I appreciate the suggestion, unfortunately someone else built this mirror for me and it has multiple pages of widgets that were preconfigured for me. So the config file is pretty complex and points to that old module in various config settings. When I try to update the name of the old module to the new one and reboot MM, it just goes to a black screen.

Would you have any idea what the expired certificate error could mean in my previous log post? I’m just wondering if it’s something I can fix on my end to make the old module work again.

If it’s not too much trouble could you post me a clean config for the new module with the settings from my current one applied? I’m sure some of these old settings are messing with your new module.

Again I really appreciate your assistance on this.

See below

disabled: false,
classes: “hide”,
module: “MMM-News”,
position: “middle_center”,
config: {
debug: false,
apiKey: “”,// set your newsapi.org API Key
type: “vertical”, // “horizontal”, “vertical” You can make your own type with CSS class selector.

// See https://newsapi.org/sources for available query options('sources' or `country`, `category`).
query : [
  {
    sources: "the-verge",
    // A comma-seperated string of identifiers for the news sources or blogs you want headlines from.
    // Too many `sources` at once could make API error. If you want, split them to several queries.
    // `sources` are not able to be mixed with `country` and `category`.
  },


],
items: 20, // number of how many headlines to get from each query. max 100
timeFormat: "relative", // Or You can use "YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss" format.
drawInterval: 1000*30, // How long time each article will be shown.
scanInterval: 1000*60*30, // Delay before rescan news (limited to 100 query by day and 50 query for 12 hours)
touchable: false, // When you have a touchable or clickable interface on your MM.
templateFile: "template.html"

}
},

Hi there, thanks for the response. When I went to reinstall this module it was pulling from your git repository, so I assumed it was yours as well.

If I am wrong please let me know. I had posted my log errors above and wasn’t sure what was going on.

Here are the logs, I do see this one error regarding an expired certificate but I wasn’t sure what that meant.

Sorry let me rephrase, I have the mirror auto restart every Sunday and I noticed that’s when the module disappeared. This is for the MMM-News module not sure if this thread is talking about a different one.

I’ve checked my API key which still seems to be valid when testing in a browser. I also deleted all my sources except 1, so I’m not really sure what happened?

@mumblebaj
Hi, I have been running your MMM-News module for a couple years now. As of Sunday when my mirror restarted the module no longer shows up anymore. I tried to reinstall it and checked my sources in the config and nothing was altered.

Can you help me try and troubleshoot what could be happening? Let me know what I would need to provide to help. I’m not super savvy with this stuff, the mirror was actually built for me.

Thank you in advance.
