MMM-Events : nothing to display on my Magic Mirror

Mykle1

This is what you should have used. From the readme:

{
module: 'MMM-Events',
    position: 'top_right',
    config: {
        city: "49.1829,0.3707", // "new york", or lat,long ex "40.123456,-74.123456",
        radius: "100", // search radius
        radiusDistance: "km", // mi or km
        eventType: "music,movies_film,art,sports", // Choose from Events List below
        when: "This Week",  // "All", "Future", "Past", "Today", "Last Week", "This Week", "Next week", and months
        mode: "noFrame",   // "Frame" or "noFrame" (around picture)
        apikey: "YOUR API KEY",
        rotateInterval: 5 * 60 * 1000,     // New Event Appears every 5 minutes
        useHeader: true,	           // Set to true if you want a header
        header: "Spectacle a proximité",
        animationSpeed: 3000,              // Event fades in and out
        picture: true,                     // true, false = no image
    }
  },

this is my config.js :

				disabled: false,
				module: 'MMM-Events',
				position: 'top_left',
				config: {
					city: "caen, france", // "new york", or lat,long ex "40.123456,-74.123456",
					radius: "50", // search radius
					radiusDistance: "km", // mi or km
					eventType: "music", // Choose from Events List below
					when: "This Week",  // "All", "Future", "Past", "Today", "Last Week", "This Week", "Next week", and months
					mode: "noFrame",   // "Frame" or "noFrame" (around picture)
					apikey: "Pq4n9Vh5zbshSVfS",
					rotateInterval: 15 * 1000,     // New Event Appears every 5 minutes
					useHeader: true,	           // Set to true if you want a header
					header: "Spectacle a proximité",
					animationSpeed: 3000,              // Event fades in and out
					picture: false,                     // true, false = no image
				}
			  },

and the problem still here…

when I use the gps coordinates of caen (49.1811, -0.3712) it’s the same …
I uninstalled and reinstalled the module, + git pull and nmp install: still the same …
I tried with the gps coordinates of several cities: Las Vegas, Baltimore, New york, Paris, Lyon, Toulouse it works, with Marseille (the 2nd city in France in population it does not work …), the same for Rouen a city 130 kms from Caen and larger that does not work …
If I put 200 km of radius the module comes to look for concerts in Paris.
However on the Eventful site there are many concerts of music displayed (even if there are not many posted concerning the largest concert hall compared to the concerts displayed on the concert hall’s website. ).

it’s incomprehensible and crazy …

There is indeed an error when you put “Caen, France” because on your photo posted above it says “Brussel Ouderenplatform” and Brussel is the capital of Belgium so nothing to do with demand …

same, when you using : “49.1811, -0.375565” for Caen,
the sainte thérèse basilica is in Lisieux (town 67 km from Caen) with a population of 20,771 inhabitants while CAEN has a population of over 100,000 inhabitants.

Copy and pasted from my earlier post.

If the api does not give back events for those coordinates it means the api does not have data in the free api for that location.

So if I understand correctly we can consult the various concerts (not exhaustive) in caen for free on the eventful site, but that this is not available with the free API. it would take a paid API to do it … Thank you for your feedback, I understand better even if I find it a little weird.
thanks you.

Not necessarily. Possible. I would inquire with them before paying anything.

Thank you for your feedback, I understand better even if I find it a little weird.

It IS weird but the module can only display the data that is given.

Great, thank you for your approach. Please keep me posted when you get a response from them.
