hopefully this will help us all work on quicker responsiveness and shorter
get this
what did you do last
cycles…
but there is a side effect.,… the automated build process failed (on master, which itself hasn’t changed)… oops… and our banner shows the build failed…
on code and doc sites…
just to let you know, we know and are working on it.
conversation about the templates here
@dankerthrone said in Black Screen: "cannot find module 'node_helper'":
Cannot find module ‘node_helper’
u did an npm install in a folder that had no package.json file I think
workaround do
cd ~/MagicMiror
git checkout modules/node_modules/node_helper/index.js
@ray_mtl there is an issue open. looks like envcanada has changed their api significantly
@nowayto restore, option 2 . restore will reinstall all the modules and copy any created files saved with them
(What’s the point of having a restore tool if it doesn’t?)
And restore will copy the GitHub repo down for you (part 1 of your option 2)
now, on the github
its the same as ‘copy the MM_backup folder someplace’
backup also creates versions
backup today and next week, and restore either one
or one from last year
github is free
make a private repo
I have been fighting some crashes for a while, but using the dev window doesn’t help. it dies when Electron dies…
I found this logger, and it has helped a LOT…
thought others would be interested…
you put the javascript in a file (I used js/logger.js)
and then add the two lines to the index.html file (change the path/name of the logger.js file to match what you do)
the log file will be in ~/.config/Electron/logs
(note the leading dot on config)
i run MM on an ODroid Xu4… I think C2 would be ok.
le Potato has an ubuntu image 18.04 at least…
so its seems reasonable… some supporting modules (speech reco mostly) might be lagging
there has been an updated version of raspi os released this week
there appear to be a bunch of changes to screen mgmt

@Hellonoonan I am willing to discuss. send me a better description. My email is my user ID here on Gmail.
We can also chat on discord.
@jimbydude as I mentioned above you can configure it if, you get one file that was removed in 2.11
cd ~/MagicMirror
curl -sl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts/master/run-start.sh >run-start.sh
chmod +x run-start.sh
edit package.json and replace the start stmt with this
"start", "./run-start.sh",
then edit config.js and set
serverOnly:'local",
this will launch the run-start.sh when u do npm start or pm2 start x
the script will check the setting of the serverOnly parm and if set to ‘local’,
will launch mm in server only and then launch chrome over it. from the outside you cannot tell the difference… (u can for video playback)
from config.js
// serverOnly: true/false/"local" ,
// local for armv6l processors, default
// starts serveronly and then starts chrome browser
// false, default for all NON-armv6l devices
// true, force serveronly mode, be```cause you want to.. no UI on this device@valid8r you only need to update the module… the mm update does NOT update any non-default modules…
go to the module folder
cd~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Holidaylights
git pull
if it has a package.json file then in the module folder do
npm install
@core use an ir touch frame over the glass.
see the
suspend() and resume() functions you can add to be notified when being hidden (suspend) and shown (resume)
@Arno123 it’ll run just fine
flash the SD card, boot, skip updates, and run my install script. it will do everything needed.
see
https://github.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts
as part of the install it will increase the swap space.
@Xsoldier2000 the symbols, if defined in the config.js and not in a customEvents list should have been broadcast to Ext3
Size, maybe you want to start from bottom bar
See the second link in my signature below for using the developers windows to discover and test css
Width and height are the two primary size items
And he has lots of styles to adjust cell size, text size…
Read his doc
@capedbuffethero really? I’ll check on that. didn’t used to be.
starting with one of the newer electron builds, (and chrome, and mozilla) they have implemented a new ’ no autoplay’ policy.
they require a user to click on the web page somewhere to enable autoplay…
there is a workaround
edit mm/js/electron.js
and change the code like this
function createWindow() {
app.commandLine.appendSwitch('autoplay-policy', 'no-user-gesture-required'); //< -------- added
var electronOptionsDefaults = {
then restart MM… autoplay will work now
@bm erase the MagicMirror folder and use my install script from here
