MMM-Newsfeed is only working for a day

Medo

Hi…
I had exactly the same issues.
I changed from a .html rss feed to an .xml feed and all refreshing-problems were gone.
Hope this helps…

@Medo Unfortunately i use already a xml feed. Is this the only thing you changed?

{
module: 'newsfeed',
position: 'bottom_bar',
	config: {
		feeds: [
			{
				title: "Zitat des Tages",
				url: "http://zitate.net/rss/500100303/zitate.xml"
				//url: "http://zitate-online.de/zitatdestages.xml"
					}
				],
				showSourceTitle: false,
				showPublishDate: false,
				reloadInterval: 300000,
			}
		},

I remember that a .xml feed worked for me. But some months i changed here and there…

I checked my current config and i use this feed:

url: “http://www.tagesschau.de/xml/rss2/”

This feed works for months now.

hmm i use a second one from 20minuten.ch and this one is working very well. Maybe i have to look for another Quotation-Feed… But i cant understand why this one is only workling when i restart my mirror… This is strange… i can see not even the quotation from the last day. After +/- 24h hours i have ony “Loading” on the screen…

@Squirrel
Yep, exactly what i experienced. One feed works, the other not.
I surrendered (after many attempts to fix that problem) and searched for a working feed. After that, i had no more problems with the feed. Maybe a coding bug.

I still do have a problem with an not updating calender…
And if you want to investigate further, you can try this:

Maybe my wifi drops out so some modules cant be updated…
I will give it a try as soon as i will find time for that kind of “fun” ;-)

@all
Seems like i found the problem why some modules stopped working.
I revisited my MM configuration and noticed i had lost my “keep WiFi active” configuration…
I opened /etc/network/interfaces and put in the missing “wireless-power off”.
