@Bugsounet ok thanks, let me know if I can do anything to help.

swvalenti

Anything I can do in the mean time to troubleshoot to help get this resolved. It is happening now, I looked in the dev window but didn’t see any errors. I don’t know where else to look. Attached should show the news on the bottom bar but nothing there. Thanks, Scott

@Bugsounet Just circling back on this…would it be easier if I created an issue on github or leave it here?

@swvalenti whos news? did u look in the console window where u started MM?

or pm2 logs if using pm2?

news and calendar use the node_helper to fetch info…

swvalenti

Thanks Sam, checked the pm2 logs and unbeknownst to me…they now went to a paid tier api it seems!

@swvalenti said in MMM-News:

50 requests available every 12 hours

change the refresh rate to 15 minutes that would be 48 per 12 hours

swvalenti

@sdetweil I don’t see that as an option in the config…

sdetweil

@swvalenti edit line 48 of node_helper.js

change

    this.scanInterval = 1000*60*10

to this

    this.scanInterval = 1000*60*15
