What is your opinion on the Asus Tinkerboard? would he fix the problem?

I don’t have an opinion on the Tinkerboard. I’ve never used one, but there are several people on the forum that have. Perhaps then will chime in with their opinions. Good luck.

@justjim1220 Have you ever managed to get this resolved? I a not getting the image from my 1 local news feed pulled in and not sure what else I can do to see if I can get it to come through.
The news feed is from: http://feeds.news24.com/articles/news24/SouthAfrica/rss
and the image is supposed to come from: https://scripts.24.co.za/img/sites/news24.png

I have never used a Tinkerboard, so no thoughts regarding the use of one. Apologies!

@mrSnatz
I didn’t test this module on ATB, but ATB is definitely stronger than RPI.
However apart from this module, you have more option nowadays. I think you can consider RK3399 or S922X. I especially recommend Jetson Nano at this moment for powerful GPU. RockPi 4 or NanoPi M4 is also good for overall performance.

Please update your MMM-NewsFeedTicker and run it to see if it is working the way you are wanting.

git pull

Thanks!

I run MM on a dedicated Intel NUC and I still occure this stuttering you are talking about. I noticed that the suttering appears when “MMM-ImagesPhotos” loads new pictures in slideshow mode. I was able to reduce this stuttering by reducing the size of the images…

What I try to say “the power” does not help. I think the code is sometimes “sloppy”. Not that I could do anything better in terms of coding but just my 2cent…

Hi guys! I know that this topic is quite old, but I am trying to add this module to my magic mirror unsuccesfully.
I added in the “config.js” file the module but it doesn’t show up. Any ideas on what i’ve done wrong?

modules: [
	{
		module: "alert",
	},
	{
		module: "updatenotification",
		position: "top_bar"
	},
	{
		module: "clock",
		position: "top_left"
	},
	{
		module: "calendar",
		header: "Calendario di Google",
		position: "top_left",
		config: {
			calendars: [
				{
					symbol: "calendar-check",
					url: "MY CALENDAR"					}
			]
		}
	},
	{
		module: "compliments",
		position: "lower_third"
	},
	{
		module: "currentweather",
		position: "top_right",
		config: {
			location: "Savona, Italy",
			locationID: "6542009", //ID from http://bulk.openweathermap.org/sample/city.list.json.gz; unzip the gz file and find your city
			appid: "MYAPPID"
		}
	},
	{
		module: "weatherforecast",
		position: "top_right",
		header: "Previsioni Meteo:",
		config: {
			location: "Savona, Italy",
			locationID: "6542009", //ID from http://bulk.openweathermap.org/sample/city.list.json.gz; unzip the gz file and find your city
			appid: "MYAPPID"
		}
	},
	{
		module: "newsfeed",
		position: "bottom_bar",
		config: {
			feeds: [
				{

				}
			],
			showSourceTitle: true,
			showPublishDate: true,
			broadcastNewsFeeds: true,
			broadcastNewsUpdates: true
		}
	},

{
disabled: false,
module: “MMM-NewsFeedTicker”,
position: “bottom_bar”,
//classes: “day_scheduler”,
config: {
feeds: [
{

};

Thanks in advance!

What does “check.config” do?

sdetweil

@Giarry88 ok, I hate this thing.
npm run config:check

It checks the config.js file

Ok, i’ve checked and corrected it with geanie and now the syntax is correct but it still doesn’t show it on mm

@Giarry88 open the developers window ctrl-shift-i on the keyboard, and select the console tab and scroll up to see any errors.

@Giarry88 sounds like u didn’t install the module in the right place

I’ve nstalled it in the Modules folders (outside of the Default folder, correct?)

says file not there

you can get rid of this one by creating an empty custom.css (my installation script does this)

:1 Refused to apply style from ‘http://localhost:8080/css/custom.css’ because its MIME type (‘text/html’) is not a supported stylesheet MIME type, and strict MIME checking is enabled

touch ~/MagicMirror/css/custom.css

so…
I created the custom.css (but I’ve added the command for removing the borders, because I had it in the main.css - yes…i know…my bad :grimacing_face: - also it seems I can’t remove the spacing at the top, but this is a ittle bit OT) now as you said it previously that error disappeared.

Now I have only

Load script: modules/MMM-NewsFeedTicker//MMM-NewsFeedTicker.js
GET http://localhost:8080/modules/MMM-NewsFeedTicker//MMM-NewsFeedTicker.js net::ERR_ABORTED 404 (Not Found)
Error on loading script: modules/MMM-NewsFeedTicker//MMM-NewsFeedTicker.js

But this morning I’ve installed an other module (MMM-networrk-signal) in the same way and it is working properly

Load script: modules/MMM-network-signal//MMM-network-signal.js
Module registered: MMM-network-signal

I am confused…

EDIT

My mistake was that I didn’t put capital letters in the name of the folder (I didn’t think it would have mattered)…
Now I can see the red bar with “Loading” and in the console it keeps showing :

MMM-NewsFeedTicker - unknown notification, ignoring: CLOCK_SECOND
MMM-NewsFeedTicker - received notification: CLOCK_SECOND

linux is case sensitive… windows is not

look in the console where u start ed MagicMirror

if pm2, the use the pm2 logs --lines=100 command to view the logs…

the error more than likely is a bad url, ???

I don’t know why, when I closed and Opened again Magic Mirror, it wasn’t working at all; so I started with the backup of the config file and now it is working everything, ticker included. I think that I just needed to remove the default feed (especially the url - I was asking him to load the same feed on both modules -).
Now I only have an issue with the stuttering ticker (but I’ve read something about it so I will try solving it by looking at those posts).

Thanks again sdetweil, especially for your patience!
