@rts58 i did not add error reporting yet, this should keep it
from stalling

@rts58 the prior code started the timer only after
image was loaded. but we have already waited timeout time
so we can get the next image

@rts58 just pushed the updated code, git pull in the module folder
logs an error record to the dev window console on load fail, with the url of the failing image

@rkorell yes, pm2 save will ‘save’ the config for use later

this cron feature is new to me. so I haven’t tested what you need to do…
read their doc

@sil3ntstorm sadly this happens on system crash, there is no recovery mechanism.

i advise everyone to backup ( i fail sometimes too!, recovering my home automation system now, my backup was old)
use my backup/restore scripts
https://github.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror-backup-restore

@Bobba86 flash the SD card, use the installer script, listed as alternative

@chris47803

Ja, ich wette, Sie haben Node.js nicht wie für diese Version erforderlich überprüft und aktualisiert. Bitte verwenden Sie mein Upgrade-Skript.

see https://github.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts

@KristjanESPERANTO can you help here?

@rkorell oops, never can remember when i need to use underscore vs dash! thanks for the catch!

@Volkae ok, did you do the apply ?

do

node -v
cd ~/MagicMirror 
grep version package.json

MagicMirror version should be 2.31.0

@p1lspeda just fyi, if you use the upgrade script it will npm install all the modules that have a package.json with dependencies after completing the MagicMirror upgrade

@rkorell i tried that a long time ago , but wasnt happy

this time better, ill have to figure out some parms cause 2017 results before 2025 is not helpful either

@nowayto ok, I’ve found the error producer
and I’ll propose a fix…

I think this might have been more useful lol

[ERROR] fatal error in /home/sam/MagicMirror/config/config.js at line 19 column 1,  _ is not defined

I opened
https://github.com/MagicMirrorOrg/MagicMirror/issues/3785

for this issue

@nowayto if you have everything working, you can rm it

i was just saying you could prove this change would fix the prior install

i do this for fun, really! pay it forward, help someone else on whatever when you can.

@rkorell I meet the most amazing people, with the most amazing ideas… and I get to help them?!

what more can you ask for?!

@Jabl0 thanks for the info,

there were two issues in older code

1. loaded too many images into browser, slow creep. this is working storage size. i think this is fixed, but the failure seems indicative
2. a bad image, which caused a hang but not black screen

i will add the memory space debugging to this module, will let you know for update

@lvolkjr I copied your config and changed to my apikey and it worked as expected… (On windows 11)
maybe you have missed a character in the apikey at the start or end on a copy/paste

@ByronJames never seen this happen

What OS is this??

Technically a second instance should fail as the port is in use by the first instance.

@plainbroke i click the screen and it goes to center

i dont see why the image is scrunched and stretched

this is all the time i can invest in this

@schlomm said in Issues with MMM-Button:

@sdetweil You’ve said that I only need to change some settings in the rasp-config. Do you have any additional information what needs to be changed?

I updated my post, I was incorrect
