      Hi, I am trying to configure the MMM-NewsFeedTicker module and it is hanging on one or two sources and never gets to the other sources. Can anyone help with this? Below is my code. Also, is there anyway to delay the fade to the other news stories until the current story finishes its line of text?

      Just to note I did change the speed at which the text moves and I did change the ticker itself to none for the background.

      {
      	disabled: false,
      	module: "MMM-NewsFeedTicker",
      	position: "bottom_bar",
      	//classes: "day_scheduler",
      	config: {
      	    feeds: [
      		{
      			title: "New York Times",
      			url: "http://www.nytimes.com/services/xml/rss/nyt/HomePage.xml",
      			customLogo: "NYT_logo_rss_250x40.png"
      		},
      		{
      			title: "USA Today",
      			url: "http://rssfeeds.usatoday.com/UsatodaycomNation-TopStories",
      			customLogo: "RSS_Syndication_Logo-USATN.png"
      		},
      		{
      			title: "BBC World News",
      			url: "http://feeds.bbci.co.uk/news/world/rss.xml#",
      			customLogo: "bbc_news_120x60.gif"
      		},
      		{
      			title: "Ars Technica",
      			url: "http://feeds.arstechnica.com/arstechnica/technology-lab",
      			customLogo: "arstechnica.jpg"
      		}
      		
          	    ]
      	}
          },

          @cowboysdude the one at the link below. It just seems that it will hang on one source and keeps repeating that source instead of fading out and going to the other sources. I added Ars Technica. Could that be the issue?

          Click the link to see

          What do you recommend for another news ticker?

              I just installed it. Running for 10 minutes, flawlessly, using the default config entry.

              Nice module, Jim! 🙂

              EDIT:

              It is NOT working properly. The 5 or 6 news items keep repeating

                @mykle1 interesting.

                Like I said changed in the .css file the background to none and I also made a change in the speed of the ticker to 2000 in the MMM-NewsFeedTicker.js file. Could that be causing issues? Or maybe my Ars Technica addition is causing issues for some reason.

                    Okay. At least I know it is not something I did.

                    General question: How does one uninstall a module? Or do you just comment it or // it out?

                      @matthewlawson3 You can delete it from your config entry and go to the MagicMirror/modules directory find the module and delete it so for example :

                      MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Whatever

                      You go to MagicMirror/modules
                      then delete the MMM-Whatever directory…

                      Gone!

                        You can comment out the config entry or delete the entry.

                        Easiest way to delete the module itself. Click your way to the modules folder, enter the modules folder, trash the MMM-NewsFeedTicker.
