Hello guys. I have just one question. I have installed my magic mirror, and changed everything like hours, temp. etc. But i can’t add my own news from my country…I am from Croatia. Please help me :/

You need to google search for Croatian rss news feeds. Then get the url to the rss file of the news feed. Then add it to your config like this:

{
			disabled: f,
			module: 'newsfeed',
			position: 'bottom_bar',
			config: {
				feeds: [
					{
						title: "NASA",
						url: "https://www.nasa.gov/rss/dyn/solar_system.rss"
					},
					{
						title: "Reuters Science News",
						url: "http://feeds.reuters.com/reuters/scienceNews"
					},
					{
						title: "New York Times",
						url: "http://www.nytimes.com/services/xml/rss/nyt/HomePage.xml"
					},
					{
                    				title: "BBC World News",
                    				url: "http://feeds.bbci.co.uk/news/world/us_and_canada/rss.xml"
                			},

@Mykle1 First, I want to thank you for your response.! :D Second, I forgot to tell you that I have a bit different magic mirror installed than you think :) I know that I need the RSS news but they don’t work :S
I will paste my magic mirror code here so you can see it :/
Here we go: --> the document is “smartmirror.py” and I start magic mirror in terminal with command “python smartmirror.py”

@hellboyhum

So you want me to troubleshoot an issue you’re having using a platform other than this forum’s MagicMirror software?

Uhhh . . .

@Mykle1 I’m so sorry, i don’t know why I can’t past my code here :/
class News(Frame):
def init(self, parent, *args, **kwargs):
Frame.init(self, parent, *args, **kwargs)
self.config(bg=‘black’)
self.title = ‘Novosti’ # ‘News’ is more internationally generic
self.newsLbl = Label(self, text=self.title, font=(‘Helvetica’, medium_text_size), fg=“white”, bg=“black”)
self.newsLbl.pack(side=TOP, anchor=W)
self.headlinesContainer = Frame(self, bg=“black”)
self.headlinesContainer.pack(side=TOP)
self.get_headlines()

def get_headlines(self):
    try:
        # remove all children
        for widget in self.headlinesContainer.winfo_children():
            widget.destroy()
        if news_country_code == None:
            headlines_url = "http://www.hrt.hr/?id=316&type=100&rss=vijesti"
        else:
            headlines_url = "http://www.hrt.hr/?id=316&type=100&rss=vijesti" % news_country_code

        feed = feedparser.parse(headlines_url)

        for post in feed.entries[0:5]:
            headline = NewsHeadline(self.headlinesContainer, post.title)
            headline.pack(side=TOP, anchor=W)
    except Exception as e:
        traceback.print_exc()
        print "Error: %s. Cannot get news." % e

    self.after(600000, self.get_headlines)

This forum is for MagicMirror users.

You’re using smartmirror software.
