      Im trying to put this RSS (http://www.cmjornal.pt/rss) but the module just stays on “loading”
      Any guesses?

        @goncalovsc Does the default config work, showing NYT headlines?

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

        What happens when you run the following in the terminal from your MM?

        curl http://www.cmjornal.pt/rss
        

        Does this mean you succeeded in installing MM given your earlier post?

        Problem with config or JavaScript? Copy/paste it into JSHint.

              @goncalovsc That was just to check that the MM could reach cmjornal.pt.

              Hmm, if it works with NYT, it may have a problem parsing your RSS feed. Start your MM with npm start dev to see errors in both Terminal and the Chrome/Electron JavaScript console.

              The RSS feed contains errors, but it still loads for me:

                This is my newsfeed.js file

                // Default module config.
                	defaults: {
                		feeds: [
                			{
                				title: "Ultimas Noticias",
                				url: "http://www.cmjornal.pt/rss",
                				encoding: "UTF-8" //ISO-8859-1
                			}
                		],
                		showSourceTitle: true,
                		showPublishDate: true,
                		showDescription: false,
                		wrapTitle: true,
                		wrapDescription: true,
                		truncDescription: true,
                		lengthDescription: 400,
                		hideLoading: false,
                		reloadInterval: 5 * 60 * 1000, // every 5 minutes
                		updateInterval: 10 * 1000,
                		animationSpeed: 2.5 * 1000,
                		maxNewsItems: 0, // 0 for unlimited
                		ignoreOldItems: false,
                		ignoreOlderThan: 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000, // 1 day
                		removeStartTags: "",
                		removeEndTags: "",
                		startTags: [],
                		endTags: [],
                		prohibitedWords: []
                	},
                
                	// Define required scripts.
                	getScripts: function() {
                		return ["moment.js"];
                	},
                

                Any idea why its stuck on loading?

                  @goncalovsc Is that your full newsfeed.js file? That is definitely not the complete file. Suggest running git checkout ~/MagicMirror/modules/newsfeed.js in Terminal.

                  Best practice is to not edit your module files (e.g. newsfeed.js). Instead, override the defaults with your own settings in config/config.js.

                  Problem with config or JavaScript? Copy/paste it into JSHint.

                    Thanks for the help, it was an “http://” that was missing :p
                    But Now i have the se=ame problem that you had, a lot of "?"appears in special caracthers like “ç”, “ó”, etc.
                    Any solution?
