    • RE: Calvin and Hobbs - Adjust screen size?

      @guitartoys
      Try these settings.
      You will probably have to adjust the sizes…
      It fits my 42" TV full screen all directions…

      Custom.css:

      .MMM-CalvinAndHobbes .module-content {
              Margin-top: 10px;
              Margin-left: 10px;
              max-width: 1810px;
              max-height: 1025px;
              width: 1810px;
              height: 1025px;
              overflow: hidden;
      }
      #cahcomiccontent {
              width: 1810px;
              height: 1025px;
      }
      
      

      Config.js:

      {
          module: "MMM-CalvinAndHobbes",
          position: "middle_center",
          config: {
                 invertColors: false,
                 grayScale: false,
                 updateInterval: 7200000,
                 limitComicHeight: -1,
                 maxHeight: "98%"
                    }
          },

    • RE: Can MagicMirror run on other similarily priced hardware?

      @sdetweil
      It only runs a patched version of stretch right now. I am able to do the project I was wanting to do with it… at $55 it is a little pricey and a LOT more work to get running debian, but it is doing the job. Finally found a wireless adapter for the Libre and it is rock steady… Only thing I do not like is I can not seem to get it to boot from a usb drive has to be from sd card…
      Fun little learning experience…

    • RE: SBC boards that work well besides Raspberry pi 3, 4 or 5

      @sdetweil
      Ah, I actully have one of those, I was given.
      Supposedly didn’t work just had a failed ssd in it.
      replaced that and loaded win 11, works fine.
      Maybe I should set it up to run some form of linux.
      I think I will, thanks for the Idea…

      @sdetweil
      Thank you Sam,
      That fixed my issue, and let me use the default clock files…
      Cool thing is with the old setting in the Custom.css file I can change the colon : color between the numbers a different color.
      Fun Fun Fun.

      @sdetweil
      Just played with Zorin, It is faster by far than windows 11.
      I think in time I could make it a daily useful OS.
      We will see in time.
      Caved, and bought a Pi4 4gb to play with these different modules…

      @robertybob
      I missed the part about AI… I am old and do not understand AI crap, nor do I care to learn about it…

      So I am just going to remove the module and call it a day.
      Thanks so much for your super helpful words…

      @fischi87
      Thank you for your help.
      This is beyond my current abilities…
      I made a 5 second mp4 file that plays in vlc just fine but will not work with the module… Like i told the fella above, I think this is above my abilities. Looks like a fun module…

      I will close this as solved.
      I am not capable.

    • RE: Choosing a RPi model

      @Gherry
      Just went through this myself.
      I ended up with a Pi 4 4gb.
      I decided on it because I already have most things like fans NVME boards, power supplies and cases for the Pi4’s.
      The Pi 5s take different hats and power supplies and even cases… Which added substantial cost to the Pi5’s.

      @robertybob
      I have no green screen or video camera. Suppose I could use my phone.
      But the few I have tried making do not work with the module…
      I was hoping someone could point me to a link to download one from the movie.
      I really do not want one of myself or my dogs.
      I was hoping for one, so it would loook like the ones in the movie. Thatt would make my wife very happy.

      Happy wife = happy life…

      Anyone else have MMM-RAIN-MAP all the sudden stop working?
      It actually locked up my MM . OR do I have to many modules running under MMM-pages? Approximately 48.

    • MMM-MovingPortrait

      How do I go about getting a wizard.mp4 for the module?
      I do not have the equipment to make one of myself.
      I would like to have one of Harry Potter or Dumbeldor or Miany.
      Not sure how to spell them, just know what my wife says she likes…
      Any help would be appreciated.
      Maybe some place I can download a premade mp4
      I tried a couple I found on line but they will not work.
      Do they have to be under a certain size?

      Had not thought about using laptop with dead screen to run MM or other OS on.
      I have one I could work with, to try out different OS’s.
