@shbatm, did you had a chance to look into this? Thanks for an update.

@shbatm Thanks. Much appreciated. No urgent need. Looking forward to your reply.

I tried both. GUI and command line. Both gave the same error message. I even tried a 2nd remote without success. Same error message.

Hello guys,

I cant get the remote connected to the R3B+. I stuck. Searching the web like cracy since yetserday evening with no result.

It seems the pairing fails bc of the message “ServicesResolved: no”

Any clue whats missing?

@maros Thanks for jumping in. I am using MMM-Wallpaper already.

Its about a good source for curated art/pictures to show.

I found Saatchiart, Artspace, Magnum Photos, Albertina, but was not able to find a plugin which pulls comparable sources.

Hi guys,

There are commercial products out there which show currated art on a magicmirror like picture frame (glas instead of mirror).

Canvia
https://palacio.life

Framen
http://www.myframen.com

Meural
https://meural.com

Two different paths here

/1/ has anyone one of these or similar products and tried to get MMM running?

/2/ I like the idea of subscribing to an art feed. Is there a similar service/solution which can be used to have a similar experience directly on MMM?

Regards
Ralf

For me it runs stable since removing the update module.

3rd day. No black screen anymore. I think we identified the root cause.

@ninjabreadman, thanks a lot for trying to help. You are right in your assumption, that I dont fully understand CSS. I am learning as we speak.

The site you mentioned is the one I found as well and followed. Unsuccessful. It is working for the copyright text/title of the Wallpaper module. So I cant be to far off. But not for the clock.

From what I found out so far is that the problem is that the wallpaper and the clock are not in the same “stacking index” which I tried to solve following this article.

Seems no one can help.

I was able to get it some kind of working following this article with adding

.clock div.time.bright.large.light /*span.bold*/ {
  margin-top: 20px;
  font-size: 65pt;
  color: white;   
  z-index: 1;
  mix-blend-mode: difference;
  position: absolute;
}

.MMM-Wallpaper .wallpaper {
  position: absolute;
  z-index: 1;
  mix-blend-mode: difference;
}

But doing so the background gets blended two consecutive pictures. This is because MMM-Wallpaper has two IMG elements. One for the old one and one for the new one.

Not there yet …

This is just to keep you posted in case you want to help ,-).

Same here. I turned down the updatenotification module. See if this helps. Will keep you posted.
