@sdetweil Okay. Thanks for trying to help! Much Appreciated.

@sdetweil I understand. Sorry.

Any other news modules you recommend? May try another.

@sdetweil Okay. So looking at it now, I added in Fox News and took out Ars Technica. It shows me Fox News, NYT, USA Today, but doesn’t show BBC which is still in the feeds area.
Also, it seems to reset and replay a headline before it finishes it the first time.

@sdetweil Ok I made the changes in the fetcher file hopefully. I really am kinda lost though as to what we are trying to do exactly. My main concern is that it goes to all 4 of the sources listed. NYT, USA Today, BBC, and Ars Technica. I haven’t seen Ars Technica at all.

I may just give up and find another good news module.

@mykle1 Just added it. It brought the ticker to a crawl across the screen. Super slow.

@sdetweil Okay so the reason it hangs and doesn’t go to other sources is because of what exactly? Sorry just saw this and trying to get up to speed.

I added the max news items where you said I think if I understand correctly (see config file below). I also changed the number to 0 inside the MMM-NewsFeedTicker.js.

Where is the fetcher.js? Can’t find that file.

The module keeps repeating NYT and USA Today and doesn’t move on to BBC or Ars Technica.

{
	disabled: false,
	module: "MMM-NewsFeedTicker",
	position: "bottom_bar",
	//classes: "day_scheduler",
	config: {
		maxNewsItems: 0,
	    feeds: [
		{
			title: "New York Times",
			url: "http://www.nytimes.com/services/xml/rss/nyt/HomePage.xml",
			customLogo: "NYT_logo_rss_250x40.png"
		},
		{
			title: "USA Today",
			url: "http://rssfeeds.usatoday.com/UsatodaycomNation-TopStories",
			customLogo: "RSS_Syndication_Logo-USATN.png"
		},
		{
			title: "BBC World News",
			url: "http://feeds.bbci.co.uk/news/world/rss.xml#",
			customLogo: "bbc_news_120x60.gif"
		},
		{
			title: "Ars Technica",
			url: "http://feeds.arstechnica.com/arstechnica/technology-lab",
			customLogo: "arstechnica.jpg"
		}
		
    	    ]
	}
    },

@mykle1 thank you!

@scumbelly

Sorry forgot to remove it.

Not sure let me try to load it and see what it does.

I just installed it. Running for 10 minutes, flawlessly, using the default config entry.

Nice module, Jim! :-)

EDIT:

It is NOT working properly. The 5 or 6 news items keep repeating

Okay. At least I know it is not something I did.

General question: How does one uninstall a module? Or do you just comment it or // it out?

@mykle1 interesting.

Like I said changed in the .css file the background to none and I also made a change in the speed of the ticker to 2000 in the MMM-NewsFeedTicker.js file. Could that be causing issues? Or maybe my Ars Technica addition is causing issues for some reason.
