Hello everyone, I’m currently working on a relatively newly installed instance of MagicMirror and discovered the MMM config. At first, it worked very well. Unfortunately, I now only get this message “builder encountered a problem, see MagicMirror messages for info” when accessing the configure page. I found a post here that describes a similar problem, but nothing there fixed my “problem” https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/19305/rookie-question-builder-encountered-a-problem-see-magicmirror-messages-for-info there it looks like “ @ sdetweil ” fixed the problem. and i found nothing MMM-Config releated in the log Files. on npm run config:check magicmirror@2.30.0 config:check node js/check_config.js [2025-03-24 02:50:15.997] [INFO] Checking config file

@ dphotograph you can use that module again now in the MMM-Config folder do git pull then restart MagicMirror

@ dphotograph you should have seen this in the logs, MagicMirror startup messages --------------------MMM-Config module MMM-SteamPlaytime has an error in the construction of its defaults section the error line is language: "---!config.languag"e please change it to the literal value of the referenced variable and restart MagicMirror --------------------MMM-Config because you are using pm2, you will have to ask to display more lines of output than the default 15 for example pm2 logs --lines=100 100 can be any number, default is last 15…
