    • RE: Newbie question on updates

      @Mykle1 Thanks very much. I did this and git pull downloaded a brand new Scrobbler.js file. I’ve left the username and API Key areas as is. Works fine, so far no messages!

    • RE: Newbie question on updates

      @Mykle1 I looked over the file, and honestly I am not good enough to be modifying files, believe me. I did notice in the MMM-Scobbler file that my username and API key appear there. I really cant remember entering this info there, but I do recall entering this in the main config.js file. Do these two parameters automatically get transferred over to the Scrobbler file?

    • RE: Newbie question on updates

      @Mykle1 I did? I don’t remember doing that. I guess I’ll have to either start over, or examine the file. Thank you.

    • RE: Newbie question on updates

      @Mykle1 Yes, I ran git pull while in the MMM-Scrobbler directory and got “error: your local changes to the following files would be overwritten by merge: MMM-Scrobbler.js

      Please commit your changes or stash them before you can merge.
      Aborting”

      @Mykle1 Ran both, still getting the ‘Update available’ message at the top of my screen This is specific to MMM-Scrobbler of course.

    • RE: Weather from a different source

      @cowboysdude I see the split window but am not familiar that level of troubleshooting. So I can’t really tell what’s happening. All other modules work just fine, but MMM-NOAA is a no show.
      I have an API key, have selected the specific weather station ID relevant to me, and other than adding that comma, the .js file is virgin.

    • RE: Weather from a different source

      @Mykle1 I added the comma and it doesn’t crash anymore, but nothing shows up on the mirror either. Maybe because I already have another module in top_right ?

    • RE: Weather from a different source

      @Mykle1 Can’t seem to get this running. Copied the code and dropped it in. config:check is telling me there is a problem with the last line with { } issues. But the coding is straightforward as far as I can see with only one set of nested { and }symbols. What gives?

    • Weather from a different source

      I currently use the openweathermap function to display the weather on my mirror.

      Just wondering if there are other apps that might work, providing (I guess) that an appid is available? I would like to display the info from a weatherunderground link.

      Can I do that?

    • RE: MMM-Scrobble question - confused re: API

      @pyrosmiley Thanks. I am using an iPad mini to listen to music via Spotify. Although I did not see a “Preferences” button, I did find a last.fm on/off switch within the Spotify app on my iPad. So at least that’s done. But don’t i have to do something with the new config.js file I grabbed? On the rPi, I mean? Right now its just sitting in a separate new folder I made for it when I downloaded it. I’ve enteredthe API into that file.

      Maybe I’m making this overly complex?..

    • RE: MMM-Scrobble question - confused re: API

      @pyrosmiley , thanks so much! I am weak on this stuff, so I appreciate some advice. I have downloaded the config file, I have an API , and a last.fm account, but don’t know what to do next.I found the instructions on the last.fm web site hoplessly confusing!

      Anyway, if you can point me in the right direction, it would be much appreciated !

    • RE: MMM-Scrobble question - confused re: API

      Thanks. I managed to get it eventually.

      One thing… do you need a subscription to Spotify for this to work? Right now I just use the free mode, but have a suspicion I need to subscribe?

    • MMM-Scrobble question - confused re: API

      Sorry, another newbie question here…in order to set this up I need an API key from last.fm but don’t know how to do this.

      What do I put into the fields for Callback URL and Application Homepage?!

      Thanks so much. A simple comma was missing, who knew?.

    • Adding a second news feed.

      Hi folks:

      Complete newbie here.

      I am really weak on coding, but the other day I did manage to add a second feed on my bottom bar. It was nice, because they alternated every few seconds.

      { and }.

      I’ve used npm run config:check but am getting nowhere. I am currently running OK with the single news feed.
      Thanks in advance.
