www.wunderground.com/wundermap
lat: "59.609900", // need this for sunrise/sunset if left blank none will show -- find them here: http://www.latlong.net/
lon: "16.544809", // need this for sunrise/sunset if left blank none will show
showClock: true, //Hides or shows clock
dformat: false, //for M/D/YYYY format, false for D/M/YYYY
showClock: true,
format: "24", // 12 or 24 hour format.. will default to 12 hour if none selected.
ampm: false, //to show AM and PM on Sunrise/Sunset time
showGreet: false, //deafult is false - to show greeting under clock and above date
name: "", // Your name
showWind: false,
showDate: false,
}
Do you have any other ideas what i can try to get it running?

@juvesito If you are comfortable to go without destkop i would go that way.
Otherwise, both works.
Any pi except Raspberry Pi Zero.
Jessie is the way to go for autoinstaller.
Raspberry pi 3 is the fastest atm (and i would by that decider the best).
However, you will have a rough time in front of you if you see installing Magic Mirror by the manual process is a heartache.
@nobita As tbear said. Also make sure your PWK is set corect.
This is the part of the config we are talking about:
apiKey: "YOUR API KEY", // https://www.wunderground.com/weather/api select the middle plan...
useAir: false, // set to false if you do not want to use Air Quality Index
airKey: "YOUR API KEY", // IF you want Air Quality Index
pws: "KNYELMIR13", // go here to find your pws: https://www.wunderground.com/wundermap
You dont need the airKey if you have it set to false. You only need this if you want the Air-data.

@Reotch2
Is you other widgets also laggy chunky?
Im thinking about the transitions on the RSS module etc.
@Mykle1 Well… You cant understand how everything works right away!
I though i needed to copy all CSS from main to custom. So i made a local backup of the Main.css instead.
I now know better! lol
@cowboysdude No worries! I also added the missing part in the Swedish translation.
Anything else i can help with?
