Hi

Yes, I did found a solution. :thumbs_up:
I consider it as a workaround but I’ll mark this thread as resolved.

I setup a cron job (crontab -e) on the raspberry pi which is running the magic mirror:

*/30 6-22 * * * tvservice --preferred
35 22 * * * tvservice --off
55 5 * * * tvservice --preferred

From 6 am til 10:30 pm it powers on the HDMI port with preferred settings. At 10:35 pm the HDMI display is switched off and switched on at 5:55 am.

It avoids the issue described above but it is not the solution I had in mind at the beginning.

I also ordered a banana pi M3 which is more powerfull (ARM cortex A7). Hopefully it will finally solve this issue.

kind regards

Hi,
How is the result with your Banana Pi? Did you try it yet?

I have the same problem with flicking after it reaches 65 degrees C. I’m also wondering if you have any cooling attached to you Pi?

Hi, would love to try this module but I keep failing installing it.
First of all I have quite many messages after npm install. Newbie as I am I tried npm audit fix to fix vulnerabilities. Still had a few (not high) vulnerabilities.

What happens is the nothing of this module comes up.

Tried again by deleting the module folder and installing again.

Druing npm install:
npm notice created a lockfile as package-lock.json. You should commit this file.

I was playing with another module MMM-RTSPStream and I had to switch to wip develop branch. Is this my problem now?

I made it work.

I tried again and did a npm audit fix --force this time (without knowing what I actually do).
I may have pressed ctrl + z first time, this time i pressed crtl + c (which means I didnt stop service. I think?).
Now it’s working as it should.
