      Re: BBC News feed

      Hello guys.

      I am new to Magic Mirror and just setting up my first install. At the moment I just have it on my HDMI screen with no mirror while I configure it.

      So the first change I made was to get the BBC News feed as I am in the U.K.

      I have it working but the problem is I am only getting the heading to each article but not the article itself which is rather pointless.

      Appreciate any help you gurus can give me!

      Thanks in advance.

          First of you have to set “showDescription” to “true”

          but do note, no RSS news feed give you the entire article, it gives you the headline and a short description of the article.
