@MichMich Hi, sorry for the late reply, I could now quickly test it and with the sample config of the devel branch (commit e2ed0f5e55c132633bcbd5c7c64159c0aaced571) it works.

edit: after pulling the master again, it now also works there with language: ‘en’

Cheers

@MichMich well, as I wrote above, I just renamed the sample config which is currently checkd in, never even opened it ;-) That’s why I said it must be one of those default modules…
(I am sitting on this commit: 5d9d71dee8c300fede321dbafb5ff7aa79f1ea30)
Cheers

Hello @MichMich and everyone!

First of all big thanks for this really cool project, my bathroom mirror is progressing well ;-)

Unfortunately I cannot confirm that this issue here is solved.

After succeeding to set up a Pi 1 with the serveronly feature, I ordered a Pi 3, did almost the same but maybe not thoroughly, thought I messed up, and started over from scratch:

I ran the automatic installer and left the config.js.sample as it was (this was the lucky move!). I started the mirror with DISPLAY=:0 npm start. The interface shows up and gives the message: please create a config.js file.
But when I do mv config.js.sample config.js and restart the mirror, I get a black screen. When I now set the language to ‘’, it works as supposed.
So maybe also one of the default modules messes up (like the “wuforecast”)?
Anyhow may I suggest to just set the language field blank in the config.js.sample, so that others don’t stumble upon this?

Thank you and Cheers, Patrick
