        Hey @haywire!

        I tried this but it did not work for me…

        Tried removing old MMM-RottenTomatoes and installing https://github.com/parnic/MMM-RottenTomatoes

        It got the “Awaiting update” message fixed but the only thing showing up now is the:
        box office, opening this week, coming soon
        without any movies.

        Using the same config.js as I did for the old MMM-RottenTomatoes

        Also tried manually removing rt-scraper and then cloning from https://github.com/parnic/NPMJS-rt-scraper but still no success…

        Any ideas?

          I found a (dirty) workaround.
          Inspecting https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/dream_horse, you can see the sidebar that used to be on the homepage. The structure is the same as before, except that the name of the div-element is different than assumed in the rt-scraper code.

          So, this is what I did to get it working:

          1. Go to the node-modules/rt-scraper directory in your MagicMirror installation dir.
          2. Edit index.js
          3. Replace the three instances of “homepage-top-box-office” with “movies_sidebar”
          4. Replace the request uri rottentomatoes.com to rottentomatoes.com/m/dream_horse
          5. Restart MagicMirror and you should now see the RT movie listing appearing again.

          Now, this is dirty, because of the Dream Horse link. I’m think about a better way (take the first movie on the site?) and commit to github. But for now we can at least enjoy the movie listings again.

            @airs747 said in MMM-RottenTomatoes displays awaiting update:

            find the github repo for the module you fixed,
            fork it (now YOU have a linked ‘copy’)

            make the same changes, commit to YOUR copy
            and then offer a Pull Request (new pull request button) to the source to fix the problem for all

              Hi, thanks for all the help so far! When I cloned the parnic’s rt-scraper and MMM-RottenTomatoes fork it still just displayed “awaiting update”. Has anyone else managed to get this module fixed?

                @airs747 Hi. I tried that, but I didn’t find any instance of homepage-top-box-office in index.js. I can see in the code source the movies_sidebar, but I don’t know where to place it. Can you please give more details about what you did ? I’ve installed RottenTomatoes via parnic code, and the rt-scrapper linked to it. Thank you very much.

                      There is already a fix that is PRd to the rt-scraper module. Unfortunately since February already.
                      The problem is that it would need to be merged and published as an npm module to be properly installed here.

                        Is this something that can be installed manually?
