@ortizimo You’re welcome :)

In your config.js , you should have something like:

	{
		module: "clock",
		position: "top_left",	// This can be any of the regions.
		config: {
			// The config property is optional.
			// See 'Configuration options' for more information.
		}
	}

If you change the “top_left” to “top_center” or “top_bar” then it should centralise it.

You can see the full configuration options at the link below:
https://docs.magicmirror.builders/modules/clock.html

For the size you can change the analogSize parameter for the analog face. I can’t see where to do it for the digital one, but it can probably be done via a custom css setting.

I’m not a great expert with css though, so someone else can maybe help there?

Also just came across a clash between GmailFeed and both MMM-News and MMM-NewsAPI.

Seems my GmailFeed was a little out of date as a git pull updated stuff there and now they are playing nicely together. Must be something quite recent though as I’m sure I did a full mirror update not so long ago…?

@mumblebaj OK went into MMM-GmailFeed and updated it with git pull. Looks like it has been having some issues with at least one other module from its thread here.

Anyway updated to the latest version and restored it’s config and now both are happily playing together.

Thanks for all the help in getting this sorted out - my mirror is now back fully up and running with MMM-News and MMM-GmailFeed playing nicely together again!

@mumblebaj OK from some testing, there is a bad interaction with MMM-News, MMM-NewsAPI and MMM-Gmailfeed.

If I have Gmailfeed active, neither of the news modules work.
If I disable Gmailfeed, NewsAPI works but News doesn’t.
If I disable Gmailfeed and NewsAPI, News works.

So for now I’ve disabled Gmailfeed and removed NewsAPI, as MMM-News fits my needs better. But I would be interested to know what is going wrong, as I would ideally like both MMM-News and MMM-Gmailfeed running, like I used to have up to sometime last week (when MMM-News stopped displaying anything)…

I appreciate this is now moved from MMM-NewsAPI to MMM-News, so if you’d prefer to troubleshoot that in a different thread (is there one for MMM-News?) I’m happy to switch.

@mumblebaj It’s disagreeing with MMM-Gmailfeed

Commenting that out and the text and graphic appears, restore it and nothing.

Out of interest, what would be the recommended config for MMM-News to get the same (BBC content only, all items)?

I can’t get that to work either, even when MMM-NewsAPI is showing stuff? If possible I would prefer to use MMM-News, as that formatted things better for my mirror layout (as it’s an info-screen I like it vertical and bottom-centre layout).

@mumblebaj OK there it works.

Partitioning time…

@mumblebaj OK my mistake - I commented out the debugging after the earlier test. Sorry for the confusion!

Adding it back in and now I see the payload in the console.

Still nothing is being actually added in the display though.

I’ve also re-enabled MMM-News, and that isn’t displaying anything either.

@mumblebaj I’m not seeing anything like that. There are some errors for other modules (DigiClock and weather) but none for NewsAPI but no payload either

@mumblebaj In the console there if I filter for MMM-NewsAPI, I can see script and stylesheet loading, but nothing about payloads.

Where in that window do I need to be looking, is that the right place?

@mumblebaj How do I do that?

Normally I access the mirror via ssh, but I can use a keyboard/mouse on it if needed (it’s running in a PiTop Ceed).

@mumblebaj Below is a pastebinit of mm-out.log (I presume that’s what you want).

http://paste.debian.net/1231629/

From what I can see, it’s working there fine. It just doesn’t actually display anything?

I’m going to try moving it to the top of the screen just to make sure it’s not something stupid like it’s displaying it below the screen or something like that.

