<![CDATA[XKCD not updating]]>So I’ve tried both the DailyXKCD and MMM-XKCD but I can’t get either to update. They will refresh if I restart MM though.
This is my current extract: -

         module: 'DailyXKCD',
        position: 'top_right',
        config: {
            updateInterval: 3600000,
            grayScale: false,
            invertColors: true,
            limitComicWidth: 400,
            limitComicHeight: 0,
            randomComic: true,
            showTitle: true,
            }

Any ideas please?

open the developers window, ctrl-shift-i, select the tab labeled console, and put a unique part of the module name in the filter field (xkcd)

see if there are any errors reported

i did what the node_helper does to get an image, and it looks good…

In DailyXKCD:
randomComic Set to true, if you want to see a random comic on days, when there is no new comic.

In MMM-XKCD there’s also an alwaysRandom option:
randomComic bool false Display a random comic, where no new comic is available.
alwaysRandom bool false If you always want to see a random comic, even on days where a new comic is available. Note: Only effective if randomComic is set to true.

I’m currently running DailyXKCD, so If I’m reading that right, my config has updateInterval set to 3600000 which is 1h, I should get a new comic every hour (for testing!).
