i got the mirror up and running. it loads the desktop and then the Chromium browser.
how do i get a music player like PiCorePlayer installed via command line? or OR what player can i install on the smart mirror to connect to my LMS and then play music?
seems nobody has done such a thing…

on my mirror, i see “update available”
how do i disable this message on top? i dont want to update anything as it is working fine.

thanks!

yet another blank/black screen thread. pls help since i did not find anything from searching.

my mirror works flawlessly with the MMM-RTSPStream (security camera feed), weather, calendar, and quote module. i added in a totally separate code for PIR motion detection.
BUT for whatever reason, it only works perfectly for about 23hours. after that, i only get a blank black screen. PIR code still works fine whereby it turns the screen on when i walk by BUT it’s a blank black screen. when there’s no one nearby, it shuts off too.
any idea why?

@binderth i am happy to say i can view the camera now AND got the PIR working thanks to your link https://github.com/cowboysdude/Pir-Sensor/blob/master/monitor_on.sh

BUT when motion is detected, monitor turns on only with the camera stream. nothing else is displayed. no calendar, no weather, no time. just camera stream.
any idea why? i spent 3 hours and still clueless. thanks!

@binderth said in cant stream 1 HikVision cam:

MMM-PIR-Sensor

yes, i have MMM-PIR-Sensor running as well!
let me disable it and only have MMM-RTSPStream module running. thanks!

i tried my best to follow the instructions for MMM-RTSPStream.
believe it or not, it was working for 10 seconds while i was setting up the Pi. when i restarted, the video feed no longer works. all i see is a white outline of where the video should be.

here is my module config: https://i.imgur.com/jGMbmwc.jpg
intially, the thought the camera crashed but it is still working fine as seen here: https://i.imgur.com/sLH9Yhj.jpg

and here is my port settings for the camera: https://i.imgur.com/ssbt5Vg.jpg

could someone please help? so strange it quit on me after a restart!

was this solved?
i just installed everything from this tutorial: https://howchoo.com/g/ntcymzbimjv/how-to-install-magic-mirror-on-your-raspberry-pi
everything works EXCEPT this pir module. once i remove the module, off course everything is back to “normal”

but if i add the module back in with

{
			module: 'MMM-PIR-Sensor',
			config: {
				sensorPIN: 4,
				powerSavingDelay: 25,
			}
},

i get nothing but a mouse cursor and a totally black screen. it doesnt turn off or on via the PIR either.

never mind…
i got it now. i reinstalled everything again.
cd ~/MagicMirror/modules
git clone https://github.com/paviro/MMM-PIR-Sensor.git
cd MMM-PIR-Sensor
npm install

sudo usermod -a -G gpio pi

sudo chmod u+s /opt/vc/bin/tvservice && sudo chmod u+s /bin/chvt
to allow turning on/off the hdmi output.

sudo reboot

sudo nano ~/MagicMirror/config/config.js

                {
                        module: 'MMM-PIR-Sensor',
                        config: {
                                sensorPIN: "4",
                                powerSavingDelay: "25",
                        }
                },

@maxbachmann
thank you. i dont know why that day was special. now, feels like temp is back to “normal” without me doing anything special. if it goes crazy again, i will delete those code. thanks!

i just installed magic mirror on the rpi2. loooks great except not sure why current weather shows 185F
just to check, i went outside and it’re about 90F, not 185F!

any idea what went wrong? and how do i have current weather section colorized?
thanks!

and here is the screenshot. if i wake up every day at 9am, i would not notice the 8hrs delay.
but since i wake up at 6am, thats when i noticed the delay as seen in previous screenshots
