problem Solved, By changing the port of the Mopidy to 8081 and all was well.

Excellent. Thank you SvenSommer. I will definitely use that to help.

I love your build. Very stunning!

Ofcourse Damian…

In the config files for both I could just change the port settings.

MagicMirror:
sudo nano ~/MagicMirror/config/config.js
The port is the first Variable in the config section (default: 8080)

Mopidy:
sudo nano ~/.config/mopidy/mopidy.conf
Here I uncommented the [http] section and for the hostname I used the Pi’s IP and port is 8081.

This solved the problem and I am now able to run my MagicMirror and Mopidy at the same time…

No I want to be able to control it from anywhere in the house. So I am using the Mopidy web App to control the music and the display just shows the mirror as per the usual magicmirror…

Will put up some photos when it actually takes shape.

Hey Sorry for the long wait. I’ve been having a lot of trouble with playing it locally actually…

I put all my music on the SD card under the /home/pi/music/ file…
So in the /etc/mopidy/mopidy.conf under the [local] function I added the /home/pi/music/ as the dir…
Then I did a local scan and it pulled all my music in.

Good Day All

I am trying to make a MagicMirror that can play music as well. That is the big goal here. But I’ve hit a rather silly snag.

I am running Mopidy for the music and the MagicMirror for the Display, but the two refuse to run at the same time… Guessing it has to do with the Mopidy creating a “server” and the MagicMirror trying to then use the internet.

A work around that I was hoping to try is get the MagicMirror to boot up get all the upcoming holidays and time then disconnect itself from the internet and let Mopidy create its server… Maybe then once a day I could let the MagicMirror update or something like that.

So my question is: “How can I get MagicMirror to boot, update and then not use the internet?”

Excellent. Thank you SvenSommer. I will definitely use that to help.

That is perfect. Thank you very much strawberry!

Good Morning All.

I have recently started with MagicMirror, set up a few things… edited a couple of modules, just having fun with it you know.
Now I would like to make my own module as what I want doesn’t exist.

Firstly my question then I will explain what the module must do…
So where would one start to make a module and in what language would you code?

Now what must it do you ask?
Well…
Play music.
But I would like it to have a “play this folder” option and to be controlled by an apple remote (which is already setup).
So basically I will have a few folders which will work as playlists.

Thank you so much for any help that you can provide.
