@sceetch Hi, This is what I’m running with 8 gigs of ram and an SSD. :)

@sceetch Hi! Are you running on a RPi? Not sure if it can handle the load of playing a 720p in the webbrowser (that is used for the mirror)… A RPi 4 may be able to? Not sure… I moved my mirror over to an Intel NUC to be able to play 1080p in full screen… :)

Hi @Schmaniel, yes. It works. That’s the way I have my Mirror setup. :) More info here…

@swvalenti Ok… :)
You need a “server” (a location where you can “wget” files from for this to work.
I have a specific backup directory on my own webserver, but you can use any server as long as you can wget from it.

Then the “Toinstall” part is just me having more the one config files in the backup dir.
Basically I have 2 different install possibility’s “house” and “NUC”.
So my backup config files are named “config-house.js” and config-NUC.js".
I enable the one I want to restore.

“ConfigName” is the actual name of the config file when it’s copied to it’s destination. This is probably always going to be “config.js” for the MM2. :)

“User” is in what directory the “MagicMirror” is located (when you cloned it).

“Moddir” is where your modules will be installed (this is probably always going to the same for MM2 as well).

“DownloadFrom” is where to download your backed up files from.

Then it’s just two "array"s with the files and folders with the backup files and where to copy them when restoring.
Files[1] = “file1-to-copy”
Dirs[1] = “Where/to/copy/file-1”
And so on…

Files[3] Is the script I use to set the screen to sleep and wake it up (Using MMM-Remote-Control).
Files[4] Is the script I use to automatically update the mirror and the modules (manually).

Files[7-9] It’s the “compliment-files” (used in the compliments module).

And Files[11] Is the MagicMirror start script I use (for starting the mirror with pm2).

“Packfile” Is the name of the file to look for when installing moduls. If it’s there, the npm install will be executed when installing the module.

Last but not least it’s all the git-repos for the modules I use in my mirror.
These will be cloned in the “Moddir” and installed (with npm if “Packfile” exists").

That’s about it. :)

Let me know if you have any more questions. :)

Hi there! Manual “backup” of the config, CSS and compliments files when I change them (just copying it to my server). Then when reinstalling, I’m using a script (that I can wget down to the new install) containing all modules to reinstall and it copy back the config, CSS and compliments from the backup location… :)

See script below…

@kwaeksler Ah, ok, so controlled from the RPi I/O pins? :) I’m currently trying to control my leds from the serial-port (because I’m not running the mirror on a RPi), but I have not yet found a MM-module that supports talking to the serial-port (in the correct way). For the moment I’m have a Arduino Nano that CAN control the leds, but I want to send commands (via USB-Serial) to the Nano to do stuff with the leds… :)

@kwaeksler Looking good! How are you controlling the LEDs?

@lucas781 Nice! Great idea as well!

@boybay7 Nice frame! Looking good!

@pattanner92 I noticed the same with the scheduler, normally cron has MAR as 3 but for some reson the scheduler does not. The month are from 0-11. :)

@elitecybernet Hi! Yes, default is “no sound”, because if you set it to yes, it will not “autoplay”. But you can just change the option: muted to false.

{
  module: 'MMM-Videoplayer',
  position: 'middle_center',
  config: {
    muted: false,
  }
},

Like so… :)

@George Oh, no, not really, but I’m sure it’s possible with CSS, so it would be in your “custom.css” file you should do what’s needed…
Maybe some one else knows? :)

@George Hi, you use the defined “regions”: https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/286/regions
Like this, this is from my config:

		{
			disabled: false,
			module: "MMM-MoonPhase",
			position: "top_right", // This is the region... 
			config: {
				updateInterval: 43200000,
				hemisphere: "N",
				resolution: "detailed",
				basicColor: "white",
				title: true,
				phase: true,
				x: 150,
				y: 150,
				alpha: 0.7
			}
		},

@Karlberg Great! :)

