Yup, this is when I ran into the troubles.
Many thanks for the lift, sam.

Will close the issue as it is related to a ‘simple’ module install challenge …

XR

@sdetweil, you are correct.
I determined that the MMM-RTSPStream module is causing the problem for sure, by cross testing the two modules.

Am doing a new install of this as an update install via npm install in the appropriate module folder did not make it work again.

• re removing the screensaver/blank screen, do you know how to fix this as well?

Thank you for your help!

@sdetweil, thanks for your swift reply, will do.

@lavolp3
I will have to check that in the evening, as I have not yet disabled any of the modules.

• The mirror was restarted around 40 times over the last 48h (complete reboot as well as disconnecting the PSU for 30min or so).
• Did a couple of ‘npm start dev’ sessions as well. (but I only have limited understanding of what I am seeing in the dev window)
• Individually reinstalled a couple of the modules.
• Did ‘npm audit’ and ‘npm audit fix’ (0 vulnerabilities), plus ‘npm install’ in the MagicMirror folder (again, no problems)

I am struggling with the fact that everything worked fine up to one point, and without me doing anything it stops working smoothly.
If I did anything wrong, I would like to understand the why/how in order to avoid it in the future.

Going to post my findings here.

… and no, I did the manual install.

@sdetweil, did the inputs you recommended.

Any data I removed above from the output of the start script do not interfere with the problem.
The modules in question, RTSPStream+Calendar+Newsfeed work perfectly with the data I omitted.

Many thanks again, Sam, for looking into this.

Post note: Can the issue really be the EHOSTUNREACH ?
I have not removed the MMM-NetworkConnection module from the config.js file. Yet.

Many thanks, Sam!

Will do first thing in the morning.

Chaps,

After an uneventful (but lucky?) fresh install of MM2.10 plus adding some modules (Network-Connection, RSTPStream, Darksky Weather) everything worked nicely.
Remote access via WinSCP was working fine at any time as well.
Changes to any files are done using Notepad++.

However, several hours later trying to get the screensaver disabled (and no, I did not change the master autostart above the pi-folder structure, but in the pi-subdirectory structure), MM doesn’t start properly anymore.
Very long fetch times of data, resizing of the video stream does not occur anymore, etc.

Behaviour:

1. The pi is constantly shown on the router (access through WiFi).
2. MM can be accessed after a pi reboot as usual - it works perfectly.
   But after starting MM by using ‘npm start’ in the MagicMirror folder and closing MM using CTRL-Q, it does not allow
   me to access the Pi anymore. No login possible (‘Trying to connect to host’ … runs into the timeout)
3. Observation: Gathering data for the modules seem to slow down considerably when MM tries starting the
   MMM-NetworkConnection module which requires the speedtest done. Looking at this very module and resinstalling
   it with ‘npm install’ in the respective module folder, did not change the behaviour.

The npm log shows the following:

I tried t figure it out on my own and researched a lot of similar ELIFECYCLE issues in this forum and outside (but never with an error# 7), but I am not able get it right - most probably 'cause I am a Newbie in Linux …

While I do have a clean MM2.10-without-modules image I can resinstall, I would like to know what I did wrong (if indeed I did).
Can anybody please give me a hint, where to look at?

Chaps,
Pethaps again a newbie question, but how do I configure this module for Austria, spritpreisrechner?
Anything ‘special’ to consider?
I do not get an error message for the config.js, but I also do not get a populated list for my Diesel.
Do I need to specify the provider, or does the module do the look up based on my location?
Any hint/help is greatly appreciated.
Many thanks,
XR
