hiddenOnStartup
Perfect.
Thank you Sam.

Thanks for the quick response Sam.
Still no good.
Posted below are the config.js and helloworld .js(part of), is that what you meant by the ‘this.hide()’ placement.
BTW on your code you posted on May 30, 2020, 6:07 AM
there is a fullstop after the closing curly bracket, should that be a comma or nothing ie just a closing bracket.
Thanks for the code posting tip, much easier.

(closing bracket query)
notificationReceived: function(notification, payload, source){
   // this comes before the first call to getDom()
   if(notification === "ALL_MODULES_STARTED")
      this.hidden=true;
}.

-------------------------------------

modules: [
  {
    module: "helloworld",
    hidden: true,
    position: "middle_center", // This can be any of the regions.
    config: {
      // See 'Configuration options' for more information.
      text: "Hello world!",
    },
  },
        ]
};
-------------------------------------------
(this.hide query)
 notificationReceived: function (notification, payload, source) {
   // this comes before the first call to getDom()
   //if(notification === "ALL_MODULES_STARTED")
      //this.hidden=true;
        this.hide()
},

Re: Hide a module by default
Been following Sams instructions on this subject but cannot get it working.
Below is the helloworld module I am experimenting with.
Any help greatly appreciated, thanks.```

/* MagicMirror²
 * Module: HelloWorld
 *
 * By Michael Teeuw https://michaelteeuw.nl
 * MIT Licensed.
 */
Module.register("helloworld", {
	// Default module config.
	defaults: {
        hidden: false,
		text: "Hello World!"
	},

	getTemplate: function () {
		return "helloworld.njk";
	},

	getTemplateData: function () {
		return this.config;
}, 
    
  suspend: function (){
    this.hidden=true
},

  resume: function (){
     this.hidden=false
},
    
    notificationReceived: function (notification, payload, source) {
   // this comes before the first call to getDom()
   if(notification === "ALL_MODULES_STARTED")
      this.hidden=true;
},
  
getDom: function (){
 var wrapper=document.createElement('div')
if(this.hidden==false){ 
     //create normal content
}
return wrapper;
}
        
});

Well, that didn’t format as expected.

Reinstalled Node.js, MM and Screencast.
Pulled from the master.
Two things I noticed:-

1. In MMM-Screencast.js it states:
   “requiresVersion: “2.1.0”, // Required version of MagicMirror”
   I’m running v2.19.0) , does this matter?

2. Terminal Reports

npm audit report

<ejs 3.1.7

Some issues need review, and may require choosing
a different dependency.

Also this report from Terminal on MM boot.
<[29.04.2022 12:16.12.257] [LOG] screencast stderr: objc[43214]: Class WebSwapCGLLayer is implemented in both /System/Library/Frameworks/WebKit.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/WebCore.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/libANGLE-shared.dylib (0x7ffa58e93318) and /Users/rudi/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Screencast/node_modules/electron/dist/Electron.app/Contents/Frameworks/Electron Framework.framework/Versions/A/Libraries/libGLESv2.dylib (0x10b6de9c8). One of the two will be used. Which one is undefined.

My bolding.
One of the two will be used. Which one is undefined.??
Don’t understand.
Any help?
Thanks Rudi.

Re: MMM screencast switch automatically to desktop and starts on desktop (ON MAC)

Having the same problem.
Screencast appears on the desktop with a second instance of Electron simultaneously appearing on the dock.
So not appearing in MM.
Using one display i.e. the laptop.
Has anyone got this working on a MAC?
Does it work on a Windows platform or only on the Pi?
Thanks.

Thanks for the reply Sam.
I had done that which you instruct.
My problem, I just found, I had forgotten to add “.html” at the end as in “http//:192.168.xx.x:8080/remote.html” which threw this error message:- {“status”:“error”,“reason”:“unknown_command”,“info”:“original input: {}”}
Thank you.

Hi schwarem,
Old post I know.
Did you ever find a solution as I have the same problem?
