@rambomonkey in the future, please use the code block wrapper for config entries and any log info

to do this

select the text you want to paste
in the message editor, paste the text, with a blank line before and after
then select the text you just pasted and press the </> button on the editor menu bar

this will keep the formatting and make long items (logs) scrollable…

I fixed the prior entries

@sdetweil Hi sorry about that I did not know.

rambomonkey

This might have something to do with it @PierreGode I see an error on server startup:

[2025-08-21 19:19:45.691] [WARN] No /root/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-next-episode/MMM-next-episode.js found for module: MMM-next-episode.

But MMM-next-episode.js is present in the MMM-next-episode DIR

sdetweil

@rambomonkey said in mmm-next-episode:

/MMM-next-episode

magic mirror is case sensitive…

I think the module name is mmm-next-episode

rambomonkey

@sdetweil Hi, I have changed the config.js and I still get the same error:

[2025-08-21 19:25:57.758] [WARN] No /root/MagicMirror/modules/mmm-next-episode/mmm-next-episode.js found for module: mmm-next-episode.

sdetweil

@rambomonkey ok, so if you go to the MagicMirror/modules folder and do

ls -laF

do you find a folder with the proper name…

note the module name, the folder name AND the js file AND the register in the js file names MUST match exactly

sdetweil

@rambomonkey said in mmm-next-episode:

No /root/

also, NEVER run this stuff as root…

is that the user you used when you installed the module???

rambomonkey

@sdetweil to be honest I cannot remember if I used root or not:

sdetweil

@rambomonkey uou can see root owns the files

if you try to run as a normal user, you dont have permission to access them at all

thus the not found

rambomonkey

@sdetweil Thanks for the info, sorry im new to Linux. Would you happen to know how I could give a specific user the permissions?

sdetweil

@rambomonkey

the permissions are 3 sets of 3 rights

user read/write/execute
group anyone in this group
other anybody not specified above

the commands

are chmod which can set the individual
permissions using flags or a number
777 means all for all
770 mean user and group users can do anything, everyone else no access

the there is chgrp to change the group

all commands have help
–help

and most have a page in the manuals

man commandname

man chmod
man chgrp

you
eill need root permission to take root
permissions away

sudo gives root permission for this command

PierreGode

@rambomonkey
So this is how you want your Magic mirror setup to look like.

yeah no /root/ that can create a loads of headaches like this.

rambomonkey

@PierreGode @sdetweil thanks you two, think I will just re-install as a normal user, you live and learn lol.

rambomonkey

@PierreGode Hi, I have now re-installed it under user petek and I’m still seeing the same issue:

petek@MagicMirror-v2:/home/MagicMirror$ ls -la /home/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-next-episode/MMM-next-episode.js
-rw-r–r-- 1 petek petek 5798 Aug 26 19:34 /home/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-next-episode/MMM-next-episode.js
petek@MagicMirror-v2:/home/MagicMirror$

sdetweil

@rambomonkey I just installed the module

git clone
cd MMM-next-episode
npm install

used the sample config from the readme
(typo missing : after password in the readme)

{
  module: "MMM-next-episode",
  position: "bottom_right",
  header: "Next-Episode",
  config: {
    id: '',
    hash_key: '',
    username: '',
    password: '',
    displaySeasonAndEpisode: false,
    displayShowingOn: false,
    displayEpisodeName: false,
    maxdays: 7,
    ShowThumbnail: true,
    ThumbnailSize: 'small',
    updateInterval: 180
  }
},

and see the qr code on the screen under the header

rambomonkey
