@oj96 said in config file issue:

accessToken: ‘xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx’
lists: [ “inbox”],
interval: 60
fade: true
}
},
]
modules: [

well, a bunch of problems…

1 you have the wrong single and double quotes here… do NOT use a word processing editor… only a text editor… (nano or gedit or vi)…
2. missing comma after accesstoken line and interval line

and u have two modules: [ blocks…

quick way to test your config for syntax… copy/paste it all to jslint.com
check long lines, single quotes, and whitespace mess at the bottom, then press jslint

then copy/paste it back to the config.js file.

so, from the log, your module is loaded and running…

so, what do you do to present info? how does your module respond to the getDom() method call?
that is how it provides data to be displayed…

can u scroll back up in the debug log, to the top…
and also

minimize the mirror screen, alt-spacebar, n
to be able to see the console window

i just installed 2.4.1 on my new pi… and its working fine…

did u just download MM again to do the install? there was an update saturday night which included a change to fix this black screen problem

@erycken bummer, u need keyboard access to the MM screen to do the ctrl-shift-i…

you could restart the mm in dev mode to do the same thing, but u will need keyboard access to select the console tab

@erycken press ctrl-shift-i (lower case letter i) to open the debug console and select the console tab, you may have to scroll back to see if the module reported an error here

@postremalone no… the timezone is based ont he javascript moment…

see here, you can use any/all of each line… yours I think could be
“Indian/Maldives|MMT”,

I am building a digital photo frame, large (cheaper that buying one). anyhow, using a linked folder to my linux box with a samba server…

all is good, except, between images there is a big black screen… is there a way (with the html approach) to hide the image transition?

I know in one of my modules, I had to write code to wait for the image load completed before showing the image, but I am writing directly to electron apis

my config

{
	module: "MMM-ImagesPhotos",
	position: "middle_center",
	config: {
		opacity: 0.9,
		animationSpeed: 500,
		updateInterval: 20000,
	}
}

@sispheor well, as a new MM user, obvious is not so…

i have 5 lines of console.log on my MMM-kalliope.js
