Newsfeeder is going way to fast when showing news

fribse

@sdetweil Ok, I finally got it tested again.
If I go to my computer and open the webpage via remote it shows the right interval (this was what I did earlier), and the news cycles slowly as it should.
But on the raspberry pi, it still races through the news.
I haven’t restarted the Rpi just to keep the problem, but for me it’s not an easy test on the RPi itself, as the RPi is of course behind the mirror and headless.

I assume that for some reason some intervals are going crazy during runtime. The problem is gone, if you refresh the page, but it may come again after an uncertain time.

As a workaround, till a solution is found

crontab -e
@daily sudo reboot

this will reboot the pi every night at 00:00 am.

@sdetweil I opened a Github issue for that: https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/issues/2638

I got the same issue since 2.16.
I have one image from 2.15 - no problem so far!

The strange thing… first after boot. It working some time like i should… Later… you see the news flashing… so the mirror is mostly black then.

Im using also MM-Pages tho flip to another page every minute.

No need to reboot the whole pie

We found the reason for that issue. A fix is merged into the develop branch.
