      Hi,

      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,
      
      
      Therminal when starting up:```
      > magicmirror@2.10.1 start /home/pi/MagicMirror
      > ./run-start.sh

        @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",
                },
              ]
            }
          },
