trouble with MMM-remote-control

[thehoopjr]

@sdetweil All of that matches what I have in my config file. The check is only giving me errors in the remote module. it starts at line 90 and finishes at line 99.

{
module: "MMM-Remote-Control",					
, position: "bottom_bar",
config: {
customCommand: {},  // Optional, See "Using Custom Commands" below
customMenu: "custom_menu.json", // Optional, See "Custom Menu Items" below
showModuleApiMenu: true, // Optional, Enable the Module Controls menu
apiKey: "",         // Optional, See API/README.md for details
	}
},

pi@jakemagicmirror:~/MagicMirror $ npm run config:check

> magicmirror@2.10.1 config:check /home/pi/MagicMirror
> node tests/configs/check_config.js

do you think you could point out any errors in there?
thanks

@thehoopjr said in trouble with MMM-remote-control:

Line 91 col 37 Extra comma. (it breaks older versions of IE)

two commas in a row
i hate his doc to uncomment that position line, with the leading comma

    module: 'MMM-Remote-Control'   // < --- notice this DOES NOT have the comma
    // uncomment the following line to show the URL of the remote control on the mirror
    // , position: 'bottom_left'   //< ---------- there

[thehoopjr]

@sdetweil so I should remove that leading comma and it should fix it?

[sdetweil]

@thehoopjr leading or prior line trailing…
just have 1… then try it…

[thehoopjr]

@sdetweil that worked! thank you. the mirror started but all of my modules say they’re loading and the webpage won’t load. they’ve been stuck on loading for 10 minutes.
any ideas?

[sdetweil]

@thehoopjr open the developers window, ctrl-shift-i, select the console tab, scroll up to find any errors (usually red text

[thehoopjr]

@sdetweil no red text and no errors as far as I know. Anything else?

[sdetweil]
