EAI_AGAIN error

Richard238

MM has crashed several times recently.
Inspection of MagicMirror-error.log shows a tonne of EAI_AGAIN errors which may or may not have anything to do with it.

Here’s an example, it’s not just sky news, it’s all news feeds, calendars etc., etc…

Google search suggests a DNS error, but MM shows DNS working OK.

@Richard238 eai_again is a networking problem,
lost contact w the network.

don’t know if this is a wifi problem, or a router problem or a wifi provider problem…

@sdetweil

Interesting, it’s using the wifi from the router that’s not 3 metres across the room.
I’ll look at hard wiring it at some point.

sdetweil

@Richard238 the problem could be outside your house

Richard238

@sdetweil I’m WFH most of the week and don’t notice any internet interruptions.

@Richard238 yeh I hear yah. but libraries way down below mm freaked out cause they couldn’t connect to some service to get data.

and the error specifically means mapping the text NAME of the service server to the IP address needed for actual communications

your wfh probably isn’t a cessing those sites.

most of the libraries and modules have limited recovery capabilities
