@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).

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…
