Modules stop work over time

I made a npm debug, if thats what you mean… Heres is some error, but I don’t know how to fix or if it is this making the troubles…

16 error enoent and is related to npm not being able to find a file.

In mm-out.log I find this
Whoops! There was an uncaught exception…
MagicMirror will not quit, but it might be a good idea to check why this happened. Maybe no internet connection?
If you think this really is an issue, please open an issue on GitHub: https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/issues -

Thing is, once it’s up and running, things just remain in memory and run. The only time it will restart is if the entire thing crashes. But you can check on that by typing in
'pm2 list'and look at the restarts column. If you are seeing a lot of restarts, then something else is going on that’s causing it to crash. Mine’s been running stable for the past almost 30 days now (I haven’t been active on my mirror with coding nor updates, life took over.)How things stop, specifically data being requested, is if there is a momentary network issue that the task could not reach the internet. However, even that will rectify itself at the next poll … If I disconnect my rpi from the network, eventually things like the calendar, newsfeed, and weather will all stop responding. When I reconnect it, they will all eventually refresh and start working again. So I don’t know what could be causing yours to simply quit.

@KirAsh4 The only restarts it shows is my manual restarts with pm2 restart mm command. Otherwise it does not crash. The modules just stop answer. And at the same time the news-ticker still works…
Could it be so that the memory is overflooded somehow?
-
Not unless you have a bunch of other stuff running on your rpi. What happens if you run only the default configuration and modules? Do any of those stop responding after a while, and what exactly happens, what does the display say or do?
-
@KirAsh4 The only thing i run besides MM is Pi-hole.
The Scrobbler-plugin has never lived for a longer time. It works for a few songs, maybe an album and when a song ends it just disappears. No error messages or something on the screen. If i pm2 restart mm it again, it works for a few songs again.
When RandomPhoto stops working, it freezes on an image, like it comes to an end of a stack. (Maybe it does?)
Clock and news seems to work all the time.
Could it be that file package.json?
-
Yeah, neither of those are default packages (that I could help you with.) Perhaps this is something you need to take to the respective authors and have them help you track down what the problem could be. It sounds like MM and its default modules are working just fine, so this is something that happens outside of it (specifically with those modules you mentioned.)
As a side query: why do you need pi-hole on the rpi? None of the default modules display ads, unless you’re actively using the rpi as a desktop computer and browse the internet with it.
-
@KirAsh4 Well, I suppose that is my next step then…
I use it to block out ads throughout my network. I set it as a dns in the router. It filters ads quiet nice. From web and in apps.
The MM install was to make use of my display I bought with some nifty information.
