Calendar and Newsfeed stop Updating after 1-2 hours
-
My Magic Mirror works and runs the default calendar, weather, and newsfeed modules as well as MMM-Cryptocurrency. I did the config check and it came back with proper syntax. Overall, everything works well, but I’ve noticed that my claendar stops updating after 1-2 hours and that my newsfeed also stops updating. I linked to an iCal URL. If I make a change to the calendar using another device, the changes will update on the Magic Mirror, but after MagicMirror has run for an hour or so it stops reflecting the changes. I left my MagicMirror running for a week and events that were 5-6 days ago were listed as occurring tomorrow.
It also was running the previous weeks’ headlines. I’m not sure if they’re doing the same thing as the calendar and updating for 1-2 hours, then stopping, or if they just do an initial load and never update.
The MMM-Cryptocurrency and weather modules do update appropriately. If I close and restart MagicMirror everything starts off up to date and then after an hour or two it appears the calendar and newsfeed stop updating.
I’m sure there’s a smart way to look in a logfile and see what’s going on, but I didn’t see anything obvious. I checked the messages when I quit the Magic Mirror application, and I also browsed through the logfiles under ~/Pi/.rpi/logs/. Nothing jumped out at me, but I’m more or less self taught on Linux and have no real idea what I’m doing. Any help is appreciated.

If you’re using
pm2, you can usepm2 logsto view the server logs (or view them directly in~/.pm2/logs).You can also use
npm start devto start in dev mode and see the browser (client) console (be sure to stop the PM2 process first, e.g.pm2 stop mm). -
Not sure if this applies to you, but I had problems with updating the calendar. Turns out I had to change the wifi channel -> https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/4193/calendar-not-updating-after-changing-to-wifi-ssid/3
