    Hi there and thanks for your reply…

    {
    module: “MMM-EasyBack”,
    position: “fullscreen_below”,
    config: {
    bgName: “Example.jpg”,
    videoName: “”,
    youTubeID: “”,
    height: “1080px”,
    width" “1920px”,
    }

    	},
    

    This is what I have and yet still have config?

    TIA

    J

      That entry is correct. Something else might be causing the error. You can do two things.

      1. Post your entire config here.using the code block option. It looks like this: </>
      2. start mm using npm start dev. Click the “Elements” tab at the top left of the window that appears.
      3. Report any errors. They will be in red. You may have to scroll.

        width" “1920px”,

        Also, these two values have to match your your displays resolution

          Complete config listed below:

          FYI I did try the nom start dev option too however it said
          npm Error code ENOENT
          npm Error sys call OPEN
          npm Error path /home/pi/package.json
          npm Error errno -2
          npm error enoent Enoent: no such file or directory, open ‘/home/pi/package.json’
          npm error enoent This is related to npm not being able to find a file
          npm error enoent

          npm error A complete log of this run can be run in:
          npm error /home/pi/.npm/_logs/2020 -04-01T22_07_45_756Z-debug.log

          I am sorry if this a simple thing to you however as I have said before I bought a Pi and as I am on lockdown thought… Hey lets give this MM a go and see if I can understand code… Thought / hoped I would have MM up and running using other modules first and then be able to read and learn from there (easy option I know)…

          Thanks again for your time and effort - sorry for delay I am UK time so missed your reply last night

            width" “1920px”,
            }

            I think I found it. It should read width: "1920". You’re missing the : and have an extra ".
