@Sean Thank you so much. That worked and it’s running again!

Hey,
i’m fairly new to the scene. After working on the config file for the whole day it suddenly wouldn’t start anymore. No config file error. Just a black screen.

I ran my config file through: https://esprima.org/demo/validate.html
and it said valid.

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ cd ~/MagicMirror
pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror $ npm start

> magicmirror@2.8.0 start /home/pi/MagicMirror
> sh run-start.sh

MagicMirror will not quit, but it might be a good idea to check why this happened. Maybe no internet connection?
If you think this really is an issue, please open an issue on GitHub: https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/issues

Can anyone tell me why the file can’t be read
Thanks
