@arifms

I assume that your mirror was working until you added MMM-PrayerTime to your config.js. So, please post your config.js here.

[arifms]

Yes Exactly MM was working as required until i added the MMM-PrayerTime. As reuested below is the config.js

The config isn’t working. I had to change this:

language: config.language,

TO:

language: “en”,

and this:

timezone: true,
to
timezone: ‘EST’

and it worked… so change your language and timezone that should make it work

Here is an example: [the lon and lat are JUST examples, use yours].
{
module: ‘MMM-PrayerTime’,
position: ‘top_left’,
top_left/top_right.
config: {
apiVersion: ‘1.0’,
lat: 12.089796,
lon: -56.807734,
timezone: ‘EST’,
method: 5,
playAdzan: [‘fajr’, ‘dhuhr’, ‘asr’, ‘maghrib’, ‘isha’],
notDisplayed: [‘midnight’, ‘sunset’],
useUpdateInterval: true,
updateInterval: 86400 * 1000,
animationSpeed: 2.5 * 1000,
language: “en”,
showAdzanAlert: true,
alertTimer: 15000
}
},

Hi cowboysdude;
Appreciate your assistance.
I copied the example as provided, editign the lat, long & timezone to suit mine, however it still throws error.
carefully checked the code, noted an extra line after position, removed the same.
tried running again, with no luck.
changed my timezone on pi to UTC from Asia/Dubai and same in to the code, still no result.
it throws error as below;
Starting MagicMirror: v2.1.1

Post your config file for me so I can look at it

@arifms if you copied the config from @cowboysdude you are using the wrong quotes replace all quotes with either ' or ", because backticks don’t work

[cowboysdude]

I just linted his config and sent it to him pm…
