@dazza120 no. Motion is not related to MM. It can do all sorts of things. Record video, take snapshots, and a lot more. Supports just about every camera.

And has exits which can be used to inform others of motion, video files, …

So, follow it’s install instructions. Then edit /etc/motion/motion.conf, and update the lines I documented in the readme. This will call the script I provided to inform my module of motion(start and end)

U also customize the motion app on sensitivity, delay, etc etc. All things I have seen people ask about.

@thestigh we exchanged info on this, and have solved the problem…

@frode or, you weren’t in the mm/modules folder when u did the git clone… so the MMM-CalendarWeek folder is in the wrong place…

@mykle1 sorry, you are using some words that don’t describe well what the problem is…

i THINK you said

when I try to load image files (local to the MM system), I use a URL string. 
that URL string is 'relative' to the base of my server, defined by '??????' (you didn't supply that)

when a URL fails to load, I get error 404. (not found). 

but how do I handle this?

you would add an onerror() handler for the img object
this will get called ONLY when there is an error

img.onerror = funtion(event_object){
var img_with_error = event_object.currentTarget
img_with_error.src=??? the url of the failing image
}

see https://www.w3schools.com/jsref/obj_event.asp
for more info in decoding the event object

Erase both lock files, and go again

@ejay-ibm yes, a well written module will suspend operations while hidden or suspended.

@mykle1 note that your onerror handler could get stuck in a loop IF the forced replacement url also fails

@lpgjg mmm recipe is there, just not clear, bottom text

{ module: 'MMM-Recipe', position: 'bottom_bar', config: { video: true //default is true if you want to be able to play video of recipe updateInterval: 180 * 60 * 1000, // every 3 hours Suggest you don't do it more often then this. } }

rotten tomatoes, everything is optional…

so as always the minimum module config is

{
module: "module_name",
   config: {}
},

so …

{
   module: "MMM-RottenTomatoes",
   config: {}
},

@cowboysdude @Mykle1 just add routines for suspend and resume. Set a variable on suspend, and don’t do anything til the variable is cleared on resume
