MMM-GoogleMapsTraffic freezes Magic Mirror

Ernst-Jan

I have te same probleem with the error MMM-GoogleMapsTraffic.js:77 Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property ‘length’ of undefined.

Do some one now what that means

I have the same issue. When I boot up the Magic Mirror in debug mode npm start dev & but the Chrome console tab tells me this nasty thing:

"You have included the Google Maps JavaScript API multiple times on this page." 
"This may cause unexpected errors."

However, everything looks perfectly nice on my MagicMirror.
All modules are successfully loaded, including “MMM-GoogleMapsTraffic”.

But on the next day, the latest my screen is entirely black.
It’s exactly the same thing as reported in this thread.

@drfukc it appears the api had trouble, and the module did not handle the error

@sdetweil
yes, that’s the case, the module is running fine until it turns the monitor black (after several hours).
There are more people in different threads having the same issue.
The module author does not seem to respond.
My workaround is a regular cron job restarting the MagicMirror.

@drfukc I am away til later today. I will look at it. One of my modules gets photos from google

Yep same I use cron job but would rather not have too, also this might be where all my ram goes as well, great if someone can look at this module

rename your existing folder out of the way
then, from MM/modules folder, git clone my repo, and restart MM
no changes to module config

@dazza120 said in MMM-GoogleMapsTraffic freezes Magic Mirror:

git pull https://github.com/sdetweil/MMM-GoogleMapsTraffic

no… cannot do that… cannot merge mine with the original
what i said in my prior most

rename your existing folder out of the way
then, from MM/modules folder, git clone my repo, and restart MM

u must git clone my repo … so you had to rename the old folder out of the way

from MagicMirror/modules

mv MMM-GoogleMapsTraffic MMM-GoogleMapsTraffic.original

then

git clone https://github.com/sdetweil/MMM-GoogleMapsTraffic.git
