MagicMirror Newsfeed continually "loading"...

sdetweil

mine is using the same source… and works…

{
      module: "newsfeed",
      disabled: false,
      position: "bottom_bar",
      config: {
	ignoreOldItems:false,
        feeds: [
          {
            title: "New York Times",
            url: "http://www.nytimes.com/services/xml/rss/nyt/HomePage.xml"
          },        
        ],
        showSourceTitle: true,
        showPublishDate: true
      }
    },

I have tried re-editing your paste into my config.js. There were a couple of minor formatting changes, but ultimately the problem persists.

Thanks for having a look though!

@ForeverBrewing ok, "Loading… " is the default message displayed until data comes in… then its replaced by the formatted data…

so, open the developers window, ctrl-shift-i on the keyboard, select the tab labeled console, and scroll up to find any errors…

many times one can filter the messages by the some part of the module name in this case 'news"

Hey Sam. I have looked through the dev window and cant find any errors, but it is clearly unhappy about something.

Below is a sample of what i get as soon as I start the MM:

etc etc.

I have tried to click the link and see where in the code the error is, but I am WAAAAY out of my league. The fact is I have literally no idea what i’m looking at and am 100% relying on everybody else’s knowledge to manage anything vaguely resembling anything clever.

Hope this helps?

its ok… we all learn over time…

the system allows modules to talk to each other by sending ‘notification’ messages…

most of what you see are the clock noisily telling others that time is ticking…

but, I don’t see any messages about the feed setup…

@sdetweil
Once I stop filtering for “news” I do see one error, but it relates the the weather module:

newsfeed - unknown notification, ignoring: CLOCK_SECOND
api.openweathermap.o…43aac34d08eb3e2f3:1 Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 401 (Unauthorized)
weatherforecast.js:266 weatherforecast: Your AppID does not support long term forecasts. Switching to fallback endpoint.
newsfeed.js:370 newsfeed - received notification: CLOCK_SECOND

I don’t know if this is relevant in any way?

forecast is long term, the api gets picky…

ForeverBrewing

@sdetweil Yeah, I guessed it was irrelevant to the newsfeed shenanigans

@ForeverBrewing i am trying to test here for info…

if you do a

pm2 stop 0

then from a command prompt, even over ssh

npm start
