Stuck at Create new news Fetcher
-
Hello Everyone,
complete noob here and first time MM User.
I just installed MagicMirror with the auto installer and I cannot get it started. The startup skript gets stuck at Create new news Fetcher. I tried to start magicmirror with npm and/or pm2. I am running the default config.
The MagicMirror Screen Starts but only loads the calender, news and compliments module.
I hope somebody can help and thank you. Sorry for the stupid question.

that is all there is in the default config… you are running fine
as for the “Create new news Fetcher”, that is some debugging shown by the calendar module,
it does not show anything else… so you are still goodnow you need to add more modules…

Ohh wow now I feel really dumb. Why is the weather modul not shown that is listed in the config.js?
-
@BenediktB u have to supply a key to get the data
from the readme info https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/tree/master/modules/default/currentweather
appid The OpenWeatherMap API key, which can be obtained by creating an OpenWeatherMap account.
This value is REQUIRED

Ohh yeah the API Key. just found it in the documentation. Thank you very much. How can I close the topic?
-
@BenediktB right click the three dots to the right of the message that is the solution…
-
@BenediktB while your there, before supplying the key, lets teach one more valuable thing…
with the mirror running, using a keyboard, hit ctrl-shift-i, a new window (the developers window) will open.
select the tab at the top labeled ‘console’ and then scroll up to see any errors, usually in red…
you can also get messages from JUST ONE module, by putting part of its name in the filter box, on the console tab, ‘weath’, hit enter
u can close that window with the same keystrokes, or using a mouse hit the x in the top right corner
u can start the dev window at start time too with npm start dev
