Hi Sam, thank you for your quick reply. I wish you a happy new year!
I have tested your module and it runs without any problems. The CPU load is low when measured with htop.
As you mentioned, you can change the directory from which the images are read. Since I’m not the Linux specialist, I’d be grateful for a tip. I would prefer to read the images from a shared directory of my Synology NAS. Thank you!
Yours sincerely

RE: High CPU usage when using MMM-BackgroundSlideshow

High CPU usage when using MMM-BackgroundSlideshow
Hi All,
I’m using Raspberry Pi 4, 8GB, for my MM connected to a 4k TV. Following version of OS and MM are installed:- Raspberry Pi OS: Debian Linux 12 (bookworm)
- Magic Mirror: Version 2.25.0
- Electron: Version v26.6.3
The installation runs well. When MMM-BackgroundSlideshow ist installed and local stored pictures used for Background-Slideshow there ist a high CPU usage during the slide of the pictures. After some hours the pi freezes. The modules options are shown below.
I know, that in 2017 with earlier Versions of OS und MM there was a similar problem that could be fixed with a downgrade of electron, but it was a downgrade from 1.17.x to 1.14.x. Since then we have a big step in versions so I think that is not a solution.
I hope that there is an newer and better solution in relation to the actual versions of OS, MM and electron.
Please help!
Thanks in advance
