But they’re still not updated…

I also tried to open the MM in Chromium and then hit F12. But i didnt see anything suscpicious there…

Last i tried “pm2 log mm”. And it gave me some errors:

Espacially the last log confuses me. Do i have a syntax problem?

Any suggestions how to do further analysis on this or a good hint what to do now?

Medo

Managed to get it working again. Cant say, what went wrong before. Thread can be closed…

@Medo
I tried to inplement multiplr Feeds but my confic will display only the last one.

What is wrong in my config?

            {
                    module: 'newsfeed',
                    position: 'bottom_bar',
                    config: {
                            feeds: [
                                    {
                                    title: "Süddeutsche Zeitung",
                                    url: "http://rss.sueddeutsche.de/rss/Topthemen",

                                    }

@lolobyte

Try to look at the original files which came in the downloaded package. I also had problems and realized later, that i had forgotten some characters…

In your case, i think you have to put each title and url in parentheses. Look at my example from above and also dont miss commas…

Something like this:

                               {
                                title: "Süddeutsche Zeitung",
                                url: "http://rss.sueddeutsche.de/rss/Topthemen",
                                },
                                title: "Tagesschau",
                                url: "http://www.tagesschau.de/xml/rss2",
                                "http://www.stimme.de/storage/rss/rss/regioticker/regioticker.xml",
                                 }

As i mentioned above - take the original files as reference, go throug it character by character and you will get it some trys later…

@Medo
oh, yes👍 .
Now I see my fault!

Thank you.
I just try it when I’m back home.

Have a nice day

Medo

Sad to say, but my problem keeps coming back.
I installed a fresh version of the MagicMirror software - but still the newsfeed stops updating some times later (hours, days)

Dont know, how to interprete this error log (even dont know, if its the source of my problem) - but i think i got some sort of a connection timeout. But where and why?

See:

Thanks in advance…

@Medo In my experience the source itself can be an issue. See my post here, I ditched these two RSS feed and no more trouble : https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/2116/newsfeed-default-module-get-stuck-after-first-rss-download-and-does-not-refresh-reliably

So it’s not constant behaviour.

Medo

@poutr
Guess what: You were right!

I changed from two rss-feed to only one and also took a site, which provides an URL which ends with .xml
And see: No error since 7 days… The newsfeed is updating frequently and no errors ocurring…
It seems, like there are sites which are not that available as i thought and they drop calls from time to time. But the mirror does not like those…

Perfect! You gave me the right hint! Thanks a lot @poutr!
