Black screen after some time

[Hakupapa]

Hey there,

I have installed the mirror new two or three month ago. Since this time I become black screens after some time. The Mirror doesn´t crash, the screen just turn to black. My old Mirror (1 year old) with same modules but without any updates does not have this problem. So I think the reason could be an update. Does anyone else knows this problem and a solution. I´ve tried different things (os update, MM update) but it is becoming worser.

here my pm2 log without black screen

Now I am wating for the next black screen, then I will post the logfile again.

Here is the log after black screen. Putty already works so I think the pi is not crashed:

Maybe it has to do with MMM-Images Photos and problems with some jpg Files. Does anybody has an idea?

[Hakupapa]

I´ve tried to change the fotos into the same format 1280x1024 and I´ve changed the ending *.jpeg to *.jpg. Now the mirror runs since three days without black screen. I hope the problem is solved.

I have been having this issue as well. I discussed this in another thread

I have always had this issue as I am new to running a Magic Mirror. It looks like there may have been a memory leak introduced in version 2.4.0 which persisted to version 2.5.0 . My only solution has been to implement a cron job to reload magic mirror every 5 hours (suggested by @MadScientist ). I’ve considered downgrading to a pre-2.4.0 build (haven’t checked to see if it’s even available). For now I’ll deal with it via the reloads.
