@mykle1 Peculiar. I’ve no idea why it’s giving different results for you.
I’ll have a play when I have time, but for now the ‘fudge-fix’ (deducting five hours in config.js) works ok for me.

Thank you!

Changed n179 to n136, as shown.
Stopped and restarted MM.
Did not change time in config.js, and expected results to now be incorrect, but there’s no change.
The module still shows the correct time for my countdown.

OK, got it working now.

Had to fudge the time to make it work for GMT.
How do you change the time zone properly?

@mykle1 I just added this module as it looks good for something I would like to do.
However, nothing happens. MM starts up OK, but the module doesn’t show.

		{
        disabled: false,
        module: 'MMM-EventHorizon',
        position: 'bottom_right',
	config: {
            size: "large", // small, medium or large
	    countUp: "yes", // Yes or no (when timer ends)
            date: "2018-12-03", // (YYYY-MM-DD)  Date timer will end
            time: "00:00:01", // (HH:MM:SS)    Exact time you want timer to end
	    text1: "Open the damn pool", // 1st line of text during timer. About 18 characters total.
            text2: "Winter sucked ass", // 2nd line of text during timer. About 18 characters total.
            endText1: "It's gonna be fun", // 1st line of text when timer ends. About 18 characters total.
            endText2: "Where's my bikini", // 2nd line of text when timer ends. About 18 characters total.
    }
},             
   

GitHub shows - disabled: f,
Here it shows - disabled: false,

Is that an issue?

Thanks.

That’s fixed it, thank you.

The “showEnd:” parameter wasn’t listed in my config.js. When was that changed, where’s the documentation?

@alvinger said in Calendar entries showing end time.:

It is one of the new features in the latest beta. You can turn it off in config.js.

Excellent!. How, what needs to be changed?

Strange, does no-one else have the same issue?

Since installing the last 8 commits, calendar is now showing the end time of events.
All-day events, e.g. birthdays, span two days.

What’s changed, how do I get it back to normal?

Thanks.

Ok, I’ll try that, thank you.

How do I get it back if I want to?
And can I still VNC to the Pi desktop?

How then do I convert my existing MM to serveronly?

All the instructions seem to be for making a serveronly MM from the start.

Thanks.

@madscientist

I tried

dtoverlay=vc4-fkms-v3d

That doesn’t work for me, MM boots to a few lines about blocks, then nothing else.
(see https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/7554/applied-change-to-config-txt-mm-fails-to-boot/6)

I used rpi config instead.

Ambient room temp is about 23/24C

“buck converter”?

Will try serveronly when I get a moment.

It’s currently running at 74.1C

Getting steadily more disillusioned with the whole MM project. :(

Twice recently it’s crashed, at 01:09, and 21:44
When it boots back up again, the screen flashes blank a few times before it settles.

Pi feels warm, temp shows 63.4C - despite making the changes to the Pi config.

I tend mostly to view MM on a browser away from the host Pi.
Would running MM in ‘server mode’ avoid the Electron browser temp problem?

But if it keeps crashing like this, I think I might abandon the whole thing, and use the Pi for something else.

Done through raspi-config, seems ok, boots and runs fine.

sudo vcgencmd measure_temp

shows 56.9C

Ok, when I get time, I’ll create a backup of the MM SD card first, and then try the GUI config tool.

Thanks.

No, because if that kills it, I don’t know how to bring it back - what file to edit etc…?

Stuck time might be the sunset time. Mine is 21:17, so not stuck al all.

That doesn’t work for me, MM boots to a few lines about blocks, then nothing else.

display_rotate = 1 - is commented out (I’m happy with MM in landscape mode)
avoid_warnings = 1 - line doesn’t exist.

Or…, is it best to use the sudo raspi-config /Advanced/… route?
