    @ember1205 no… I have seen the slow paint issue myself many times…

    electron is having some painting problem… again we are on 3.0.13, no longer supported since way back…

    I had tried to get us to 6.0.12 this release, but the test system failed, and they removed this change from the 2.10 release
    (but I have seen paint problems on 6.0.12 too)

    u can try this manually

    cd ~/MagicMirror
    npm install electron@6.0.12
    

    What I saw seemed to be different from a “slow paint” issue - it painted the top half and stopped. It sat there for a few seconds and then the image switched to the next one.

    While upgrading manually would certainly get me to something newer for Electron, it puts me in the position of not having a “standard install” for future troubleshooting and such. It’s a double-edged sword…

      yes, interrupted paint… could be same issue, or … (the ‘not quite single threaded’ problem again
      got interrupted, never came back)

        from our text messages, I think this was caused by the bug u found on image update scheduling…
        I have fixed that now (thanks by the way, been looking for it for over a year now)

          I don’t know that I deserve any credit here as I just passed along an observation after you modified your code based on a question I had about whether it was possible to do something. Glad you found and corrected something you had been chasing, though.

            @ember1205 passing on observations is what it’s all about! Many eyes looking see different things. All contribute to the whole view.
