Unrecognized Config file

KirAsh4

Do not copy/paste from one OS to another, the language translations between them will be different, UTF-8, Windows, it’s all foobar. Edit the config file ON the rpi. You can use the command 'nano' for that, as in 'nano config.js'. Doing the copy/paste is why your ‘'’, ‘"’ and others get translated wrong.

Thanks KirAsh4. I am assuming that you meant to open the actual Terminal and edit the config file directly from within that environment, which is what I did with still no luck.

At this point I really don’t know what else to do. I am going to try and essentially start over from the beginning and see if I have better luck.

Yep, open Terminal and edit there, or use an SSH client remotely. The config is a bit finicky I discovered. Try not to change the layout too much, like for example, in your pastes above, I see this:

}, {

… in between modules. While I don’t think that would cause a problem, it also wouldn’t surprise me if that’s tripping up the parser. Keep them on separate lines:

},
{

Hi KirAsh4 -

After walking back through this setup tutorial again (https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/236/complete-setup-tutorial/) I am happy to report that I am no longer getting the error message asking about setting up a config file. Instead I now arrive at a blank black screen, absent any copy or modules. Do you know what might be causing this to occur?

Likely a bug recently discovered. Follow the instructions in the first post here to try the 'develop' branch:
