can't get MMM-BackgroundSlideshow to load

[quarky42]

I can't get MM to run with MMM-BackgroundSlideshow configured. If I disable MMM-BackgroundSlideshow then MM runs just fine.

I am using one other fullscreen module: MMM-AutoDimmer

I updated MagicMirror today and tried to add it today.
MM is running as a systemd service with user account level permissions.

We'll call that user: someusername

I am using CloudBuddy with rclone to sync /home/someusername/MyGoogleDrive/SlideShowForMagicMirror directory containing .JPG images.

First question: Is this module sensitive to uppercase filenames? Is the problem that the files are .JPG and not .jpg?

My module config looks like this:

  {
    module: 'MMM-BackgroundSlideshow',
    position: 'fullscreen_below',
    config: {
      imagePaths: ['/home/someusername/MyGoogleDrive/SlideShowForMagicMirror'],
      transitionImages: true,
      maxWidth: 1920,
      maxHeight: 1080,
      randomizeImageOrder: true,
      recursiveSubDirectories: true,
      resizeImages: true,
      showAllImagesBeforeRestart: true,
      slideshowSpeed: 450,
      transitionSpeed: 2,
    }
  },

I've tried commenting out most of those configs keeping just the imagePaths, transitionImages, and recursiveSubDirectories (there are no subdirectories now, but I plan on adding them.)

My service logs look like this:

My config doesn't have any errors, but something wiht running BackgroundSlideshow is crashing electron.

I got it working by reinstalling and symbolic linking my user's image directory that I need to use into the MMM-modules/BackgroundSlideshow directory.

I'd much rather be able to just specify the path. The magicmirror service and the user directory are both owned by the same user.

EDIT: Nope! I see the config problem.... I didn't use "s" on the transition speed...I used an integer. Most modules I've configured to date use integers and not strings for speed settings. Not a problem, I just didn't catch my mistake.
