      @sdetweil yes link is mounted correctly i can see the picture files in ‘ls /mnt/samba/myPicFrame/’ - infact MM is starting with those picture correctly but after a while (may be 10-15 min) screen is going blank.
      so i guess mount of the network share is correct but something else blanking the screen after a while.

      thanks for your response. please help further.

      Thanks, Pratap

        @palp the module produces logging to where npm start is done

        if using pm2, then

        pm2 logs --lines=xxxx
        xxxx most recent line count, default 15

          @palp also if you have a mouse or keyboard…
          does that wake it up?

          and then the developers console (if the browser is still alive)
          ctrl-shift-i
          select the console tab

            @sdetweil thanks again.
            ref attached image for the log line - it is reading the networkshare/*.jpg and showing something ‘stream closed’ not sure if that is an issue or not
            dca426f7-7a49-4947-91de-21e2708f2dbe-image.png

            then i attached a keyboard and black screen does not wake by keystroke, however mouse pointer moves on black screen.
            also ctrl+shift+i does nothing however ctrl+m is minimizing the MM window and showing desktop.

                    @palp i had a case like that a few years ago. one of the images was misformatted (actually 3 of 6,000)

                    i edited it and saved it again and it was ok after that

                      @sdetweil yes you are right - i’ve removed all 50+ jpg files and started with couple of them and looks like its working i mean screen is not going blank even after longer time - as expected.

                      now i need to find which jpg file(s) is bad and causing this and put them back.

                      anyway thanks for your help!

                        @palp the error message tells you which jpg…

                        may have to cycle thru them on screen…
