      Re: MMM-Bose-Soundtouch
      Hi there,

      As I like others are at home I thought I would give this MMM a go and first task was to see if I could sort out the Bose Module.

      I have never repeat never done anything like this before so please be patient :-)

      I have entered the above lines into my config.js yet when I reboot my Pi I get nothing - not even the header?

      I went into Terminal and went to the modules part and then ran the GitHub clone within the ~/MagicMirror/modules location ( hope that is correct)?

      Any ideas why I see nothing at all folks?

        @j-ason so, if you go back to the original config.js (copy the sample to config.js, save your current one first)

        does mirror come back up?

              @j-ason the forum posting pics is broken (still)… so u have to post them somewhere else

              black screen usually means some config or setup problem…

              open the developers window (ctrl-shift-i on the keyboard), and select the console tab,. and scroll up to see any errors (usually red text)

              u did not edit any module file, right, only the config.js…

              does the module have a package.json file, and if so, did u run npm install in the module folder?

                @sdetweil Can I send you the screenshot? (email , WhatsApp ?)

                As I said I am way out of my depth tbh - only started this the other day and hoping it will make sense as I go along :crossed_fingers_light_skin_tone:

                All I have done is load Raspberry Jessie version, MM2 install with default calendar, time, weather - edit… Have managed to work around getting my Google calendar to work and change location to UK for calendar and weather settings…

                    Looking at the documentation, I see the config sample entry does not have a comma after the last bracket. The config entry should look like this:

                    {
                    	module: "MMM-Bose-Soundtouch",
                    	position: "top_right",   // see mirror setting for options
                    	config: {          
                    		updateInterval: 5, // every 5 seconds
                    		apiBase: '192.168.xxx.xxx',
                    	}
                    },
                    

                    Notice the comma after the last curly bracket?

                    Of course, @sdetweil has probably brought that to your attention already. :-)

                      @Mykle1 the comma only matters IF this is the not the last module config entry…

                      but blackscreen shouldn’t be because of this, you’d get a “create a config file” error

                        True, but it IS the most common mistake for beginners, or I am much mistaken. :-)
