Added some new stuff again in v0.3. See first post…

Added some new stuff in v0.2. See first post… :)

Hi!
Try one of these:
https://github.com/SaltyRiver/MMM-SimpleText
https://github.com/martinmeinke/MMM-display-text-file
https://github.com/SkogDev/MMM-Text

Depending on how you want it… :)

@feigi Hmm… I found that I had forgotten a comma in the example configs… But It looks like you have that comma in your config. I tried it on a “clean” install (on both development and master branch) and with your config and it works. What does the log say? (pm2 log).

@feigi Hmm… I’ll have to test on my test rig tomorrow, maybe something is broken… What are you running on? I have not tried it on a RPi, so I don’t know if the Pi can handle the video-tag correctly… Is there anyone else here who can test it on a Pi? :)

Hi, I had the same issue when I built my mirror… Here is how I solved it. Made a .sh script with all the information: :)

#!/bin/bash

# Before I just tested with the xinput command directly in the autostart file, but that did not work. So now instead I just created a script called xin.sh.
# nano ~/xin.sh
# Then added
# DISPLAY=:0.0 xinput --set-prop "Multi touch Multi touch overlay device" "Coordinate Transformation Matrix" 0 1 0 -1 0 1 0 0 1
# There should actually be 3 spaces between “Multi touch” and “Multi touch overlay device”. For some reason the board removes the extra spaces here.
#
# You can actually find the “name” of the device with this command form a console: DISPLAY=:0.0 xinput list
# Shows something like this:
#
# Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)]
#   Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)]
#   Multi touch Multi touch overlay device id=6 [slave pointer (2)]
# Virtual core keyboard id=3 [master keyboard (2)]
# Virtual core XTEST keyboard id=5 [slave keyboard (3)]
#
# Depending on what you have connected to your RPi. 🙂
# 
# So, after creating the xin.sh I added that to the autostart file for LXDE:
# Like this:
# nano ~/.config/lxsession/LXDE-pi/autostart
# Added at the end of the file.
# @/home/pi/xin.sh
# Restarted and it works.
#
DISPLAY=:0.0 xinput --set-prop "Multi touch   Multi touch overlay device" "Coordinate Transformation Matrix" 0 1 0 -1 0 1 0 0 1

Maybe you guys can use it some how? :)

Description:

This Module adds a video player in any of the regions, you define what files to play.

Screenshots:

Simple video showing the module when playing a video and whats happen when hiding / showing it.

Download:

https://github.com/Snille/MMM-Videoplayer

Custom-CSS

If you want to change the size of the player.

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

Tip:
Let’s say run the module in “fullscreen_below” and have a mirror in portrate mode (as in the CSS example above). You many want to turn the player 90 degrees…
Then set the CSS to:

.MMM-Videoplayer video {
    width: 1080px;
    height: 1920px;
    -moz-transform:rotate(90deg);
    -webkit-transform:rotate(90deg);
    -o-transform:rotate(90deg);
    -ms-transform:rotate(90deg);
    transform:rotate(90deg);
}

Normally you just need to add the line:

    transform:rotate(90deg);

But for comparability reasons, you can add all of them. :)

And, as you will probably notice with the above CSS code. The video player will not really “fill” the whole background when you turn it 90 degrees. So, then you need to to this:

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

Also, if you have other stuff in the same region (in my case “fullscreen_below”), it’s a good idea to add the video module before any other module in the same region in the config, Then when you actually display the video module it pops up “on top of” all other stuff. :)

Version 0.4

• Added “hideonstart” - If set to true, the player will hide it self when a clip is loaded (and just started playing (clip will be paused when the player is hidden)). Then when the player is shown again it will continue play the clip and hide itself again when the next clip is loaded (and just starts playing) and so on…

Version 0.3

• Added more “notification” commands (“REPLAY” and “NEXT”).
• Also fixed so all videos will be played when in radom, before a video is played again (if in loop mode).

Version 0.2

• Added a video list option (you can define multiple video files).
• Added a option to “randomize” the videos played from the list.

Version 0.1

• Initial release.

@gaudouy Hi, no, it can only show and hide one/ or multiple instances of the same type of module on one button, but not two different types of modules on one button.

