@anagallis I have redone my fork of the MMM-RandomPhoto module using the correct source, to support multiple instances.

to test this do

cd ~/MagicMirror/modules
rm -rf MMM-RandomPhoto
git clone https://github.com/sdetweil/MMM-RandomPhoto.git
cd MMM-RandomPhoto
git checkout multi-instance
npm install

see the readme for the doc on how to use the new id property to create multiple instances and what you MUST do for css to support each instance… easy, but required.

@anagallis ah, I see. I found the original. Not the other fork. Same problem

Working on it

@PGP_Protector nice!

@videogame95 no, sorry.

You are on developer.spotify.com
Right?

@UncleRoger n stores in the /usr folder, so you have to use sudo for that

sudo n 20.9

@UncleRoger can you check for either tool?

n
Or
nvm
See if either responds
Or get not found

My upgrade script would have tried to redo npm install for the modules after upgrading node

@anagallis delete the MMM-RandomPhoto folder

cd modules
rm -rf MMM-RandomPhoto

and git clone my repo

cd modules
git clone https://github.com/sdetweil/MMM-RandomPhoto

this supports multiple instances
restart MagicMirror

@anagallis the MMM-RandomPhoto module doesn’t support multiple instances
the html ID and Classes are hard coded

@daportelli if you change the module name for a test, does it work?

What do you get from MMM-GoogleCalendar that the default does not provide?

never mind, it won’t work with the google side config…

as for the purpose of this configuration.
the content is protected by https encryption and no user will see it, its only exposed ON the system where MagicMirror runs, same for both modules.

you can get the secret URL from the calendar.google.com settings,

@anagallis if the schedules are the same every day, the easiest way would be the global schedule

Use the crontab tool to create a schedule line from:to for each time period, and add a string for the global_scheduler classname.

Then on the picture module add a property

classes:"???? ?????"

Where ??? Is the classname you specified in the schedule definition.

These classnames are just arbitrary strings, for example

Morning_scheduler, afternoon_schedule
The classes property takes a list of space separated strings

If the schedules are different on different days,
Make a pair for each day, using the same schedule names for all the days

@daportelli looks like cloned config, but not implemetation

@nowayto all mmFetchTimeout does is allow waiting longer in the modules mode-helpers

The black screen means the app crashed, lucky that ctrl-r works

There are Linux tools that can send keystrokes

@nowayto I don’t know.

You could try adding a sleep xxx (seconds)
In front of the npm start in mm.sh to let the system settled down a little.

The remote control module has a refresh api url you could invoke thru curl

But, I think this may indicate the beginning of the sd card death, they are not made to handle a lot of writes. And your system is doing the worst kind, restarting every day.

Make sure you have a good backup

@videogame95 if you logoff and login again, does that make a difference?

@jpiatt because there are multiple vevents with the same UUID, AND NO rrule, this says the actual event has been expanded somewhere… are you using MMM-CalDav??

if so, please change the server side property

expand	true

to false

@daportelli Ah, you are using MMM-GoogleCalendar

which doesn’t support the text replacement

I am talking about the default module:‘calendar’

@daportelli ok, I just setup an event, happening every day
‘Spotify Event’

added the custom event def you showed

                {
                        module: "calendar",
                        header: "US Holidays",
                        position: "top_left",
                        config: {
                                customEvents: [
                                        { keyword:'.*', transform :{ search:'Spotify', replace:'Music'} }
                                        ],
                                calendars: [
                                        {
                                                fetchInterval: 7 * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000,
                                                symbol: "calendar-check",
                                                url: "https://ics.calendarlabs.com/76/mm3137/US_Holidays.ics"
                                        },

and got this result

MM 2.34

I changed the customEvent definition to

{ keyword:'event', transform :{ search:'Spotify', replace:'Music'} }

and it produced the same resutlts

@videogame95 I do not know

when I go there I see the button, but it is disabled as I have 3 apps defined

@wswenson very nice work!!

@jpiatt can you show the event from the iCal data

curl -sL the cal_url > somefile.txt

Edit somefile.txt and find the vevent for that

Paste here w code block around
You can change the title and any other thing that exposes you or your url. Don’t delete any lines

There is a big rewrite of the calendar processing coming on April 1.

You could test that now, see the troubleshooting section pinned topics on testing fixes
