Newsfeed is not loading

[Himbeerkuchen]

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.
