Rookie just starting with magic mirror

frode

Hello good people.

From Norway, just starting with this magicmirror. Just this minute I’m “destroying” a old pc screen. Just for now I’m wondering if its possible to choose my own news feed? I want news from Norway and english premier league, goals and so on.

My project is not going to be a mirror but a built in screen in my wall… Black screen when not used

@frode yes, if there is a feed that provides the data you want, just yse that URL instead of (or in addition to) any other

Hi again

Working with this some days now I like it! But the neverending question it seems : I’m trying to remote control this unit.

I’ve installed by : bash -c “$(curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Jopyth/MMM-Remote-Control/master/installer.sh)” without * of course and that went ok, but when I try to add this

{
module: ‘MMM-Remote-Control’
// uncomment the following line to show the URL of the remote control on the mirror
// , position: ‘bottom_left’
// you can hide this module afterwards from the remote control itself
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
}
},

its error anywhere I try to insert it to modules? I have put it between { (at the start of code) and }, in the end.

But where ever I try to insert it, it goes to error? What am I doing wrong

@frode what is the error?

In config?

Do

 npm run check:config

from the mm folder

Dont remember exactly, its a basic page saying something about missing config or error in config… I deleted something that I shouldnt do, so now its all black…

The example config entry in the readme has a couple of errors. This should work for you.

{
    module: 'MMM-Remote-Control',
    position: 'bottom_left',
    config: {
        customCommand: {},
        customMenu: "custom_menu.json", 
        showModuleApiMenu: true,
        apiKey: "", 
    }
},

@frode

It’s not MY readme.

frode

No, I meant for the person who made it

Understood. I’ll leave a message for the author.
