MMM-Scoreboard, screen all black

carlslylike1

I added MMM Scoreboard, My screen shows all black. Not the “error config file” screen black, just plain black. Not frozen.

I’ve added apps before with no issue. I even tried to copy-paste the “sample configuration” in the file - just in case my preferred configuration was flawed - but the same black screen.

Anyone familiar with this?

@carlslylike1

so in the window where u start mm,
npm start
or
pm2,

what are the messages we could examine?

@sdetweil Screen all black when I add the default MMM-Scoreboard to config. Message flagged as spam so I’ll have to break it up

Here is the message from pm2_MagicMirror

@carlslylike1 weird, never seen anything produce a message about the json file
do

pm2 logs --lines=50

@sdetweil ok so lots of junk in here.

I should mention this is the FUNCTIONAL version (no MMM-Scoreboard code in config file - and everything is working as before I attempted to add it)

[1] via signal [SIGINT]
PM2 | 2021-04-09T08:38:31: PM2 log: App [MagicMirror:0] starting in -fork mode-

@carlslylike1 ok, stop mm…

pm2 stop all

then clear the log

pm2 flush

u MAY need to check and disable the calendar logging

in config.js

logLevel: ["INFO", "LOG", "WARN", "ERROR"],

then start MM again

pm2 start 0

@sdetweil just going to get rid of the scoreboard app. Never had these issues with any others and don’t want it to mess up what was functional previously.

Thank you for the help

@carlslylike1 Next time, try to provide the config entry and the two modules around it so we can debug it.
Also, look into the link in my signature for troubleshooting advice.
My first troubleshooting action would be

npm run config:check

and send the resuls here if you don’t understand yourself

@lavolp3 I did try, and the forum said “spam detected” and wouldn’t post it. I do appreciate the quick responses and the help

@carlslylike1 Interesting. Never experienced this while posting config extracts.
