Newsfeed is not loading

  • H

    Hello!

    I’m doing my first steps on the Magic Mirror project and I was able to get run everything but not the newsfeed.

    I changed the script like this:

    {
    module: ‘newsfeed’,
    position: ‘bottom_bar’,
    config: {
    feeds: [
    {
    title: “news.orf.at”,
    url: “http://rss.orf.at/news.xml”
    }
    ],
    showSourceTitle: true,
    showPublishDate: true
    }
    },

    The newsfeed ist not loading anything and in the terminal I get following:

    pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror $ DISPLAY=:0 npm start

    magicmirror@2.0.0 start /home/pi/MagicMirror
    electron js/electron.js

    MagicMirror will not quit, but it might be a good idea to check why this happened. Maybe no internet connection?
    If you think this really is an issue, please open an issue on GitHub: https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/issues

    Can anybody pleayse tell me why it is not working?

    Thank you very much for your help!

  • I copied your module configuration and found a couple things. It looks like you may be having a character set issue. It may just be an artifact of the copy & paste. But here’s what I found:

    1. You need to use the single quote character around your text values. module: 'newsfeed. I’m not sure what character is in there, but my system didn’t like it.
    2. The showSourceTitle and showPublishDate variables are not part of the config: {...} section, so the closed curly brace (}) needs to be moved up 2 lines to just after the closed bracket (]).
    3. I think that once you make these changes, you’ll have to bounce the magic mirror process to get the content to show up. I was able to see the module, and received no errors, but the content didn’t load.
