So i tried to change the newsfeed RSS feed with my local news RSS feed but it does not change it keeps getting the news from the NY Times news. My config:```
Module.register(“newsfeed”,{

// Default module config.
defaults: {
	feeds: [
		{
			title: "NOS Algemeen",
			url: "http://feeds.nos.nl/nosnieuwsalgemeen",
			encoding: "UTF-8" //ISO-8859-1
		}
	],
	showSourceTitle: true,
	showPublishDate: true,

@Timtendo12 I also tried it with the NYT Technologu Rss feed XML. But also does not change.

Config:


Module.register("newsfeed",{

	// Default module config.
	defaults: {
		feeds: [
			{
				title: "New York Times Technology",
				url: "https://rss.nytimes.com/services/xml/rss/nyt/Technology.xml",
				encoding: "UTF-8" //ISO-8859-1
			}
		],
		showSourceTitle: true,
		showPublishDate: true,

And here is the terminal log:

> magicmirror@2.10.1 start /home/pi/MagicMirror
> ./run-start.sh

You have edited the wrong file, namely the newsfeed.js file. You should be editing the config.js file which resides is the MagicMirror/config folder. If so, you should revert all your changes to their original state and edit the config.js entry for the newsfeed module. It should look something like this. I tested your url for NOS Algemeen and it works fine with the module.

{
  module: "newsfeed",
  position: "bottom_bar",	// This can be any of the regions. Best results in center regions.
  config: {
    feeds: [
      {
        title: "NOS Algemeen",
        url: "http://feeds.nos.nl/nosnieuwsalgemeen",
      },
      {
        title: "BBC",
        url: "http://feeds.bbci.co.uk/news/video_and_audio/news_front_page/rss.xml?edition=uk",
      },
    ]
  }
},
