MMM - NewsFeed Ticker Hangs

Matthewlawson3

@sdetweil Ok I made the changes in the fetcher file hopefully. I really am kinda lost though as to what we are trying to do exactly. My main concern is that it goes to all 4 of the sources listed. NYT, USA Today, BBC, and Ars Technica. I haven’t seen Ars Technica at all.

I may just give up and find another good news module.

@matthewlawson3

the modules collects all the entries and makes a big list, and then the module sorts them by published date.

there could be over 300 entries… each takes 10 seconds, 3000 seconds is 5 hours,
but the reload interval is 60 minutes, so it will wipe out the list and start over…

@sdetweil Okay. So looking at it now, I added in Fox News and took out Ars Technica. It shows me Fox News, NYT, USA Today, but doesn’t show BBC which is still in the feeds area.
Also, it seems to reset and replay a headline before it finishes it the first time.

@matthewlawson3 not my module, just trying to help out.

Matthewlawson3

@sdetweil I understand. Sorry.

Any other news modules you recommend? May try another.

sdetweil

@matthewlawson3 no idea… I just use the default, only cause its there…

@sdetweil Okay. Thanks for trying to help! Much Appreciated.

@sdetweil @cowboysdude I am beginning to think I have something wrong with my code or that there is something wrong with my instance of MM. I went back to the default news module and added BBC, USA Today, and Fox News to the list and all I see displaying are BBC headlines. Now when I comment out BBC, Fox News will show. Odd. Can you see if you can see anything in my code? I have no idea what is going on. It has been on for 10 minutes and never leaves BBC.

@matthewlawson3 remember, it sorts them by published date… I will have to download the feeds and look at the dates

@sdetweil so you think perhaps the BBC headlines are the latest?

I commented out the other news ticker we were discussing. Do you think it might be causing an issue? Should I uninstall?
