Magic Mirror continuously resets when I view from browser

Dexter1088 · Feb 7, 2025, 9:26 PM

Hi All,

I’m using Raspberry Pi 3B+ running latest MM. So far so good, except when I view my mirror from the web browser it continuously resets. any suggestions? I can share config if you think that will help, thanks!

Dexter1088 · Feb 10, 2025, 6:07 PM

Does anyone know or have an alternative module to MMM-Page-Selector?
The problem is defiantly with that module, and I can’t seem to find a good work around. Soon as I view it from the browser it goes nuts and refresh’s over and over.

I’m just looking for something that will allow me to set different pages I can view like “Home, Calendar, tasks”

Thanks!

@Dexter1088 like to see the output at npm start on the crash

sounds like you are using pm2 as it restarts after crash

pm2 logs --lines=xxx
xxx is number of most recent lines, default 15

@Dexter1088 i deleted your post, as it exposed the calendar urls

please check and repost

maybe better

pm2 stop all
cd ~/MagicMirror
npm start &>somefile.txt

then ctrl-q to stop MagicMirror

edit the somefile. txt

@sdetweil
No worries I had the calendar URL changed in the last one
this one they are Calendar 1,2,3,4.

pm2 shows no instances running

@Dexter1088 do you have the fix on?

https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/19282/version-2-30-0-calendar-fix-for-clipping-broadcast-events

i dont see server restart

Dexter1088 · Feb 8, 2025, 2:45 AM

@sdetweil
I do, after some troubleshooting I think the error is with how I have the Calendar ext3 config setup.
Soon as I take this code out, everything works fine from browser and no resets.
I will look it over make sure I’m not doing something wrong.

/*/ CALENDAR EXT3
	
        {
            module: "MMM-CalendarExt3",
            pages: {
               
                calendar: "middle_center"
            },
            config: {
                mode: "month",
                instanceId: "Main_Calendar",

                },
                headerWeekDayOptions: {

sdetweil · Feb 8, 2025, 2:53 AM

@Dexter1088 broadcastPastEvents is a default cal parm

what is the pages:{} thing

not in ext3

Dexter1088 · Feb 8, 2025, 3:00 AM

@sdetweil

That’s the problem though, soon as I take out the pages, the web view works fine. something fishy with it. Weird it works on the Raspberry Pi directly just fine.

sdetweil · Feb 8, 2025, 3:04 AM

@Dexter1088 ok. thats not the correct config

if you use the classes approach
classes: at each module

otherwise the module names are in the page definitions
