… and no, I did the manual install.

@xray2607 The error log rather hints to your streaming module being the issue

[06:29:36.399] [ERROR]  TypeError: Cannot convert undefined or null to object
    at Function.keys ()
    at stopProcs (/home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-RTSPStream/node_helper.js:469:32)
    at pm2.list (/home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-RTSPStream/node_helper.js:498:17)

Have you tried deactivating that one and restarting the mirror?
Maybe there’s a problem with both modules disturbing each other for some reason?

@lavolp3
I will have to check that in the evening, as I have not yet disabled any of the modules.

• The mirror was restarted around 40 times over the last 48h (complete reboot as well as disconnecting the PSU for 30min or so).
• Did a couple of ‘npm start dev’ sessions as well. (but I only have limited understanding of what I am seeing in the dev window)
• Individually reinstalled a couple of the modules.
• Did ‘npm audit’ and ‘npm audit fix’ (0 vulnerabilities), plus ‘npm install’ in the MagicMirror folder (again, no problems)

I am struggling with the fact that everything worked fine up to one point, and without me doing anything it stops working smoothly.
If I did anything wrong, I would like to understand the why/how in order to avoid it in the future.

Going to post my findings here.

ok, before changing anything else.

the manual update (git pull & npm install) leaves out a crucial step… if any of the modules need dependencies,then THEY ALSO need an npm install cycle done in their folders…

so, look thru all the module folders, if any contain a package.json file, then run npm install in each folder that does

please do check and update as required

i see both MMM-RTSPStream and MMM-NetworkConnection have that file…
MMM-RTSPStream is the module to put out the message right before the error… so… its likely that is the problem

[xray2607]

@sdetweil, thanks for your swift reply, will do.

[xray2607]

@sdetweil, you are correct.
I determined that the MMM-RTSPStream module is causing the problem for sure, by cross testing the two modules.

Am doing a new install of this as an update install via npm install in the appropriate module folder did not make it work again.

• re removing the screensaver/blank screen, do you know how to fix this as well?

Thank you for your help!

Yup, this is when I ran into the troubles.
Many thanks for the lift, sam.

Will close the issue as it is related to a ‘simple’ module install challenge …
