@juvesito If you are comfortable to go without destkop i would go that way.
Otherwise, both works.

@juvesito Go with Jessie.

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
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 :)

@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.

@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?

@cowboysdude No worries!
Im not sure about this one that @tbbear. So i leave that to you.

var curCon = document.createElement("div");
	curCon.classList.add("xsmall", "bright");
	curCon.innerHTML = this.translate("Currently: ") + this.translate(current.weather);
	wrapper.appendChild(curCon);

@Mykle1 And all the modules etc.
I started of migrating all of my modules and main css-changes to a custom CSS.
And now this gah, i will grab a beer after this tea. That will do it!

@cowboysdude Im reinstalling my Mirror to .2.10 through ssh. So alot of waiting. Got a fresh cup of tea. Im on IT!

@cowboysdude Haha yes! That is for sure German :)

Thanks alot for the module! Works lika a charm.

For everyone that wants to use a local image, you could use this as your url:

http://127.0.0.1:8080/modules/MMM-Profilepicture/pictures/YOURIMAGE.jpg

And as provided in the link, the image should be located in

/modules/MMM-Profilepicture/pictures/

@Reotch2
Have you tried to convert your ghost.mp4 to your native screen resolution?
I think the pi will have a hard time to do the scale conversion live.

If you dont have the software for it, i can help you out.

Check out this thread:
This reworked the module enabling him to change profiles in the Remote Control Module:
https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/1000/not-really-a-mirror-at-all-but-is-really-helpful/3?page=1

I havent have time to start using MMM-ProfileSwitcher yet.
Was thinking about doing it this weekend. I will contribute add on if i figure it out when that is done.

@cowboysdude said in MMM-NOAA - Another Weather Module:

We tried running it on the dev version of the mirror and it had lots of errors LOL
BUT that is a dev version… I’m running 2.1.0 because it runs on windows without having to do git bash windows stuff … I try running newer versions of MM but I just get all kinds of errors with MM and it won’t run so back to 2.1.0…

If I need anything I’ll let you know and I do appreciate your help!! :) Thank you!

[PS I am working on an update …changing the format of the bottom 4 day forecast ;) Shhhhh don’t tell anyone hahahahahha].

Haha i promise, i wont tell a soul lol! Looking forward for the update!
I also found out today i had excellently messed up my custom.css when trying to backup things.
So i think that that one could had unable me to adjust the wFont.

@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
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.