Added a video (two years later): https://youtu.be/2Hi9IDfrqPQ
The Mirror is used daily and I have upgraded from a RPi 3 to a NUC instead to get more CPU-Power to play with. :)

@sdetweil Thanks! :)

I could not find a “good enough” Home Assistant Module for the Mirror, so I forked and developed a bit on the one I thought worked the best.

Description:

Adds the defined Home Assistant Sensors to your Magic Mirror.

Simplest possible:

Different pictures depending on values from the sensors (with some modified CSS):

And here is my personal advanced “look”… :)

@ooskay Hi! I get this error to. What modules do you run in your mirror? I think it may be one of my modules causing the problem.

This is my list:
calendar_monthly
mm-hide-all
MMM-CalendarExt
MMM-Chart
MMM-cryptocurrency
MMM-Globe
MMM-iFrameReload
MMM-JSONStatusChecker
MMM-Memo
MMM-Modulebar
MMM-ModuleScheduler
MMM-MotionEye
MMM-MyCalendar
MMM-MyCommute
MMM-newsfeedtouch
MMM-plex-recently-added
MMM-Profilepicture
MMM-ProfileSwitcher
MMM-Remote-Control
MMM-Sonos
mmm-suncalc
MMM-TextClock
MMM-Tools
MMM-TouchNavigation
MMM-WunderGround

What do you have?

@andurii I get the same error message “Couldn’t get a file descriptor referring to the console” but the monitor turn on… :)

I have tow desktops as well, the Mirror shows up on one of them… I can use (in VNC) CTRL + ALT + Right or Left arrow key to switch between virtual desktops.

@andurii Hmm… Sounds like your monitor has gone to standby.
Login via SSH:

Make a sh file named: monitor.sh

Add the flowing to the file:

#!/bin/bash

if [ "$1" == 'on' ]; then
  tvservice -p;
  chvt 6;
  chvt 7;
fi

if [ "$1" == 'off' ]; then
  tvservice -o
fi

Then make it executable with: chmod +x monitor.sh
Turn on them monitor it like this: ./monitor.sh on
Turn it off like this: ./monitor.sh off

And of course, make sure you are on the correct input to actually see the Pi… :)

That should “turn on” (or off) the screen from SSH. :)

Hi @korevaartje, If I remember correctly you need to use a URL to the picture. You cant use a “local” path. I’m currently loading all the pictures from an “internal” web server (that I use for lot’s of other stuff as well). And that made it easy to switch the pictures without having to change anything on the actual MM.

I hope that clarify’s it. :)

Hi all!
Just wanted you all to know that you CAN actually use an Airtame to display the mirror!
If you setup a “serveronly” instance of MM and then point your Airtame’s “Homescreen Backround” to a website and enter the URL to your MM (Server) there. It shows up!

Of course you cant have any “touch” functionality and other “intelligence” on the Airtame. But if you just want to display stuff without interaction directly on the device it works great! You can also still use the “MMM-Remote” module to control what’s displayed on the device of course. Or why not MMM-Scheduler… :)

I have tried this on an Airtime running with firmware version 3.0.0-b6.

Enjoy!

@stacywebb Thank you! I’ll try it out as soon as I got some time. Have you compared with a Pi3?

@Antflips Hi, nope unfortunately not. It is still “misbehaving”. You can use the “lock” mechanism in “Profile Switcher” if you want, but it’s then locking all hidden modules. Then it works, but then you can not un-hide with any hidden modules with other module. And that’s what I wanted to be able to do.

All, I have got the Libre Computer now. Trying my best to get the mirror up. Ran in to a small hitch. There is no chromedriver for arm64 yet. They are working on it and there is a PR but it has not yet gone completely through it seems. I’ll see if I can figure it out some how anyway. :)

I’ll come back to this thread as soon as I gotten MM up and running.

@gripworks this usually happens when you have cloned the repository with ssh instead of https.
At least that’s what I have figured out works. :)

If you just do the suggested commands it’s all solved.
It’s github that wants to know who you are. :)

git config --global user.email "you@example.com"
git config --global user.name "Your Name"
