icloud photos stop changing/ updating
sluggg opened this issue · comments
Thanks for your help yesterday getting icloud photos working.
Unfortunately I face another issue.
The photos work and load fine changing every min and then after a period of time the photos stop changing and remain stuck on a single image until I close and reopen the mirror software or force reload?
Thanks again for all help
I switched my source to an iCloud album and let it run all day, it never stopped. Does it always stop on the same image? How large are your images? I know some people had similar issues a while back with large images from /r/earthporn, they were running out of memory, iirc.
I have the same issue, it stopped changing at the different image, then I will have to restart the magic mirror so it went back to normal. all the images where take with my iPhone, so they are probably around 5 or 6 MB?
Are you able to look at the console output from the browser, or the log output of the magicmirror server? Without being able to reproduce it locally, I can't tell what's going wrong.
Sorry I am not a tech guy, can you be more specific on how to check the console output from the browser please? Thanks
In chrome:
- Press ctrl+shift+j to bring up the developer console
- Switch to the Network tab so it will record requests
- Wait for requests to fail
- See if there are requests that are now failing to complete
- Switch to the console tab to see if there are error messages
Finally I figured it out: I have to use npm start server to go into server mode, then I can use browser to see the mirror by going to localhost:8080
I am waiting for error to come up so I can send you the error message, thanks
It got stuck again this morning. There is no error message in the console though. See the attached screen:
If you switch to the network tab (click the >> to show it), does it show any failed requests?
No I did not see any failed requests for wallpaper
Are there any errors in the terminal where you ran npm start server?
[24.09.2021 03:47.36.474] [ERROR] Failed to fetch git data for MMM-Wallpaper: Error: fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com/kolbyjack/MMM-Wallpaper.git/': Could not resolve host: github.com
If DNS has stopped working, it would make sense that the wallpapers stop loading
Any suggestions on how to solve the DNS problem?
That's a system issue, unfortunately, I really don't have any suggestions
Give latest a try, I think this should be fixed now
