            Maybe it has something to do with the

            npm install

            sometimes I had to run (as discribed at the mod-pages)?

            I’ll try to pull the modules in the right folder and give it a try

                Hell…thats it!

                I’ve reinstalled the “not-working” / not showing modules INTO the /modules folder and it simply works!

                Have a big thanks @sdetweil !

                Its not always a filesystem-problem, sometimes the problem is right in front of the keyboard :D

                      @stephen You can start MM with developer mode. This can be done by using the cmd shell inside the MagicMirror folder and run the following command:

                      npm start dev
                      

                      or when you’re MM is already running use the shortcut ctrl+shift+I. This article from @Mykle1 gives you all the info you need.

                      All of this can be done will using VNC. (I use VNC as well :smiling_face_with_smiling_eyes: )

                      Good luck!

                        I maybe wrong but should there be quote marks around any words that are in orange. My mirror has no quotes around any of those words. That’s what stood out to me.
