Nothing just yet, been a bit under the weather with the flu. Keep falling asleep or losing concentration.

I will keep trudging through. :winking_face:

If anyone is interested…

Adding the following will scroll the image with the article, but it will stop at the left while the rest of the article finishes scrolling:

@Keyframes marqueeImage {
0% {left: 100%;}
100% {left: 0;}
}

.MMM-NewsFeedTicker .image {
position: absolute;
display: inline-block;
vertical-align: middle;
margin-left: 0;
height: 100px;
z-index: 1;
background-color: rgb(175, 175, 175);
animation: marqueeImage 20s linear;
}

@justjim1220 althought I know ZERO about developing, JSON, CSS & Co. I was doing a quick search on Google about scrolling text stuttering in Electron on slow devices and I found out a suggestion at Stackoverflow.com that actually improved A LOT the overall perfomance of the newsfeed scrolling!

Go open /home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-NewsFeedTicker/MMM-NewsFeedTicker and replace

.MMM-NewsFeedTicker .tickerbody {
  position: relative;

with

.MMM-NewsFeedTicker .tickerbody {
  position: relative;
  transform: translateZ(0);
  backface-visibility: hidden;

You should notice now an improvement. :upside-down_face:

This error you got is just letting you know it can’t overwrite file within the module that you made any changes to
You have to rename the file or delete it or just remove it from the directory
