FPPD stopped

[wilkija]

I noticed this morning that FPPD stopped running about 30 minutes before the scheduled stop time for the show.  I'm running 7.3 a4434abb and I went ahead and updated to the latest this morning because I saw e42bf0cd said "Fix a bunch of memory leaks".

Any ideas if the fixes in the latest and what I saw last night are related?  Here is the relevant info that I saw in the logs -

Seems like people have went silent after upgrading to 7.3.6, which implies it is resolving some issues.  I would suggest letting it run a few days and report back any new problems that come up.

I was on 7.3.6, but this evening GUI says FPPD not running and lights frozen at one spot. FPP would not reboot. Crossing fingers even more on 7.4 that these issues are resolved. https://falconchristmas.com/forum/index.php?topic=16583.new#new

Several people including myself have had Falcon lockup issues running on firmware build 27.  If you have Falcon controllers, make sure you are on the latest firmware build 30.  The firmware issues have not caused FPPD errors that I am aware of though.
