@justjim1220
Finally it’s working now. Thank you very much:thumbs_up:

Thank you very much for the help, but still I do not understand how you moved that red line down. I would be curious, can not get any position you want on the vertical for this module?

@electros

you should be able to place it in any of the regions,
it works best in the top_bar, middle_center, and bottom_bar for the 100% width

@justjim1220 can you please help me setting a custom logo into

defaultLogo : ""

?

I’ve tried so far with several image formats and I’ve used both HTTP and HTTPS, but it still doesn’t load the logo… :thinking_face:

It’s

http://feeds.feedburner.com/SkyitTg24

and I would like to load

https://tg24.sky.it/static/images/lv/skytg24_logo_header.png

as default icon (also because I notice that ALL the news feeds I set don’t show the icon in the scrolling bar).

Last but not least is it normal that it uses almost 50% of the CPU load? :frowning_face_with_open_mouth:
I’ve got a Raspberry Pi 3 B+ and a Samsung EVO Plus 32GB micro SD card.

It sure is. The Pi struggles with that type of animation. I’m surprised it’s only 50%. You should monitor your CPU temp, as well.

So it’s not a matter of not so fast SD card then right?

I am using a heatsink on it therefore the average temperature so far is between 50° Celsius and 60° Celsius.

Well, it could be, but that’s unlikely. The CPU load issue has been around for some time and animations, especially marquee animations(scrolling) are the #1 culprit, or I miss my mark. Of course, if you used something more robust than a Pi that has a GPU you’d see a world of difference in the way MM performs.