@Karlberg Hi, the module should be working. It sounds like you have something wrong with the token if HA reports failed logins…

Added a new function in v0.4. See first post…

@BKeyport Oh! Good point! I’ll fix that. Thank you! :)

@feigi Yes, as @sdetweil said, I’m not using a “node_helper” at all. It’s not needed for the player. It looks like it’s loading as it should. If you don’t see the video, try putting it in another region just to see if it plays. I have only tested the player on my mirror (Ubuntu server with XFCE desktop on a Intel NUC machine) and on a Ubuntu server (running in a container (LXC) then accessing the mirror from a Windows 10 machine in Chrome). And both of them are working… But I can imagine that the RPi may struggle…

@dherl0623 Hm… I’m using the player in the region “fullscreen_below”. I have this player first in the config of all things that “can” show in the same region (that way it will always end up above the other things in the same region):

{
	disabled: false,
	module: 'MMM-Videoplayer',
	position: "fullscreen_below",
	classes: "scheduler turn90",
	config: {
		random: true,
		loop: true,
		notification: "VIDEOPLAYER1",
		videolist: ["http://your.site.com/video/clip1.mp4", 
					"http://your.site.com/video/clip1.mp4", 
					"http://your.site.com/video/clip2.mp4", 
					"http://your.site.com/video/clip3.mp4", 
					"http://your.site.com/video/clip4.mp4", 
					"http://your.site.com/video/clip5.mp4", 
					"http://your.site.com/video/clip6.mp4", 
					"http://your.site.com/video/clip7.mp4", 
					"http://your.site.com/video/clip8.mp4", 
					"http://your.site.com/video/clip9.mp4", 
					"http://your.site.com/video/clip10.mp4", 
					"http://your.site.com/video/clip11.mp4"],
		module_schedule: [
			{from: '0 6 31 9 *', to: '5 6 31 9 *'},
			{from: '2 7 31 9 *', to: '7 7 31 9 *'},
			{from: '4 8 31 9 *', to: '9 8 31 9 *'},
			{from: '6 9 31 9 *', to: '11 9 31 9 *'},
			{from: '8 10 31 9 *', to: '13 10 31 9 *'},
			{from: '10 11 31 9 *', to: '15 11 31 9 *'},
			{from: '12 12 31 9 *', to: '17 12 31 9 *'},
			{from: '14 13 31 9 *', to: '19 13 31 9 *'},
			{from: '16 14 31 9 *', to: '21 14 31 9 *'},
			{from: '18 15 31 9 *', to: '23 15 31 9 *'},
			{from: '20 16 31 9 *', to: '25 16 31 9 *'},
			{from: '22 17 31 9 *', to: '27 17 31 9 *'},
			{from: '24 18 31 9 *', to: '29 18 31 9 *'},
			{from: '26 19 31 9 *', to: '31 19 31 9 *'},
			{from: '28 20 31 9 *', to: '33 20 31 9 *'},
			{from: '30 21 31 9 *', to: '35 21 31 9 *'},
			{from: '32 22 31 9 *', to: '37 22 31 9 *'},
			{from: '34 23 31 9 *', to: '39 23 31 9 *'},
		]
	}
},

Then I have set the “classes” on this player to “scheduler turn90”, the first class is for the MMM-ModuleScheduler to work and the second is for the player to be turned 90 degrees and set to full screen.
My CSS entry for this player looks like this:

/* MMM-Videoplayer ----------------------------------*/
.MMM-Videoplayer video {
    width: 1080px;
    height: 1920px;
}

.turn90 video {
    position: absolute;
    transform:rotate(90deg);
    transform-origin: bottom left;
    width: 100vh;
    height: 100vw;
    margin-top: -100vw;
    object-fit: cover;
}
/*****************************************************/

That’s it. :)

@dherl0623 Thank you! :) I’m going to use it soon to play spooky stuff from AtmosFX on Halloween, It’s going to be timed with module scheduler over whole day. Suddenly a ghost appear in the background… :)
