If you can’t, can you run multiple sources on the one module? I tried comma seperated, but that loaded neither of them.

No it wasn’t setup to run multiple instances. The mirror was setup for finite space so the majority of the modules haven’t been built to allow that :)

I will look into the possibility of multiple sources but it will be a bit as this is my busiest time of year at work and I am swamped at the moment.

Not a problem - what about multiple sources?

If you do this in the config.js ---->

//newsSource:,

It will return news from ALL sources that’s the best I can do at the moment.

I answered the multiple sources question above ;)

There may be a quickie fix I can do if you tell me what you’re looking for…

business, entertainment, gaming, general, music, politics, science-and-nature, sport or technology.

Ah, so you did! :D I read that as you’ll look into multiple instances. It’s late. ;)

All good my friend. I’ve somehow killed my MM install after an update.

cowboysdude · Apr 30, 2017, 2:09 PM

@DeanoAus OH mannnnnnn I hate that… I just redid my bathroom mirror as I killed that one too … I feel your pain.

It’s late for you, I just woke up LOL So let me know if there is a specific category you’re looking for or just taking out the newsource will work for you because if you do that it will return ALL news. :)

Future implementation will be different languages: en, de, fr

Was after one tech, one Australian news. And seeing as I can’t reply before 120 seconds… sigh… i’ll combine my replies.

electron is not installed… i had an issue as well so I just reinstalled the mirror… that fixed the electron issues.

DeanoAus · Apr 30, 2017, 2:18 PM

Ugh, I think i found it. You need to do npm install as root…

Wait, nope!
