If your heart is set on the Pi then the Pi3 is your best option, with Jessie. More importantly, IMHO, if you MUST use Stretch, DO NOT run rpi-update. You’ve been warned.
I stand warned and used Jessie! Thanks!!!
I can’t seem to figure out the code for remoteFile.
In config.js
{
module: “compliments”,
position: “lower_third”,
config: {
updateInterval: 1500,
remoteFile: "compliments.json"
}
The path for compliments.json is:
~/MagicMirror/modules/default/compliments

@juvesito USE JESSIE! I found the best way to do this is to go here and I selected the one from 03/03/2017 and downloaded the zip file then unzipped it and used Win32 or Etcher to write the image to the micro SD. You’ll still have to run the
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
commands but I’m still finding my way in the pi world, so I’m sure there’s an easier way. Anyways, no issues this way so far on Pi3 :)
Thank you! I have a Pi2 and Pi3 but was trying to decide Stretch vs Jessie. I could have installed manually but am pretty new to Pi so didn’t want to muck it. Like I said, started manually installing RetroPie manually only to get near the end and find Stretch was not compatible. Three days of research and troubleshooting (as am noob) to get me all sorted.
Am booting Jessie on Pi3 now, thanks again!
I’ve been searching the forum and I’m curious, what pi version do people have the most luck with? I see some incompatibility issues with Stretch? So is Jessie the best route to take?
I was going to use the auto installer command line and am trying to avoid some heartache out of the box (like when I had to kill my Stretch pi after trying to install RetroPie manually and the last line of code came back with Retro & I hate each other).
