@sdetweil Yup, there’s an option in both modules.
In DailyXKCD:
randomComic Set to true, if you want to see a random comic on days, when there is no new comic.

In MMM-XKCD there’s also an alwaysRandom option:
randomComic bool false Display a random comic, where no new comic is available.
alwaysRandom bool false If you always want to see a random comic, even on days where a new comic is available. Note: Only effective if randomComic is set to true.

I’m currently running DailyXKCD, so If I’m reading that right, my config has updateInterval set to 3600000 which is 1h, I should get a new comic every hour (for testing!).

So I’ve tried both the DailyXKCD and MMM-XKCD but I can’t get either to update. They will refresh if I restart MM though.
This is my current extract: -

         module: 'DailyXKCD',
        position: 'top_right',
        config: {
            updateInterval: 3600000,
            grayScale: false,
            invertColors: true,
            limitComicWidth: 400,
            limitComicHeight: 0,
            randomComic: true,
            showTitle: true,
            }

Any ideas please?

@sdetweil It doesn’t work from Chrome 95.0.4638.54

@sdetweil No change ;(

@sdetweil
Sorry, I did try that but forgot to update the post!
It currently reads: -
autoplayPolicy: “no-user-gesture-required”
But still doesn’t autoplay

@sdetweil Thanks for all your help with this.
It’s still not autoplaying :(
I tried with the autoplayPolicy with the no-user-gesture-required so: -
autoplayPolicy: no-user-gesture-required,

C&P to eliminate typos!

So now the whole webpreferences entry reads: -

            webPreferences: {
                    autoplayPolicy: no-user-gesture-required,
                    contextIsolation: true,
                    nodeIntegration: false,
                    zoomFactor: config.zoom
            },

But MM doesn’t start!

@sdetweil No, Sorry, I’m not familiar with the webPreferences object param Can I trouble you to ELI5 :)

@sdetweil I just downgraded to 13.5.1 but still no auto play.

@sdetweil I did run npm install electron@latest but yes, I am running MM 2.17.1

Can anyone help please, I can’t get the feed to autoplay with Electron 15.3.0 even after adding the following
app.commandLine.appendSwitch(‘autoplay-policy’, ‘no-user-gesture-required’);
This is how the line looks in electron.js

function createWindow() {
app.commandLine.appendSwitch(‘autoplay-policy’, ‘no-user-gesture-required’);
let electronSwitchesDefaults = [“autoplay-policy”, “no-user-gesture-required”];
app.commandLine.appendSwitch(…new Set(electronSwitchesDefaults, config.electronSwitches));
let electronOptionsDefaults = {
