@Peter I found this issue when I attache this module into MM, due to the link is not very stable, and it stop working sometime. you could try other link (e.g. full), it will work.

@gshimself , there is still 8.5 G left on the 16G card.

@iMAGiC , what do you mean with " full"?
Is there a good link to the side of the earth with Europe?

@Peter
sorry, I meaning use hi-res url instead of it.
for example:

this.imageUrls = {
			'geoColor': 'http://rammb.cira.colostate.edu/ramsdis/online/images/latest_hi_res/himawari-8/full_disk_ahi_true_color.jpg',

@Peter I agree with the post about changing the link. I had the same problem then I changed sources and have had no issue.

@iMAGiC , I used your link: MM starts, I see half of the globe and MM stops, starts again with half of the globe and stops again; like a loop.
Maybe because I use a RPI 2?

@Peter I fixed this problem with improving my wifi signal/range!

Check your wifi signal quality if around 37/70 this will cause problems for sure, it should be at least above 45/70 or higher check your signal with:

sudo iwconfig wlan0

My bad wifi signal caused problems like not loading the globe images and freezing agenda items and not loading the newsfeed items.

Solutions are

1. Change the accespoint location or

2. Buy a WIFI USB adapter to improve the wifi range because the Pi 3 default wifi/bluetooth is very bad: Pi 3 Wifi problems or

3. DIY Modification option External antenna modifications for the Raspberry :Pi 3

Good Luck!

@Peter do you set updateInterval correctly?
btw, I use Pi 3 with LAN.

only thing is loading time is longer, but OK.

[Peter]

Wifi signal is 49/70.
I use the original update interval.
