      I have a compliments.json file on a remote server for the Compliments module loading that.
      It worked in the beginning but after changing the language of MM2 from en to zh-cn, compliments cannot load the remote file then.
      I have tried:

      • reboot
      • change back to en
      • reinstall MM2
      • update npm

      but they all didn’t solve the issue.
      I also found after that MM2 will be frozen (the clock is not running, the news feed won’t refresh), after launching MM2 for a while.
      If put all compliments in the config without using remoteFile, everything works fine.

      {
      			module: "compliments",
      			position: "lower_third",
      			config: {
      				compliments: {
      					remoteFile: "http://remoteServerAddress/compliments.json"
      				                          }
      			             }
      }
      

      And my compliments.json:

      {
          "anytime": ["Expelliarmus"]
      }
      

      Need some help, thanks!

        @kuqquk open the developers window, ctrl-shift-i on the mirror keyboard, select the tab labeled console, and scroll up to see any errors…

        that param is OUTSIDE the compliments:{} file values

        {
        			module: "compliments",
        			position: "lower_third",
        			config: {
                                         remoteFile: "http://remoteServerAddress/compliments.json"
        			}
        }

          @sdetweil Thanks! I found the issue is that,

          access to XMLHttpRequest at remoteServerAddress from origin ‘http://localhost:8080’ has been blocked by cors policy: No ‘Access-Control-Allow-Origin’ header is present on the requested resource.

          Trying to figure this now…
