I started going down the path of trying to update the javascript issues when I discovered that your fork fixed them already. I uninstalled the original and installed yours and I haven’t had the black screen once since.

I’m back up and running again though and so far so good! I’ll post back with logs if I get black screens again. Thanks for your help!
