@Bugsounet still getting the same error in the logs and news not displaying because of it. Below is my config. Any ideas?

},
		{
  		module: "MMM-News",
  		position: "bottom_bar",
  		config: {
    		apiKey : "XXXXXXXXX",
    		type: "horizontal",
    		query : [
      		{
        	sources: "fox-news, fox-sports",
},
      {
        country: "us",
        className: "redTitle",
      },
    ],
	touchable: false,
	scanInterval: 1000*60*15
  }
},

limited to 100 query by day and 50 query for 12 hours

It’s not me who have set this limit but it’s news api
and sorry, i don’t work in news api too ! :)

so now just a little calc…

you have 10 query and refresh is set to 15m

for one query for one hour (every 15min) => 4 query
for 10 query for one hour (every 15 min) => 4*10 = 40 query

in 12 hours with one query => 12 * 4 = 48 query / 50 max
in 12 hours with 10 query => 12* 40 = 480 query / 50 max

in 24 hours with one query => 24 * 4 => 96 query / 100 Max
in 24 hours with 10 query => 24*40 => 960 query / 100 max

That why you have this error… and I just calc the number of query

{
   sources: "fox-news, fox-sports",
},

–> result: it take 9 query (take a lot of resource)

{
   country: "us",
   className: "redTitle",
 },

–> result: it take just one query

Note: personnaly, i use only redTitle of my country
Note 2: i will add soon a counter for calc if number of query is correct

@Bugsounet Ok thanks for the detailed explanation. Here is my config now so hopefully this should resolve it.

  		module: "MMM-News",

    		apiKey : "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX",
    		type: "horizontal",

perfect, it should work perfectly now

Oddly the sizing of the module just randomly changed and got smaller. How do I make the entire module bigger to fill out the bottom_bar? I went into CSS but nothing I did seem to change anything.

swvalenti

I added this to custom css but just doesn’t look right. What could have changed the sizing as nothing was updated from the default install? I uninstalled and re-installed and same thing.

body  {
transform:scale(1.0);
}
.MMM-News {
transform:scale(1,1.75);
}

“Oddly”, i have not touch to the css code
and “Oddly” i don’t touche the main code
and “Oddly” I run this module in 3 differents RPI
and “Oddly” … this is no problem !

so try to disable all module one by one (except this modules), disable custom.css too

and “Oddly”, you will see : it works…

Hi everyone, newby here… first of all, MMM-news is great, thanks for make it… i am building a MM for my GF Bday.
i want to know 2 things, it is possible to add QR to MMM-news? and anyone knows if there is any API about lifestyle and fashion?

DJBOOB66

@killk MMM-NewsFeed it has QR

KillK

@djboob66 i have try it, but isn`t possible on windows

swvalenti

Images stopped working the other day. I don’t see anything in the logs or dev window. Any thoughts?

swvalenti

Seems like the module might not be maintained anymore by developer but seems like they’re several active contributors. How do I fix the image issue when I don’t see much in the logs? Willing to learn and fix this as there are not really any news options for the MM anymore. Thanks, Scott
