A newbie asking for help :smiling_face_with_open_mouth_cold_sweat:</p>
<p dir="auto">I’ve encountered an issue in which the screen will start to “flash/glitch” after 10 or so minutes of otherwise perfectly fine operation. Link below:</p>
<p dir="auto"><a href="https://youtu.be/y-Qid6nDPNc" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc">Magic Mirror Glitch</a></p>
<p dir="auto">Now, here are some things that I have tried to troubleshoot:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p dir="auto">Read somewhere that it could be a hardware issue with the pi itself. I switched to another pi I had from an old project and tested it on that. Exact same issue, and I know that pi should be fine.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p dir="auto">Tried connecting to a different monitor. Same thing was replicated on that monitor too.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p dir="auto">I stopped the mirror (pm2 stop mm) and left the pi running to see if it would happen anyway. Without the Magic Mirror running, it did not glitch.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p dir="auto">output of <strong>pm2 log MagicMirror</strong>:</p>

That link totally did the trick.</p>
<p dir="auto">At the end of the day, it turned out to be that HDMI issue. All I had to do was use the Open GL driver instead of the fake one and use Xrandr to rotate the screen after the fact.</p>
<p dir="auto">So far it has run smoothly without any incident. I’m gonna mark this as solved.</p>

As you are operating your mm in portrait mode, maybe it is an performance issue.</p>
<p dir="auto">Here is a link you can try <a href="https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/9707/save-performance-when-rotating-screen-e-g-on-raspberry-pi">https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/9707/save-performance-when-rotating-screen-e-g-on-raspberry-pi</a></p>
<p dir="auto">Maybe this helps.</p>
