    • RE: MMM-GoogleMapsTraffic module stops MMM-MySportsboard from working

      @TheGeekfather that module has a bug, I have a fixed version, which I submitted to the author, but not yet applied…

      do this

      stop the mirror app

      cd ~/MagicMirror/modules
      mv MMM-GoogleMapsTraffic MMM-GoogleMapsTraffic.original
      git clone https://github.com/sdetweil/MMM-GoogleMapsTraffic
      cd MMM-GoogleMapsTraffic
      npm install
      

      restart mirror app

    • RE: Complete Walkthrough - Install MagicMirror on a PC - Windows 7/10

      @matefits71 on Linux, the xwindows graphical system writes to a numbered ‘display’ , and there can be multiple.

      windows doesn’t have that. which is why I’ve written to remove that part, and also run the manual npm install in vendors and go ta folders

    • RE: What is your backup and restore method?

      @Cyric there is a false sense of security w sd cards. the memory technology used is write once. the bits cannot be reused

      the software does not know this… the hardware does the work under the covers and say Success!
      even when its not.

      once the bits are used, the card is dead. may turn read only or may start exhibiting corrupted files ( the software does not know)

      this technology is great for cameras and music, low write activity… not so much for os’s that page, write log files… or apps like mm that constantly cause log files

      I think, based on your description your card is used up. time for a new one…

      I changed my pis to boot from SD card, but run from ssd (same technology, just really bigger)

      ps. I have lost 10 sd cards to this problem over the last 4 years…

    • RE: Looking for feedback and advice

      @Xsoldier2000 the thing you see on github IS a web page dynamically constructed from a list of files in the project repository AND a rendering of a readme if one is found, and some other github project mgmt services, issues, fixes, …

    • RE: MMM-MercedesMe

      @kar1507 if you start your mirror with pm2
      do pm2 status

      then pm2 logs --lines=100
      will show 100 lines of the logged info…
      same stuff that is displayed after npm start

      pm2 flush to clear the logs

    • RE: Need Help Changing Background Image Based on Time

      @mmrize said in Need Help Changing Background Image Based on Time:

      job: function () {
      clearTimeout(this.timer)
      this.updateDom()
      this.setImageURL()

      still backwards.
      update url,
      then call updatedDom,
      which calls getDom
      which uses the url

    • RE: Upcoming Release April 1, 2026 , breaking changes, some operational changes

      @rkorell on the moment info, we removed it from calendar. Doesn’t mean your modules have to change.

      The weather notification interface did not change. No modules should be impacted
