@bmadeira it’s the pi running out of memory, not sure what is using all of it, I use cronjob to restart mm every 12 hours

@frogywill can you not just get a frost cover for the LED strip? Yeah I put a fan on mine and used the usb power from the TV so only when the TV’s on the fan will work

@sdetweil I take it, it has more ram than the Pi too? Which could be why you’ve not experienced it

@sdetweil what is the update times on the maps? Are you using a Pi?

It’s taken a day or so before it went black, but something is burning the ram it hovers on 4% to 5% free memory

Does steam not get to the back of it? If you could defuse the led spots it would look even more amazing 😉 great job i like, couldn’t do that on mine as it weighs a ton already lol

@Mykle1thanks, sure does feel good, my mirror has been going on to long, still need to work out how to mount it while having it accessible for maintenance 🤔

@AImirror cheers

It’s only taken a over a year lol. So a mate of mine made the frame, I’ve got to work out how I’m going to mount it and so I can open it to service it on the wall so I’ve not finished yet. But here it is be gentle and PS I’m still doing DIY in this room lol. Resizing pics is killing the pic quality 🤦🏾‍♂️😭

So finally got all the kit in Pilkington 50/50 glass, google mini, eve smart plug to turn the PI on and off if all goes wrong, Logitech harmony, Apple TV,PS4 MagicEye stripped out for mics, 5port 1GB switch and a PI with big power supply,

Finished just waiting for the place to get skimmed it was a busy day 😂

I use the Harmony with google to turn the TV on and off and to switch between hdmi ports.

@sdetweil done mate testing it now

@sdetweil I’m getting this when I try to do my that

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

@seramik thanks but as said I already have a method of turning to TV off I just wanted the hdmi to stay live, as said it’s the mmm-voice that was the issue/cause

@sdetweil it’s mmm-voice when I tell it to hide the module the feed goes eventually, I just left it on and turned off the monitor and everything is good so we are all good :) thanks

Hi guys I’m nearing completion of my magic mirror but since this new update my magic mirror turns off the HDMI out put which displays the ugly No Signal, I need the HDMI to be powered all the time as I’m turning the monitor off so I just need a dumb HDMI. I have disabled the pi screen saver with Xscreensaver but this seems like a new thing added to the new update of MagicMirror. Can someone help it’s driving me mad as the only way to get it back is to reboot the PI

@CluelessGenius go for SSD that’s how mine is booting

@qu1que don’t know I had the same thing but I had to delete the JS for it to go on, then it didn’t work with the new JS so I managed to get the JS out of the waste bin and it’s back working again but measuring in kelvin.

@bachoo786 hi mate I’ve got a cronjob running at 0400 and 1600 to stop it locking up I’ve just noticed the new one2.7.1 starting to eat the memory as I’ve disabled the cronjob to check out the latest down to 9% after 10hours. So it needs the restarts.

Terminal
Type. Crontab -e
Put times below the line below

m h dom mon dow command

0 4 * * * pm2 reload mm
0 16 * * * pm2 reload mm

@Sean Thanks Sean no only one folder, so think we are sorted thank you.

@Sean is there a way of me knowing what version of MM is running? Only one version is running now according to pm2 list, so thank you, but I want to make sure I’m running the correct version to stop the cron jobs running as the old elctron killed it after a few hours.
