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;
tobackground: 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 : "" } ] } }

@cr4z33 said in MMM-NewsFeedTicker:
you might have better luck using
encoding: "ISO-8859-15"
orencoding: "ISO-8859-9"
The latter one is supposed to work best with European characters -
@justjim1220
That did the trick thanks. :thumbs_up_medium-light_skin_tone: -
Yep! Always lad to help! :smiling_face_with_sunglasses:
-
So is there a way to use this without the scrolling function to ease up on CPU usage?
-
@cyberphox if you don’t want it to scroll then why don’t you use the default newsfeed module of MagicMirror? :thinking_face:
