@shbatm @Cr4z33 Hello guys and let me first wish you happy holidays and say thank you to @shbatm for this module.
I too am using MMM-RTSPStream to stream my TV tuner to the mirror (the streaming is done from a media server running VLC in my network where the TV tuner is installed). Here is whats happening in my case :

Everything is working “fine” per say meaning:

If i go on my Rpi that my MM is installed and on the terminal i type

omxplayer rtsp://192.168.1.254:8554/vlc

I can see my TV programming playing just fine with minimal resources used on the pi …however when i try to watch it on MM after launching it, it does not work it just displays a gray quadrant!!

If i go on the MM config.js and i change the url on MMM-RTSPStream module from the above to one of my cameras who have a username and password than MagicMirror displays them as expected and beautifully on the assigned page.

So both my MM config of the RTSPStream module and my actual stream work …separately however, but not together!!!

Does MMM-RTSPStream has to have a username and password for it to work???

What do you think is happening in my case??

Any help is always greatly appreciated

@oceank how do you hide and show all modules what do you use to do that via voice?? ??/ thats why i wanted mirror mirror for ?? doy you yse MMM-voices?? i can not use that cause it messes my Alexa Pi up

@shbatm Oh great that is all i wanted thank you!

I have been struggling to get MMM-MirrorMirrorOnTheWall and its skill for the past 5 months and i am unable to get it to work.

Now i got myself a new module to work with thanks to you :)

I do have MMM-RemoteControl working and i guess all it takes is to write some long config.js sections for all my modules … and they are a lot of them LOL

So basically all my modules will look like switches right??

Thank you
Denis

@oceank this looks very interesting to control themirror with alexa installed already likemy case is https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/9211/mmm-alexaonoff-simple-mirror-control-from-external-home-assistant-alexa-google-home-hass-io

@shbatm very very interesting… i get the part of turning on and off the whole mirror but my question is;
Can it show and hide other magic mirror modules one has installed and if so how??
Thank you for doing this
Denis

@klinge I think the appilcationstarts but on server mode only at least thats what it was doing on my case…go on a different computers webbrowser and type your mirrors RaspberryPi IP address and :8080 as the port number http://raspberrypiIP:8080 and see what you get.

I did not find a solution to it i just took OpenGL out of the equation and it works fine

Denis

nothing at all my friend

@cowboysdude well thats cool …does it do turn on and turn off modules also ??

@cruunnerr Hey there buddy i know everyone is busy with the holidays coming up and i don’t want to bother you much but in regard to my predicament 2 posts above do you think if i add a cron job to restart the pi at the time i want the screen to be on will be a solution?? And how would i go about adding a restart as a cron job everyday in the morning at 7:30 am for example?/
Thank you
D

@cruunnerr Hey there great tutorial,
I want to use the cronjob to turn on and off the mirror at certain times of the day.
My monitor is a DVI monitor so it is connected digitally with a cable that on one end is HDMI that sticks in the Rpi and the other end is a DVI connector that goes in the monitor.
When i try the commands you have mentioned;

sudo tvservice -o to turn off
sudo tvservice -p to turn on

vcgencmd display_power 0 to turn off
vcgencmd display_power 1 to turn on

Both commands for OFF turn off the display however none of the ON commands work right …it does not come on fully!!!
Meaning that it is On just no picture… it says DVI = Active VGA - No Signal and the Rpi is working there is just no picture …and no there is no Power Saving feature, i don’t think, because the back light of the LCD i can see is on after the ON command.
I send the On and Off commands through Putty ssh but i am also logged in with VNC and the moment you click reboot from VNC (there is nothing on the screen just dark with On LCD back light) the picture comes immediately back on and reboot carries on as usual and the picture is back on!!
So i think the Rpi HDMI signal is at fault and not the monitor feature but i may be wrong …what do you think may man??

Thank you in advance
Denis

p.s I read all 11 pages of this thread form the begging to the end with the hopes of finding a solution before bothering you LOL :)
