After MM runs for >24 hours, MMM-wiki begins pulling multiple articles per second

[reeserich]

After I leave MagicMirror on for >24 hours (haven't been able to pinpoint an exact time at which this starts happening), it appears my update Interval (currently set at one minute) gets bypassed and updates start occuring very frequently, to the point where a snippet isn't even fully loaded before the next one is displayed. This is fixed by stopping and restarting MagicMirror.

Late, but I have a similar issue. In my case - I'm using the pages plugin, and a PIR to suspend the plugins if no one is around - I think it has to do with the used interval. I replaced it with a timeout and so far it seems to avoid multiple clashing calls, when the plugin shows up again.

shin10, can you elaborate on what you exactly did to avoid this problem?

[shin10]

You can have a look at my fork here: master...shin10:MMM-wiki:master

It's working well for me but I hadn't created a pull request, yet, due to the "complexity" of my MM configuration (actually I can't remember why). ;)
I'll do so if you can verify it solves the issue in your setup as well.

Thanks, I will try and report back in a few days from now.

I brought about the changes in the MMM-wiki.js file and restarted. It now fetches two articles and then displays the last one for the given period. I'll wait for another 24h to see if it stays that way.

I am sorry to report that this change did not work well for me. Two times restarted and two times a crash after about one hour. I will revert to the old version that kept working for longer :-)

[shin10]

Strange. Just out of curiousity: have you also removed the setup function like I did? I ask because I don't think two articles should be fetched at startup like you mentioned before.

[gjmkoper]

Hmm, I'm not sure what you mean. I use the standard setup from which I remove the center message (Hello Sexo or so) and switch to Dutch. How do I proceed to now have in the center the wiki messages?
My system is experimental, RPi4 with standard installation. I can do whatever you want me to try as long as it can be done in that environment.

[shin10]

Sorry, I was referring to the start function in line 195

[gjmkoper]

Yes, I did.

[gjmkoper]

To be specific, I used the file here.
