You know what? You’re right. I didn’t notice that when I tried it. My bad

@julien-vancouver

I tried putting multiple signs into an array. That does not work.

However, I tried adding a second config entry with different signs and that worked.

{
        disabled: false,
        module: 'MMM-Astro',
        position: 'top_right',
		      config: {
		      sign: "pisces",
		      iconset: "1",
		      extend: false
		             }
       },
       {
         disabled: false,
         module: 'MMM-Astro',
         position: 'bottom_right',
 		      config: {
 		      sign: "taurus",
 		      iconset: "1",
 		      extend: false
 		             }
        },

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

@schlittrix

From stackoverflow. I have not tested it.

This should center the wrapped text as well. In custom.css file, add :

text-align: center;

@matthewlawson3

Try this:

Under the maxNewsItems that you just added to your config entry, add this

updateInterval: 10 * 60 * 1000,

The default is 1 minute, which effectively resets the module back to the beginning of the feeds. This will give it 10 minutes to display the feeds without resetting. Assuming this will work, adjust the time accordingly.

Now I really hope he’s paying attention.

Well done, bro. :thumbsup:

comment out the items=[]; line as shown below

Thanks bro. I don’t even use this module. I was just trying to help out the user above. Hopefully, he’s paying attention and has read your suggestion.

Hey, have you seen Jim these days? I wonder where he disappeared to.

@matthewlawson3

You can comment out the config entry or delete the entry.

Easiest way to delete the module itself. Click your way to the modules folder, enter the modules folder, trash the MMM-NewsFeedTicker.

@matthewlawson3

I don’t think it’s you. See my edited post

@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

@ruff-hi

Really, just about any monitor will work. However, looking at your link, I noticed the ports come straight out the back of the unit. In most cases, it’s preferable to have the ports facing down towards the floor, especially if you’re putting this in a frame. With the ports facing downward, the frame doesn’t have to be as “thick”, keeping it closer to the wall where you hang it.

Personally, I’d make my priority the mirror glass itself and pick up a 2nd hand monitor.

That’s just my opinion. Take it for what it’s worth.

Peace

It takes rewriting parts of the entire module to make it work…

Uhhhh . . .

@desert-rat

Until I get around to making a permanent solution, you can edit this line in the Hello-Lucy.js file to reflect what you want to see

Line 204 (or there abouts)

this.mode = this.translate("NO_MODE")+ "'Hello Lucy'";

A word of caution!

Be careful not to change the quotes as they already exist. Simply change Hello Lucy to your preference.

@scumbelly

Just to be clear, the module works but not after you modified it?

@csoogos said in Problems With Weather:

How do I run the mirror from within the directory?

1. Open a terminal
2. Change directory to MagicMirror. Usually done by cd MagicMirror unless you installed somewhere else.
3. Then npm start

@runny

I also had some issues with the autostart but upgrading my electron seems to have fixed the issue with both modules. As long and you followed the “workaround” directions in the readme. it should work.

Please try letting the modules run and see if they eventually start. I have seen this behavior. It may have to do with the feed being blacked out for periods of time at the source.

So, please verify the workaround was done and that you are running the newest electron. My electron is at 11.3.

Peace!

@wenike

Well, I’m not going to do that because the module is deprecated. Doesn’t make much sense to me. If you feel the need, have at it. :-)
