Once your have your setup completed, to what you want. You can use Win32Diskimager to make a .img file that you can reinstall with balenaetcher or RaspberryPiImager. I went to USB devices or NVMe drives.
I use Sam’s backup mainly to save my config.js and custom.css files so I never loose the main settings to the Current MM I have running. The list of modules helps too.
I also keep a module folder backup BACKUP is so critical if you are using sd cards.

I use Tapo they are cheap too. They are RTSP able and I use them with MMM-MPlayer on a dedicated PI and one camera pops up on my main PI with the other 50 + modules using Sams pages module. They are also PTZ camera’s I think I paid 16 for the cheapest one and like 38 for the most expensive one. I have 3 of them and 5 Wyze cameras but only 3 that are RTSP able.
Just my 2 cents…

@briantogo
I use MMM-MPlayerit will let you us rtsp if your nest camera supports that.
Not my module, just one of 50 + I use on my mirror.

Wowser,
IT WORKS, SO FAR.

Are we going to be able to get NFL scores ect with MMM-NFL this year?

@evroom
You are correct sir,
I had done a git pull and forgot about it on all modules.
Yours updated me to 2.0 version and my config was from the 1.0 version.
Fixed me right up.
Thanks for your help.
Really appreciated.

@evroom
Version 2
I will reload it and try again.
Thanks for the information.

Anyone else having trouble with MMM-MPlayer?
All the sudden I can not get it to see my camera’s, 7 of them and I have tested they all work in VLC on my laptop… I know its kind of like comparing apples to oranges.
Any Ideas. Here are How i install it.
In the home directory /home/pi
sudo apt install -y mplayer
Then I do in ~MagicMirror/modules
git clone https://github.com/evroom/MMM-MPlayer.git
Then in my Config.js

		{
				module: "MMM-MPlayer",
//		        		disabled: true,
				position: "top_left",
				header: "",
				config: {
					useTwoWindows: false,  //true,
					layout: "row",
					monitorAspect: 0,
					rotate: -1,
					windowSize: { width: 1860, height: 920 },
					windowPosition: { x: 5, y: 5 },
					streamInterval: 20000,
				streams: {
						window1: [
							"rtsp://admin1:admin1@192.168.1.40:554/stream1",
							"rtsp://admin1:admin1@192.168.1.42:554/stream1",
						],
				}
			}
		},

Help me I have fallen down a rabbit hole I think…
Raspberry Pi 4 w 4gb ram
Bookworm fully updated.
MagicMirror latest version 2.32 I think.it is.

PS:
It was working on this exact setup 3 days ago, but after it came backup after pm2 stop @9pm and pm2 restart @7am, it did not work… It does it automatically, happens every day.

@sdetweil
What do you mean by using a parm?
Like apply/MM ?

@sdetweil said in MagicMirror² installation and setup scripts:

I thought as much, about the renaming it back to MagicMirror, upgrade and put it back to MM.
I have moved the mm.sh out to the home/pi directory, and fixed it to see the correct directory. Then I fixed the mm.json to point to the mm.sh in home directory.
That way I can only have to fix the mm.sh each time.
Simple enough
Don’t think about it too much… It was just a thought…
