@mmmmh you should be using Ext3. It gets its events from the default calendar module

I would guess on ext2 it is waiting for its event loader to provide some events

@ankonaskiff17 you are doing multi tasking anytime you run more than one thing. Doesn’t have to be user input kind of thing(web browsing)

pi w MagicMirror and something else is the same as mini

@plainbroke then backup your MagicMirror config w my scripts,
Install MagicMirror the restore w my scripts. Easy move

@plainbroke search mini pc
Here is a product on Amazon

@alfi153 can you make up some text and show me with \n

You gave to
Use the " double quotes on the strings, not single

@thartley I have an Odroid xu4 and a Jetson nano. But they are older now, new ones are more expensive

I also have a few chrome boxes, that can run some Linux, and MagicMirror too. But they are short on disk space so have to be careful what you install, but they have 4k hdmi.

You can also run Ubuntu on old Intel Mac minis. Not a powerhouse, no gpio, but run MagicMirror just fine

@plainbroke the mini pcs seem to be better if you don’t need gpio support

@ArnoldoB if you use the classes approach vs the module name approach . I could never remember the module name approach , always looking up and down, and figuring how to configure for multiple instances of the same module

I like to use the classname “all_pages” for fixed, makes more sense

@Racing88 awesome!!!

@pat59 yes, one or the other

@Racing88 MagicMirror has a border spacing/ margin

See main.css and set a new value in custom.css

@Getinthegames by default MagicMirror is at 8080
Did you update the config.js? And to allow outside system connections?

port:
address:
ipWhitelist:

@karsten13 yes, always choices

@KristjanESPERANTO correct, the task keeps getting surfaced even tho the module said background.

Just another fun day in we only changed a few lines of code somewhere (not MagicMirror)

@pat59 no… but there have been many changes in the UI and tasking by the OS…

and MMM-RTSPtream has had trouble in the past…
as the background pgm used doesn’t blend well…

maybe try https://github.com/evroom/MMM-MPlayer

@rkorell edited

@htilburgs I’m not aware of any module that provides this kind of orchestration.
You can do it manually with mmm-remote control (hide module)

Some people use MMM-pages to separate overlap

Maybe
https://github.com/MMRIZE/MMM-NotificationTrigger

But I don’t know if the on Spotify signals it’s appearance/disappearance

You might be able to use the Now-Playing notification

@chrga awesome!!

@KristjanESPERANTO the system skills of users is not changing for the better. AI has made sure of that.

but that is why i keep up the installer, upgrade, backup/restore, MMM-Config…

make onboarding success easier and repeatable.

yes, the downstream effects are still trouble (debug, final composition, styling…)
but those were tough anyhow… and there is no simple, one thing fixes all.

@KristjanESPERANTO I understand and agree 100%,
You are preaching to the choir!!

There are SO many little things to make and maintain a running system
Even pm2 gets in the way
Shell scripts
Environment variables
Case sensitivity
Shell commands
Piping
Editor ui
Keyboard key mappings
Js and json file structures and syntax
Not to mention all the OS and display orientation details and constant changes

And we haven’t even talked about modules, install, update, hardware interaction(gpio) . API dependencies ,

Nor solution design, putting it all together (and mounting the thing)!

Docker should be the last mile AFTER you got all this under control.

But it’s provided and is a ‘quick’ ‘win’ to get base up and running.
