@DarrenHill Thanks for bringing this to my attention. Seems like the QR code is the culprit. Will advise once I get a chance to have a look and push a fix for it.

[mumblebaj]

@DarrenHill Have made some changes now.

Here with QACode:

And now without QRCODE

Will push the changes shortly

[mumblebaj]

@DarrenHill Changes have been pushed. You can update the module now.

@mumblebaj - Thanks for the very fast response.

Will update and test.

All up and running - that’s a fix from my side :D
Thanks again for that.

Might have a play with the layout as the pics etc are a bit small (and there’s space to expand things around them in my layout), but I can handle that.

Hi, I have been running your MMM-News module for a couple years now. As of Sunday when my mirror restarted the module no longer shows up anymore. I tried to reinstall it and checked my sources in the config and nothing was altered.

Can you help me try and troubleshoot what could be happening? Let me know what I would need to provide to help. I’m not super savvy with this stuff, the mirror was actually built for me.

Thank you in advance.

what does that mean? we don’t have auto update as part of MagicMirror

Sorry let me rephrase, I have the mirror auto restart every Sunday and I noticed that’s when the module disappeared. This is for the MMM-News module not sure if this thread is talking about a different one.

I’ve checked my API key which still seems to be valid when testing in a browser. I also deleted all my sources except 1, so I’m not really sure what happened?

@dondula ok, can you look at the logs?

pm2 logs --lines=100

100 is any number, its the last xxxx lines. it defaults to 15…

so as its tuesday there could be a lot of info there…

could try to clear the logs and restart … to get just the newest

pm2 flush
pm2 restart MagicMirror

wait

then

pm2 logs --lines=50

Here are the logs, I do see this one error regarding an expired certificate but I wasn’t sure what that meant.
