@Wenike can u post the error?

[Wenike]

Its the standard image or text when launching MagicMirror of no config file being installed. I don’t know how to take a screenshot on the Pi, so camera picture it is!

Hi @Wenike in your MMM-Carousel config it looks like you have

mode: global,

which might need to be quoted? i.e.

mode: 'global',

@Wenike on the console where u did npm start.

@raymondjspigot good catch!

I copied the config and this is the cause
i also noted that the checker didn’t find this,
not sure why…

[sdetweil]

@Wenike the general rules for config.js

for the value to the right of :

numbers and true/false are not quoted,
everything else is, doesn’t matter which type, single or double, as long as they match

for the trailing comma on a line,
if the next line starts with a word, then this line needs a trailing comma (more coming)

@raymondjspigot Thanks! That fixed it!
