@cowboysdude said in MMM - NewsFeed Ticker Hangs:

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

@pddh

My 2 cents:

You’ll likely kill your SD card that way. Killing the power rather than “shutting down” the pi does bad things to the SD card.

Go with a sensor that “wakes up” your display when there is motion and turns it off when there is no motion.

Just one old dude’s opinion

@cheapdad

This will help you to install modules correctly and make config entries correctly.

I have no experience with the MMPM module you speak of. In fact, I’ve never heard of it.

The default weather module(s) I don’t use but I’m sure someone will help you out, Maybe post your config entry for it so others can see it

@roger-0

Discovering the Pi and MM led me to learning how to code, specifically for MM itself. No previous experience with coding , the Pi, or Linux. It captivated me and thanks to a couple of very kind users (one in particular) I was shown some basics and read as much as I could to try to learn. It was also helpful for me to look at the code of existing modules, trying to understand what and how things worked.

Anyway, what do I love about it?

The magic!

developer mode doesn’t save anything…

It has saved me a few times. ;-)

@cowboysdude

You, and your modules, are so annoying. ;-)

For years now, I’ve been a huge fan of the way you design and display your modules. To this day, I still use NOAA3 even though I have a few weather modules of my own. I lack the vision that you obviously have. Don’t let this go to your head. You’re still annoying. :-)

Peace bro!

@RYANO said in I cannot get the calendar and events to show New Zealand:

Please can someone help me I am trying to get my magic mirror to show a New Zealand calendar and events please help.

The links above are not valid but I can provide you with a workaround for your problem.

• Go here.

• Click the green Download button to download the New_Zealand_Holidays.ics file.

• Create an ics folder within your modules folder.

• Move the New_Zealand_Holidays.ics file that you downloaded into the ics folder that you just created.

• Open your config.js file. Change your calendar url to this:

url: "webcal://localhost:8080/modules/ics/New_Zealand_Holidays.ics"

• Save your config.js file.

• Run your mirror.

• That works!

He is playing a joke, right? He can’t be serious, can he?

Personally, I would use the install script that was created by, and maintained by, @sdetweil. I do a good amount of installations for one reason or another and it’s my go-to installation tool.
