Hello. So ever since ive had my mirror the mirror will always go blank after about 8-10 hours of being on. I did have a notification about updating Magicmirror software which i did and it did not fix the issue. then did some research about updating node.js which i did. None of these have fixed the mirror from going blank after several hours. When the mirror goes blank i am able to move the mouse around and see the cursor. Only way to fix it is to quit the program and restart it. Has anybody had this issue or know a work around to stop it going blank on me?

@ tbs86 ia this on a pi? I had to do this https://wpitchoune.net/tricks/raspberry_pi3_increase_swap_size.html and reboot to stop my frequent black screens. then I added this module to record more info https://github.com/shbatm/MMM-Logging

If it was the MMM-GoogleMapsTraffic module that you’re seeing errors with, I had to comment out the console.log line noted in this commit, which fixed the black screen issue I was having. https://github.com/vicmora/MMM-GoogleMapsTraffic/pull/24/commits/90f51f6f7a155241a4371106ea3ca899b20a7380
