Sam, here is the URL origin https://github.com/justjim1220/MMM-NewsFeedTicker (fetch)

It was my bad for trying to shorten the title by leaving off the MMM-. Sorry won’t do that again.

Here is the config I am using:

{
    module: "MMM-NewsFeedTicker",
    position: "bottom_bar",
    //classes: "day_scheduler",
    config: {
      feeds: [

        {
          title: "WFTS News",
          url: "https://www.abcactionnews.com/news.rss",
          customLogo: "wftslogo.png"
        },
	{
          title: "WFTS Local News",
          url: "https://www.abcactionnews.com/news/local-news.rss",
          customLogo: "wftslogoSm.png"
        }
      ]
    }
   },

I appreciate your help. I just want to display the headline and not the start of the article. But I have not seen anything that I recognize as controlling that as a feature.

I’m using NewFeedTicker for my local news RSS feed. Is there a way to get just the headlines and not the start of the article? I’m still trying to figure out some of the timing and would prefer to see more headlines and less from the actual articles. I don’t see anything about it on the github page. Any suggestions are welcome. THX

OK, that helps make sense now.

Thanks

Sam,
I’m not trying to be difficult but you suggest I delete the config/electron directory? Does the system reconstruct that directory when MM is restarted?

As for the electronOptions {X: 1680} do I use the width of the monitor I want MM displayed on or is it the monitor I do not want it displayed on. The larger monitor has a width of 1920.

Sorry I don’t mean to be so dense but I want to understand what I’m doing.

Thanks

Yes, the desktop is spread over both monitors. The bar is on the little monitor and the big monitor only has wallpaper until MM loads at boot. When I restart MM it moves to the small monitor leaving the big one with just wall paper.

Thanks Sam, I have a smaller Dell monitor that I use for working and the 32" Philips TV/Monitor connected via HDMI. I want the large screen to have MagicMirror on it all the time but if I make a config change it restarts and put MM on the smaller Dell monitor. I do not understand the errors it is creating as I know literally nothing about java script.

Posting pictures on MM was something I am doing also. I’m using sdetweil
MMM-ImagesPhotos from third party modules. It was easy to setup and works well. You have to store your images in a local directory inside the module. It has several options available which I have not looked into yet. Just set it up yesterday.

I’ve just started with MM and am trying to use our TV, as the main monitor for Magic Mirror. I have tried to understand the information I have found online but when I implement it it fails. The docs say to add electronOpitions {x: 1920} to the config.js file.
Here is the start of my config.js file:

let config = {
electronOptions: {x: 1680},
address: “localhost”, // Address to listen on, can be:

Naturally there is comments before this and a whole lot after it but this is what I understand was to be added. The 1680 is the width of my smaller, 21", monitor as reported by the RPI display information. My other monitor is 1920.

It was my impression that the X: 1680 would keep MM from using that monitor and force it to the larger on. When it didn’t happen like I thought it should I looked at the error log and discovered there is some error I have not been able to resolve. Error log follows:

I copied everything from where the errors start down to the line for electronOptions the last line above is what I’m having trouble comprehending.
I have researched the error message and not found anything that made sense to me. The errors about that I have no idea what they mean. If someone could explain why the electronOptions is failing I would be happy. It is a direct copy from what I found online. I also tried the width: Height: suggestion I found but that didn’t help either.

One other little thing that happens is if I reboot the computer, RPI 4, MM comes up on the monitor I want. If I restart MM after making a change to config.js it comes up on the smaller monitor, the only way to get it back to the larger one is to reboot the computer.

Thanks for sticking with me for this long message. I appreciate any and all help.

I’m brand new to Magic Mirror have gotten my OpenWeather module working now I’m trying to get Google calendar to work. I have gone through the setup and to the Authorize step and it throws errors. I know the request worked because I see the next 10 calendar events on my terminal screen so I have some of it working.

OH, I and running an RPI 4 with 4 gb ram and MM version 2.32.0

The error log is:
0|mm | [2025-07-23 19:03:05.712] [ERROR] MMM-GoogleCalendar Error. Could not fetch calendar: MyGoogleCalendarIDHere Error: Error

If you see a series of ‘*’ it is what I found at the line number the error points at.

Authorize.js is supposed to return a URL to use in MM but I get the errors.

Thanks in advance for any help.
