MMM-BackgroundSlideshow

Now I thought it was solved, but after about 1 hour the screen was black again. I had to stop the MagicMirror with pm2 stop 0 and then restart it with pm2 start 0.

I also changed the size from 100 to 1024.

What else can it be?

sudo dphys-swapfile swapoff
sudo nano /etc/dphys-swapfile / (changed size 1024)
sudo dphys-swapfile swapon

This morning, the mirror was dark again.

This is the memory output

pi@raspberrypi_1:~ $ free -m
              total        used        free      shared  buff/cache   available
Mem:            925         220         391           1         313         653
Swap:          1023         118         905

Edit: The mirror was stopped and started and after 15min he was dark again …

I seem to have found the mistake. I have selected one to quality of photos for playing the photos (4mb per photo). The fact that I have chosen a lower quality of the photos, the problem is gone.

@CyruS1337 interesting, i use MMM-ImagesPhotos, and have lots of images over 4meg, most in the 11-13 meg range

CyruS1337

Yes, that’s really interesting. But since I let the pictures play with max 1-2 MB, the mirror was never black anymore. Although I did the elevation of SWAP.

Hello,

I’m new to magic mirror. Since two weeks I try to get MMM-ImagesPhotos or MMM-BackgroundSlideshow to work with the photos of my camera (all pictures are JPEG with 5 to 10 meg).

Like @CyruS1337 the whole mirror goes black, if I use my photos but works if I use the example-pictures.

@sdetweil :
How did you get this to work with your pictures?
Could you post your config (including tweeks you did) and tell us which pi you are using?

I was so desperate that I looked for alternatives. I found pi3d but couldn’t integrate it into magic mirror.

I would really appreciate your help.

Best regards
