Welcome to the Forum.

You can set crontab -e to stop mm .
Here is the lines from my crontab -e

# Turn off display Sunday - Thursday at 21h00
00 21 * * 0-4 /usr/local/bin/pm2 stop all
# Turn off display Friday - Saturday at 21h00
00 21 * * 5,6 /usr/local/bin/pm2 stop all
# Turn on screen Monday - Friday at 6h45
45 06 * * 1-5 /usr/local/bin/pm2 start mm
# Turn on screen Saturday - Sunday at 7h30
30 07 * * 6,0 /usr/local/bin/pm2 start mm

My screen has no background and is black in color, then I set my bar to black with gray letters. That way when MM is not running the screen is really dark .
works pretty well for night time. Your mileage may vary…

@cpcode
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…

@sdetweil
Hey Sam,
on your install and update scripts is there a way to change the directory for installation? IE I would like to change the MagicMirror folder to MM on one pi
and CM on another. Just curious. I pulled down your raspberry.sh and replaced everything MagicMirror with MM and it installed but then I tried a git pull and it did not work. I did have to change the mm.sh in the installers directory, to look at MM instead of MagicMirror… then do a pm2 delete all and a pm2 start mm.sh then pm2 save and it works now… Just playing around, but got me to thinking. NOT A GOOD THING sometimes… LOL

@almightyyoshi
try
symbol: false,
or maybe it’s
symbol: null,
Not sure if that will work not able to test

@chrisfr1976
Cool I will chec k it out sooner or later.

@chrisfr1976
How do I change it to US currency?

@mischag
So are you trying to change things by going into MM/modules/MMM-Chores/data.json and editing it? I just tried that and it does not work.
I think it is because the module assigns each grouping a specific ID that way beyond my paygrade… Wish I could be of more help…
So are you accessing it remotely i.E. from a different network?
Hope you figure it out…

@mischag
This is what I get when I login to MMMChores admin
http://192.168.1.223:5003
https doesn’t work for me. I don’t have it setup to work in my config.js.
Are you trying to reach it from work or from home and it is in another building???

@sdetweil
Ok, I get it now… I just need to go in and resize that logo.png file I am using and it should get rid of the slide, Correct…

@rkorell
@sdetweil
Never mind I am stupid.
I figured out that I had removed several sections of the config file that was in his readme. Then went and re numbered the lines.
Which really upset the apple cart.
I did have to change the parts you said @rkorell.
But the rest was my doing. Compare the first Config i posted and this one and you will see what I did.
