I just installed MMM-BackgroundSlideShow and am really pleased with it. Only have one problem with family photos it tends to drop of the top of the picture thus removing heads. :)

I have tried resizing and attempting to pad the top of the photo to push it down but neither solution fixed the issue. I also set max size to 1080 X 764 from the default 2160 X 1080 but most pics are still well under that max size and still cutting off heads.

I really like the module and want to get the pics fixed before Thanksgiving when when we have family over. Any suggestion greatly appreciated.

Yes, that fixed it . Thanks for the help.

That did it. Had to do a “docker restart mm” also before the screen updated correctly. Thanks for your help.

I’ve tried several times to install MMM-NOAAForecast and it has failed every time. When I restart MM it shows “Loading” and that is all. I went back in the logs for this last try and found the following:

[2025-11-08 16:30:50.514] [LOG]   Initializing new module helper ... 
[2025-11-08 16:30:50.514] [LOG]   Module helper loaded: calendar

I was using MMM-CONFIG installer to do the install. This is MM on Docker. Dell Inspiron running Ubuntu 24.02.

I believe there is a different URL for the V3 key. It is something I would do, put in a new key and not change the URL.

@TAGinside said in MMM-ISS-Live error 153:

@karsten13

@karsten13 made some changes to the environment of the module on github, I reloaded the module and the error is gone. Thanks for the help, sorry it took so long to acknowledge the fix.

@sdetweil Thanks for letting me know something I should have know.
I will do better in the future.

@TAGinside Thanks. I’m learning more everyday and that feels good.

@TAGinside Using MMM-Config, many thanks to sdetweil/MMM-Config, I now have a new config.js that offers many more options for the default Weather modules. I wondered if mine was updating regularly so In kept notes of the temp and time I checked and things were working properly. Below is the contents of the default weather module config. Note they have an “updateInterval: 600000” in the second instance which should be about 10 minutes.

Hope this helps,
RonR

@sdetweil Yes, I did add that to config.js. It is nice to have done something right for a change. :)

@sdetweil Yes, that is where I downloaded from.

Running MM V2.33.0 on Docker. I installed MMM-ISS-Live but it only shows this error message: “Error 153
Video player configuration error”

I have done some research and found that I need to add " referrerpolicy=“strict-origin-when-cross-origin” " to the IFrame. I looked at the MMM-ISS-Live.js file, found a section dealing with IFrame and inserted the policy statement following the format of the other Iframe statements. That change alone did not fix the problem, same error message after restarting MM.

I noticed several references to electron and now I’m wondering if this module will even run under Docker.

Any suggestions/thoughts greatly appreciated.
RonR

I wanted to mark this one solved,but couldn’t get to it. I found a spelling error that fixed it. Bottom does not have 3 t’s :)
Now there is a problem with the video not playing and I’m looking for a work around. I think it is way out of my knowledge base to fix it though.

Thanks for replying.

Running MM on docker. Trying to install a new module, MMM-ISS-Live, download it into magicmirror/mounts/modules/MMM-ISS-Live. Ran npm install and updated config.js for the new module.

When I restart the mm module and open MM the default modules are there but nothing for the module I just installed. MM logs does not show any errors for the module. The quadrant, bottom_left, is empty so no conflicts there.

Any ideas on where to look for the problem?

Ron R

@sdetweil Sam, I can’t believe how simple it was and I just over looked it in the docs. Thanks for being so patient with me.

@schlomm Thanks, I understand, download new module files.

Ron R

@sdetweil Sam, I installed your config module but it does not display on the screen. I tried moving it to the bottom-right but no difference. I tried to reinstall it w/ npm install, no help.

This is the portion of the config.js for MMM-config. I added the restart entry because I wanted it to restart after an change to the file.
{
module:“MMM-Config”,
position:“bottom_right”,
// the QR code (if requested) will appear here
config:{
restart:“docker”,
}
{,

As far as I know I have followed all the directions.

@sdetweil Sam, It is working WOW. :) Now the question is can I move the modules I have on the old system over to this one and modifiy the config file? I’m going to install your config module also.

Ron

@sdetweil Sam, I saw your module yesterday while browsing the 3rd party modules list. I will definitely take download your module. Thanks.

@sdetweil Sam, Thanks for the pointer. I looked for the instructions but missed them some how. Tried to install a different image yesterday but it crashed with missing files. I’ll let you know how this works out for me. I’m practicing right now before I try to do it on my RPI5.
