by a “custom compliments module”
I said custom compliments configuration, not module
so, yes, u are, as u are supplying the compliment strings in a file…
can we see that file… is it the in the compliments module folder? (it must be)
and for linux systems the filename case matters, and must match EXACTLY whatever u specify int her remoteFile: config option -

custom compliments module
do you mean configuration? is this remoteFile: in the config?
is that file in the compliments modules folder? it must be.

@max @hedmik
have either of you verified your file format, with one of the online json validators?I like this one a lot

@sdetweil
Yes. File is “remote_compliments.json” and is in the compliments folder. (As I mentioned in the prev post, it had all been working ok w/ my Pi Zero W under Stretch)Also, interesting enough, I do use \n in my remote file, and under Stretch and the previous version of MM it did not format the line return on the screen, and I noticed that right off after this most recent load on the RP3.
Snippet from config.js:
{ module: "compliments", position: "bottom_bar", config: { updateInterval: 300000, //30000 = 30 seconds fadeSpeed: 4000, remoteFile: "remote_compliments.json", classes: "thin medium bright" } }Here’s remote_compliments.json:

ok, you do not appear to be having the problem with compliments that the other user was having…
u have troubles with crash/hang…
I don’t use that module for background images.
I have loaded it for testing… don’t see any problem ‘yet’!

@sdetweil
Well, woke today to another frozen screen.The only modules running were: clock, calendar, currentweather, weatherforecast, and mmm-nest-status. It was running most of the day yesterday with just the first 4 modules, so I added in mmm-nest-status.
I’ll roll it back to just the 1st 4 default modules again, and see if that will run 24 hours.
As mmm-nest-status appears pretty light weight and has no “npm install” requirements, this still may be an incompatibility between Buster and Electron…

or a bug in the module…
will look later
-
Getting ridiculous.
Remove mmm-nest-status. Was only running: clock, calendar, currentweather, and weatherforecast. And THAT locked up.
Now removed weatherforecast also.
-
In the end I was never able to get Electron to run properly under MM2 on my Pi3B+ under Buster. My only “solution” has been to run MM in serveronly mode, and then load Chromium separately from a script. This seems to be pretty stable.
-
@max64 with release 2.10, all you have to do is set serverOnly: local in config.js
And it will do that split mode for you.We are running such an old electron version.
