Keeps crashing #44

Closed patrickmac110 closed 8 months ago

patrickmac110 commented 10 months ago

We have about 20 hue fixtures that we control for several hours once a week and also we usually change all of these all at once. I have the dmx-hue app running on a raspberry pi. About once every week, the program crashes and just stops working. We're running the pi in a headless mode, so I'm not able to see any outputs when this happens, so I'm wondering if there are any logs and where/how to find those.

You could always redirect the log output to a file dmx-hue > logs.txt 2>&1 this way any logs would be written to the logs.txt file, and that may help understand what's causing the crash. If you happen to get the logs with the error, please post it here.

I just started using this. I too am having regular crashing. Here's my terminal output. It crashed in less than a minute every time. Only two fixtures running on a fairly modern PC. 0 DMX addresses on universe 0: 1: Hue color lamp 1 (Hue ID: 2) 4: Hue color lamp 2 (Hue ID: 3)

ArtNet node started (CTRL+C to quit) /usr/lib/node_modules/dmx-hue/node_modules/node-hue-api/lib/api/http/Transport.js:75 throw new ApiError(errors[0]); ^

ApiError: Internal error, 404 at /usr/lib/node_modules/dmx-hue/node_modules/node-hue-api/lib/api/http/Transport.js:75:17 { _hueError: HueError { payload: { message: 'Internal error, 404', type: 901, address: '/lights/2/state/effect', description: 'Internal error, 404' } } }

Node.js v20.9.0

edit: changing qlcplus from DMX control to function control with thresholds removed the immediate crashes. Probably due to the reduced number of transitions being sent to dmx-hue.

Thanks for the log! There's nothing I can do about fixing the upstreaming issue, as it's probably related to the bridge being temporarily unavailable or overloaded, but at least I can catch the error and prevent dmx-hue from crashing. Will try to fix it ASAP.
