Sorry @justjim1220 I noticed only now that you removed the newsfeed ticker background in your latest screenshots.

I would like to try that out and see if performance improves. :)
How do you do that?

In the css file, just change background-color: maroon; to background: none;
can be done with the image as well, but that could make the image difficult to see.

OK, thanks.

Update:
When not using a background then overall performance improves! :thumbs_up_medium-light_skin_tone:

Although I am using the UTF-8 encoding for ALL of my newsfeeds accented letters (i.e é, à, etc.) and currency symbols (i.e €) are not displayed properly.

Any idea why?

		{
			module: "MMM-NewsFeedTicker",
			position: "bottom_bar",
			disabled: false,
			//classes: "day_scheduler"
			config: {
			    feeds: [
					{
						title: "Hardware Upgrade",
						url: "https://feeds.hwupgrade.it/rss_hwup.xml",
						encoding: "UTF-8", //ISO-8859-1
						className: "myClass",
						defaultLogo : ""
					}
			    	    ]
				}
		    }

@cr4z33 said in MMM-NewsFeedTicker:

you might have better luck using encoding: "ISO-8859-15" or encoding: "ISO-8859-9"
The latter one is supposed to work best with European characters

So is there a way to use this without the scrolling function to ease up on CPU usage?

@cyberphox if you don’t want it to scroll then why don’t you use the default newsfeed module of MagicMirror? :thinking_face:

@cr4z33 I like the logo feature with multiple feeds
