      Context: I am a noob but seriously addicted to the Raspberry Pi platform. I am learning about Git, javascript, and CSS little by little and am by no means expert with any of those languages so apologies for any basic questions.

      Here are the steps I performed that created a blank (black) screen after MagicMirror v2.13.0 update.

      • I first backed up previous version of MagicMirror build

      • Tried to perform update via the MMM-Remote-Control module - update failed

      • Tried to perform update via RPi terminal command git pull - received the “Your local changes to the following files would be overwritten by merge” and didn’t know how to stash and pop so I didn’t know how to get past this error

      • Removed all 3rd party modules and tried git pull again - received the “Your local changes to the following files would be overwritten by merge” because I must have changed some details in the js of a few of the default modules, oops, I thought that is how to customize colors and padding when tinkering.

      • Deleted current build of MagicMirror (since I already had a backup) and started fresh by following the basic installation instructions and then added config file and all 3rd party modules form backup - resulted in blank (black) screen when I execute npm start

      • After fresh install of MagicMirror, I then tried adding back all of the 3rd party modules and executed npm install on each module to make sure they were updated - resulted in blank (black) screen when I execute npm start

      • I then removed all 3rd party modules (again) and added them back one-by-one figuring it would help identify the issue since I never received errors upon starting MagicMirror during any of these steps so my config file syntax must be fine. I found that the MMM-Weather-Now module is causing the blank (black) screen somehow, otherwise without that module the MagicMirror starts up fine.

      Any thoughts how I can troubleshoot the MMM-Weather-Now module to fix the issue?

      My config file for reference (private info obfuscated) sorry for the messy code:

        @schrutesbeets show the messages from the place where u start MM

        npm start
        or
        pm2

        if pm2, then pm2 logs --lines=???
        where ??? is a number, default is 15

        also, open the developers window, ctrl-shift-i on the mm keyboard, select the tab labeled ‘console’ and scroll up to see that errors

          looks like its the translation file
          translations/da.json

          which has a comment in it… not allowed in json

          
          {
              /* NOW key can be translated to "Lige nu", please provide footage or description of where and how it's used */
              "NOW":          "Nu",
              "FEELS_LIKE":   "Føles som"
          }
          

          remove that line.

          I opened issue https://github.com/nigel-daniels/MMM-Weather-Now/issues/6

          but its been 2 years since update, so unlikely
