@laschalkh said in trouble with MMM-GoogleTrafficTimes:

/home/pi/MagicMirror/config/config.js:73

^^^^^^^^^^^^^
SyntaxError: Unexpected identifier

rule number 1 debugging syntax errors:

IF you see ’ Unexpected identifier’, find the line number
config.js:73

back up one line (72), and check for the missing , at the end

                                width: '300px'                                   <  ---

I see it, damn, I’ve stared at that for way too long, rebooting…

sdetweil

@laschalkh you don’t need to reboot all the time, just restart mm…

laschalkh

it’s working now. Thank you for all of the help!

I have been playing around with this and it works well. However, it doesn’t like when you trying to get times for another travel mode. It will change the icons, but the times are always for driving. I played with the file and forced the cycling mode but then it won’t show up on the screen. I think the issue is the Distance Matrix API returns unexpected information for the other modes.

Can someone help point me in the right direction? Thanks
