      Apologies, I am working on the issue of using a custom logo if one doesn’t get pulled from the site.
      Please stand by… :smiling_face_with_sunglasses:

        I also wanted to add that if you place the newsfeeds in the config, it also works better to place them in the js file as well. Not sure why, but I noticed that it does.
        So, wanted to pass that on.

        I am still working on getting a custom logo to show if one does not get pulled from the rss site.

          Take your time don’t worry. ;)

          In the meantime I am going to try too to put everything into the NewsFeeds js and see how things work.

          Update
          I saw no improvements by inserting the feeds straight into the JS. :disappointed_face:

            Sorry @justjim1220 I noticed only now that you removed the newsfeed ticker background in your latest screenshots.

            I would like to try that out and see if performance improves. :)
            How do you do that?

              In the css file, just change background-color: maroon; to background: none;
              can be done with the image as well, but that could make the image difficult to see.

                OK, thanks.

                Update:
                When not using a background then overall performance improves! :thumbs_up_medium-light_skin_tone:

                  Although I am using the UTF-8 encoding for ALL of my newsfeeds accented letters (i.e é, à, etc.) and currency symbols (i.e €) are not displayed properly.

                  Any idea why?

                  		{
                  			module: "MMM-NewsFeedTicker",
                  			position: "bottom_bar",
                  			disabled: false,
                  			//classes: "day_scheduler"
                  			config: {
                  			    feeds: [
                  					{
                  						title: "Hardware Upgrade",
                  						url: "https://feeds.hwupgrade.it/rss_hwup.xml",
                  						encoding: "UTF-8", //ISO-8859-1
                  						className: "myClass",
                  						defaultLogo : ""
                  					}
                  			    	    ]
                  				}
                  		    }

                    you might have better luck using encoding: "ISO-8859-15" or encoding: "ISO-8859-9"
                    The latter one is supposed to work best with European characters
