No longer working with latest MagicMirror

[kellogg76]

Having used this module for the last year or so without issue, it's unfortunate that the latest MM doesn't play nicely with any longer.

With this module active in my config.js file my screen give me a "Something went wrong displaying this web page" error after a period of time. If I VNC into the headless Pi and refresh the page it loads fine, then after a period of time it drops back to the error again.

I've tried deleting and re-installing the module.

How long does it take before giving the error?

I haven't timed it accurately but I'd say less than thirty minutes. If you want an accurate time I can do that for you, just let me know.

I'm not seeing this behavior. Have you tried commenting out the plugin and see if you still get the error?

[kellogg76]

If I have the plugin in the config file as below, after exactly 20 minutes I get the error :

{
    module: 'MMM-BackgroundSlideshow',
    position: 'fullscreen_below',
    config: {
      imagePaths: ['modules/MMM-BackgroundSlideshow/exampleImages/'],
      transitionImages: true,
      randomizeImageOrder: true
    }
  }

If I remove it and restart the Magic Mirror via

pm2 restart mmstart

everything is fine for days.

Seeing similar issue after upgrading MM. Only upgraded to get rid of the annoying messages on the screen to upgrade :(

I try re-installing this plugin periodically hoping it's been updated but haven't got it working without throwing the error since I first reported the issue in January. Are you using a Pi Zero by any chance?

It's a 3B+, but I do have a Zero with the same environment that I can test. I just get a black on my background. I do like this module, bummed it's not working.

OK, I wondered if it was a Pi Zero only issue, but if you're seeing the same on a 3B+ then that's not it.

Does yours work initially then error out after about 20 minutes or not work at all?
