Black Screen on Localhost...

@Leotrap This sounds like progress. Please copy your config.js file and let us see it. Please remember to remove any API keys and preface it with triple back-ticks.If you’re getting the interface but no modules, that sounds like a configuration error.

So positive @bhepler it really encourage to go on with this instead this is not my native language… here the config.js… Thanks man! [0_1480680561947_config.js](Uploading 100%)

@Leotrap

I kept getting a blank screen too. Basically I commented out all of the modules and uncommented them back one by one. In the end, the calendar and newsfeed modules are not working and that’s what is giving me the black screen. I had to remove the following from the config file:

{
module: ‘calendar’,
header: ‘US Holidays’,
position: ‘top_left’,
config: {
calendars: [
{
symbol: 'calendar-check-o ',
url: ‘webcal://www.calendarlabs.com/templates/ical/US-Holidays.ics’
}
]
}
},

and

{
module: ‘newsfeed’,
position: ‘bottom_bar’,
config: {
feeds: [
{
title: “New York Times”,
url: “http://www.nytimes.com/services/xml/rss/nyt/HomePage.xml”
}
],
showSourceTitle: true,
showPublishDate: true
}
},

Whenever i get an error when im trying sth i open the mirror-page in Firefox or chrome and open the console with a right click and the last item (examine or sth like this). Maybe this will hell you to know where sth could be wrong.

@chrisyy and @memjr thanks for the responses… I have tried this and seems to not work… very strange I think that I should buy the raspberry to do this…seems to have problems in PC at least I never could see anything else that a black screen… what a pity…really

[chrisyy]

Can u enable port forwarding (8080) to ur Pi/PC for the MagicMirror and PM me an IP?
Maybe I can take a look with the console. When there’s an error, maybe we can find out more.

Thanks @chrisyy i’ll try… .that could work. Thanks!.
