      Hi all,

      I dont know if anyone could help me. I recently installed MagicMirror on my Raspberry Pi B+ but since its the 1st version, I have it running in serveronly. NPM installed fine with no errors and I have the latest version of node.js installed in the MM directory. For some reason, both my newsfeed and calendar modules are stuck with “loading…”. Here is my config file https://pastebin.com/L0itN9AN

        @vindoan Quick basic questions: Do you have a working internet connection to your Raspberry? Can you start the desktop and use the embedded browser to surf to any particular website?

        Is the weather coming up for your mirror correctly?

          @vindoan said in Newsfeed and Calendar not loading:

          I just tested your config file. It loaded right up with the calendar displaying correctly. However, as you stated, your newsfeed was hung on “Loading”. So, I substituted another newfeed url for your “Wired” url and it worked fine. I then went to the Wired Newsfeed site and tried a few url’s from different categories, all of which failed in the newsfeed module. I then tried my favorite “NASA” newsfeed url https://www.nasa.gov/rss/dyn/solar_system.rss and it fired right up.

          I’m thinking Wired’s newsfeed is the problem.

            @vindoan I have the same problem (RP0) in serveronly mode.

            If the newsfeed is broken, that is okay, but my calendar (shared iCloud calendar) is always in the state of “loading”.

            Does anyone know a solution?

                @Mykle1 Thanks for the tip, I already tried http://rss.nytimes.com/services/xml/rss/nyt/HomePage.xml too and that didnt see to work either.

                  Well, this is the default NY Times url, which is somewhat different from the url you posted above.
                  http://www.nytimes.com/services/xml/rss/nyt/HomePage.xml

                  {
                  		module: "newsfeed",
                  		position: "bottom_bar",
                  		config: {
                  			feeds: [
                  				{
                  					title: "New York Times",
                  					url: "http://www.nytimes.com/services/xml/rss/nyt/HomePage.xml"
                  				}
                  				],
                  				showSourceTitle: true,
                  				showPublishDate: true
                  			}
                  		},
                  

                  Create a working config

                    @Mykle1 if you follow the link, the URL changes and I copied that one. I tried both the default one and the one posted and both didnt work at all.

                      Im not sure if this is important or not. Im on nodejs version 0.10.29 (stable). There is a more current version but for some reason its not updating to it. Im not sure if thats the issue.\

                        I FIGURED IT OUT, nodejs had to at least 0.10.40 to work with the modules, had to follow this post to force update it https://raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/questions/48303/install-nodejs-for-all-raspberry-pi