Edited to add - nope, moving it to the top just gives me the same title and divider bar, but this time at the top…

@ortizimo I use MMM-ModuleScheduler to do exactly this and works perfectly.

https://github.com/ianperrin/MMM-ModuleScheduler

In your config.js you just need to set it up something like this:

        {
            module: "MMM-ModuleScheduler",
            config: {
                global_schedule: [
                    {from: "0 7 * * *", to: "30 22 * * *", ignoreModules: ["alert", "updatenotification", "MMM-DigClock"]},
                    {from: "0 7 * * *", to: "30 22 * * *", dimLevel: "50", groupClass: "nightDim_scheduler"} ]
                    }
        },
        {
            module: "alert",
        },
        {
            module: "updatenotification",
            position: "top_bar",
            classes: "nightDim_scheduler",
        },
        {
            module: "MMM-DigClock",
            position: "top_center",
            classes: "nightDim_scheduler",
            config: {
                showDate: true,
                showWeek: false,
                showSeconds: true,
                dateFormat: "ddd DD MMM (W)",
                timezone: "Europe/London"
                }
        },

Mine there is set to remove all modules except alert, updatenotification and DigClock, some of which it instead dims by 50%.

You can see also there where I’ve assigned the digital clock module to the class to get the dimming.

@mumblebaj With your exact config above (only adding in my API key) I just get the news title and the divider bar. Nothing below it at all?

Very weird…

@mumblebaj Nothing I can see that’s relevant to MMM-NewsAPI:

http://paste.debian.net/1231616/

The config error (around line 98) was me trying a few different things in the set-up , and made a typo (forgot a comma).

Neither of the modules are giving any response for me. MMM-News was working about a week ago, and then just seemed to stop (or at least not display anything).

Has the BBC stopped making their feeds available to the API, I can’t see anything from them in the stream if I look via their website…

@mumblebaj - Thanks for the reply.

I corrected the case, but it’s made no difference.

Yes npm install ran on the folder after doing the git clone (and run again just now to check).

One thing I did notice when going onto the API site is that there doesn’t seem to be any content from the BBC in the feed. Shouldn’t affect the config above as it doesn’t use that domain for the moment, but may explain why the original MMM-News stopped working.

Also can I just confirm that MMM-News is now depreciated, and that MMM-NewsAPI is its successor (as you are author of both)?

I’m trying to set up this module on my mirror, as a replacement for the “MMM-News” one which seems to have stopped working.

I tried a few configs including the example ones (adding in my own API key) but all i get on the mirror is the title and nothing else?

The API key itself is working fine (tested via their website) but nothing is coming through to the mirror.

My config entry is below - can anyone see an issue?

                {
                        module: "MMM-NewsAPI",
                        header: "news",
                        position: "bottom_bar",
                        config: {
                                apiKey: "<redacted>",
                                type: "horizontal",
                                choice: "everything",
                                pageSize: 20,
                                sortBy: "publishedAt",
                                drawInterval: 1000*30,
                                templateFile: "template.html",
                                fetchInterval: 1000*60*60,
                                query: {
                                        country: "",
                                        category: "",
                                        q: "",
                                        qInTitle: "",
                                        sources: "",
                                        domains: "Cnn.com,Sky.com,News24.com",
                                        excludeDomains: "",
                                        language: ""
                                        }
                                }
                },

I used to have just BBC.co.uk in the old one and it worked fine, but now I can’t get anything to work?

@sdetweil - I did it via your update script, and it has updated Node from v10.x to v16.x (or at least that is what appears to have happened from what I could read).

It’s quite an old install that just sits on my desk and largely gets left to its own devices. It is in a PiTop Ceed rather than a true mirror, and basically the only thing it runs is MM (it’s actually a dual-boot via PINN also with RetroPie, but the Raspi OS partition is essentially only MM). So no need to keep things focussed to one app or anything like that - no issue of cross-contamination.

All is working fine after the update though, so no problems.

@sdetweil OK, thanks for the pointer.

Always kinda worried when that style of message pops up, for security and suchlike.

I see from the update that my node is very much out of date, so now just backing things up before setting the update script onto it to try and bring that up too.

Just wanted to say thanks for the fix here.

Did an update and hit exactly this with MMM-GmailFeed and the request module.

Installed it back (with an audit fix afterwards) and now all up and running again :)

Thanks, that makes sense, and indeed Chrome is happily remembering the setting too.

I wasn’t sure whether the zoom was being applied pre- or post-rendering. But your explanation makes sense, and the solution of doing it “manually” works fine.
