MMM-NewsFeedTicker

Cr4z33

@justjim1220 althought I know ZERO about developing, JSON, CSS & Co. I was doing a quick search on Google about scrolling text stuttering in Electron on slow devices and I found out a suggestion at Stackoverflow.com that actually improved A LOT the overall perfomance of the newsfeed scrolling!

Go open /home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-NewsFeedTicker/MMM-NewsFeedTicker and replace

.MMM-NewsFeedTicker .tickerbody {
  position: relative;

with

.MMM-NewsFeedTicker .tickerbody {
  position: relative;
  transform: translateZ(0);
  backface-visibility: hidden;

You should notice now an improvement. :upside-down_face:

This error you got is just letting you know it can’t overwrite file within the module that you made any changes to
You have to rename the file or delete it or just remove it from the directory

@justjim1220 OK I ran the update succesfully by deleting the CSS.

However I would like to revert to how it was looking before the update (static image on the left and smaller scrolling text). :grimacing_face:
How do I do that please?

If you did not make any changes to the original files, run git pull && npm install

If you made changes to any of the original files that you want to keep, rename those files, then run git pull && npm install

if there isn’t anything you need saved, delete the MMM-NewsFeedTicker directory and run the git clone '. . .'

@justjim1220 that’s what I already did, but I see you now fixed that. :)

Thanks.

Looking good, other than the logo now appearing centered on final position - I have deleted all custom css…

@bkeyport so that’s not only me?

I thought I messed up something in the CSS.

BKeyport

@Cr4z33 Nope, not just you.

Fixed it, actually. added the line “left: 0px;” in my custom css in the “.MMM-NewsFeedTicker .image” section… it’ll force the image to the left.

@bkeyport oh great doing it now thanks.

fwiw, it could have happened as adjustments made to the code for a feature I asked for… :innocent look:
