[SOLVED] random black screen

[qu1que]

I’m starting to see my problem…

Fortunately I had saved an old config.js file with less modules than the one I have now. In studying the differences, I find this in my current config.js file:

Too many calls to the newsfeed module, surely that’s the reason for the error.

This is the configuration in the MMM-Pages module that was giving me problems

{
module: 'MMM-pages',
     config: {
          modules:
               [[ "calendar_monthly", "MMM-Tools", "MMM-OpenWeatherForecast", "newsfeed"],
               [ "calendar", "MMM-AirQuality"],
               [ "MMM-TelegramBot", "MMM-EyeCandy"],
               [ "calendar_monthly", "MMM-Tools", "MMM-OpenWeatherForecast", "newsfeed"],
               [ "MMM-SolarPicture", "MMM-Lunartic", "MMM-Comics"],
               [ "MMM-Comics" ],
               [ "MMM-RAIN-MAP" ],
               [ "calendar_monthly", "MMM-Tools", "MMM-OpenWeatherForecast", "newsfeed"],
               [ "MMM-RandomPhoto", "MMM-History"],
               [ "MMM-WeatherChart"],
               [ "MMM-AirQuality", "newsfeed"],
               [ "MMM-Wallpaper"]],
rotationTime: 30000,
fixed: ["alert", "updatenotification", "clock", "MMM-OpenmapWeather", "MMM-page-indicator"]
}
},

@qu1que MagicMirror can only show or hide modules. it will load all defined in config.js, and then pages will make them show or not…

sone modules, not many, will sleep when hidden and restart on show. I don’t know if newsfeed is like that

@sdetweil

It is possible that in the end the problem was with the resource-intensive MMM-RAIN-MAP module. Now it’s disabled, let’s see what happens…

In the end, my method is as simple as trial-and-error until it’s solved.

@qu1que yrs trial and error is the key tool here

Well, I think I can tag this post with SOLVED, all day with MMM-RAIN-MAP module disabled and no more black screens.

Thanks all for your advice.
