hello hope all are well another nubie here lol , iam trying to find out how I can replace the new times news feed with this new news feed because I have no clue how to get it to look like the wording that the current news feed has lol any help would be a blessing thanks ,

top stories and if its possible on magic mirror the weather videos as well especially this one wich would be better then the feed , http://www.wpbf.com/nowcast

http://feeds.hearstdigitalstudios.com/wsi_app_feed_wpbf.xml

[RIJOSROBERTO]

thank you going to try it now , ,
I need to learn how to make those lol ,

[sdetweil]

click on the link in the web page to select it (where the page says ‘XML’) , and then copy the URL (address) line

[RIJOSROBERTO]

oooo ok , thank you ,
so far everything loads up but the live news feed it says loading , so far 5 min have past

update seems to be stuck at loading , the live video feed

[sdetweil]

@rijosroberto might be an error…

alt-spacebar, n to minimize the mirror screen and see the console log in the terminal window where u did npm start (this will show the debug/errors from the node_helpers)…

and/or ctrl-shift-i (letter i) to open the debug console, select the console tab
(this will show the debug from the modules)

[RIJOSROBERTO]

ok ,
I noticed I had the yellow http:// and the one I copied and pasted so I just erased the blue one and left the yellow one and just rebooted to see

update ok so far the video feed one just says about the storie and who wrote the storie , it doesn’t show the live feed , trying the regular one now, that one works perfect , still would love the live feed tho any ideas ?

[sdetweil]

@rijosroberto i am guessing the RSS module doesn’t know about non-text content…

from the news items

media:content url=

[RIJOSROBERTO]

mmmm how can I fix that ? its a fresh install of noobs , and the raspian that the installer recommends , would I need to download a player or some sorts ?

[sdetweil]

the code doesn’t know about anything but the text of the items…

you would have to change the code, and use some player, and … I don’t know what else

[RIJOSROBERTO]

I suck at coding so that would take me 20 years to at least get a little half way lol is there an alternative

[sdetweil]

@rijosroberto said in Adding a second news feed.:

is there an alternative

no idea

i am a MM newbie

[RIJOSROBERTO]

me too , I know they have a module called iframe that can be used to open up smart tiles , but I tried it and it didn’t work for the live feed maybey I did it wrong tho , but it makes me think if mm is able to watch live camara feeds it should be able to watch the news

I found this one that iam trying now hopefully it works
https://github.com/maxenxe/MMM-RSS-FEED

[sdetweil]

@rijosroberto no… that one doesn’t process the media link either

[RIJOSROBERTO]

this one opens it up like a web page
https://github.com/alberttwong/MMM-iFrame

but no vid I would have to resize it to fit the whole screen , it beats the purpose , of using a pi

[RIJOSROBERTO]

do you kno if theres away to go back to the pm2 save ? iam guessing when it saves it backs up?

[sdetweil]

sorry, no… I don’t use PM2
