    @pflnpi0305

    Run that through this: http://javascriptbeautifier.com/

    to clean that up… lots of spaces in there… may not be the problem but it could become a problem at some point and it’s easier to read through it when it’s formatted ;)

    But I do believe your problem is right here:

    url: “http://www.nytimes.com/services
    /xml/rss/nyt/HomePage.xml”

    That’s not valid… needs to be:

    url: “http://www.nytimes.com/services/xml/rss/nyt/HomePage.xml”

      @pflnpi0305 I believe that @cowboysdude is correct about that line spilling over. It needs to be on one line. When in doubt you can always paste your config.js at http://jshint.com/ and see if there are any errors (one warning about undefined variable module is ok)

          so i fixed it and added it the the java beautifier link and thenadded it back to my config.js folder and rebootbut still black screen.
          cant use npm start
          is it because im using pm2 to autostart my mirror?

            @pflnpi0305 if you are using pm2 then you can restart mm with pm2 restart mm, to stop it you would run pm2 stop mm, to list processes managed by pm2 you would do pm2 list and to start you would run pm2 start mm

            If you are still have issues, post your latest version of config.js here again. Are you getting any errors?

                @pflnpi0305 Do you see any errors in the console log when you run it start the mirror with npm start dev command? Also are you running off the master branch or dev?
                We can try to start eliminating things out to narrow down what is causing the black screen for you.

                Can you try this config with only horoscope module:

                /* Magic Mirror Config Sample

                 * MIT Licensed.
                 */
                
                var config = {
                	port: 8080,
                	ipWhitelist: ["127.0.0.1", "::ffff:127.0.0.1", "::1"],
                
                	language: 'en',
                	timeFormat: 24,
                	units: 'metric',
                
                	modules: [
                		{
                			module: 'MMM-horoscope',
                			position: 'bottom_right', // This can be any of the regions.
                			config: {
                				// See ‘Configuration options’ for additional options and more information.
                				sign: 'aries', // Zodiac sign
                				}
                		},
                	]
                
                };
                
                /*************** DO NOT EDIT THE LINE BELOW ***************/
                if (typeof module !== 'undefined') {module.exports = config;}
                

                Also can you please double check that MMM-horoscope and contents exist under ~/MagicMirror/modules directory? (I know I’m asking for obvious things, just trying to get some more info about your installation).

                    @pflnpi0305 It will not work if you don’t have a copy of the module installed locally, black screen is there because MM is attempting to load JS files for the module from the directory that doesn’t exist. You need to run this in terminal while connected to your RasPi (directly or via SSH).

                    cd ~/MagicMirror/modules
                    git clone https://github.com/morozgrafix/MMM-horoscope.git
                    

                    After that you would need to restart MM node process in order it to pickup new node_helper for horoscope module.

                    Thanks

                      Mh, you are right. The readme on github doesn’t state how to do this. Maybe @morozgrafix could add this, even though the process is always the same.

                      If you go to github, you see this:
                      0_1485765365171_github.JPG

                      1. click on “clone or download”
                      2. copy the url or click on the icon next to it
                      cd ~/MagicMirror/modules
                      git clone https://github.com/morozgrafix/MMM-horoscope.git
                      cd MMM-horoscope
                      npm install
                      

                      After that you update your config.js file, restart your magic mirror and should be fine
