slideshow issue from NAS

palp

Thanks Sam, for quick response.
yes i’ve added the mount on boot in the fstab and i can browse the pictures in the /mnt/samba/myPicFrame. in fact MM is starting with those picture but going blank in a while (approx 10-15 min after start may be).

Thans, Pratap

@sdetweil yes link is mounted correctly i can see the picture files in ‘ls /mnt/samba/myPicFrame/’ - infact MM is starting with those picture correctly but after a while (may be 10-15 min) screen is going blank.
so i guess mount of the network share is correct but something else blanking the screen after a while.

thanks for your response. please help further.

Thanks, Pratap

@palp the module produces logging to where npm start is done

if using pm2, then

pm2 logs --lines=xxxx
xxxx most recent line count, default 15

@palp also if you have a mouse or keyboard…
does that wake it up?

and then the developers console (if the browser is still alive)
ctrl-shift-i
select the console tab

palp

@sdetweil thanks again.
ref attached image for the log line - it is reading the networkshare/*.jpg and showing something ‘stream closed’ not sure if that is an issue or not

then i attached a keyboard and black screen does not wake by keystroke, however mouse pointer moves on black screen.
also ctrl+shift+i does nothing however ctrl+m is minimizing the MM window and showing desktop.

@palp ok, the browser side died. does the log show the same image file at crash?

palp

@sdetweil yes, i see the same lines in the .pm2/log/mm-out.log

not sure if im reading correct log file though!

sdetweil

@palp just for grins can you move butterfly.jpg out of the samba server folder

@palp i had a case like that a few years ago. one of the images was misformatted (actually 3 of 6,000)

i edited it and saved it again and it was ok after that

palp

@sdetweil yes you are right - i’ve removed all 50+ jpg files and started with couple of them and looks like its working i mean screen is not going blank even after longer time - as expected.

now i need to find which jpg file(s) is bad and causing this and put them back.

anyway thanks for your help!
