    @vindoan said in Newsfeed and Calendar not loading:

    For some reason, both my newsfeed and calendar modules are stuck with “loading…”

    I just tested your config file. It loaded right up with the calendar displaying correctly. However, as you stated, your newsfeed was hung on “Loading”. So, I substituted another newfeed url for your “Wired” url and it worked fine. I then went to the Wired Newsfeed site and tried a few url’s from different categories, all of which failed in the newsfeed module. I then tried my favorite “NASA” newsfeed url https://www.nasa.gov/rss/dyn/solar_system.rss and it fired right up.

    I’m thinking Wired’s newsfeed is the problem.

      @vindoan I have the same problem (RP0) in serveronly mode.

      If the newsfeed is broken, that is okay, but my calendar (shared iCloud calendar) is always in the state of “loading”.

      Does anyone know a solution?

          @Mykle1 Thanks for the tip, I already tried http://rss.nytimes.com/services/xml/rss/nyt/HomePage.xml too and that didnt see to work either.

            @vindoan
            Well, this is the default NY Times url, which is somewhat different from the url you posted above.
            http://www.nytimes.com/services/xml/rss/nyt/HomePage.xml

            {
            		module: "newsfeed",
            		position: "bottom_bar",
            		config: {
            			feeds: [
            				{
            					title: "New York Times",
            					url: "http://www.nytimes.com/services/xml/rss/nyt/HomePage.xml"
            				}
            				],
            				showSourceTitle: true,
            				showPublishDate: true
            			}
            		},

              @Mykle1 if you follow the link, the URL changes and I copied that one. I tried both the default one and the one posted and both didnt work at all.

                Im not sure if this is important or not. Im on nodejs version 0.10.29 (stable). There is a more current version but for some reason its not updating to it. Im not sure if thats the issue.\

                  I FIGURED IT OUT, nodejs had to at least 0.10.40 to work with the modules, had to follow this post to force update it https://raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/questions/48303/install-nodejs-for-all-raspberry-pi

                    @vindoan Hi thanks for your help, to upgrading to the latest nodejs solved it.
                    I have a jessie box so i upgraded a different way what you linked for the Pi.

                    So here it is if using a linux box instead of Pi

                    sudo npm cache clean -f /cleanup the package
                    sudo npm install -g n /you’ll need npm’s n module
                    sudo n stable
                    node -v /you should have the latest nodejs
