      I am new to the Magic Mirror community and I am looking for some help. I had the mirror up and working until I just installed the MMM-OnSpotify module today. Now, when I “npm run start:windows” it gives me the following info in the LOG:

      When I exclude the MMM-OnSpotify module, this issue goes away and the other modules come up no problem. Can someone please help with this???

          @tteetzen in the short term you can change the module config, by replacing the config.language with the value of setting from language at the top of config.js

            @sdetweil I am not using the MMM-RemoteControl.
            The only other modules I have so far is Nest-Status and Screencast.

            Changing the module config language to ‘false’ allowed the program to launch and everything is functional now. It is just using the module default now.

            Thanks for the help!
