Hi, does anybody has had any issues with TwitControl recently? My module stopped working, anything changed with API codes?
It’s possible that the recent changes at Twitter with regard to their API has caused some issues although these changes I believe went into effect in August…

I love this News Ticker. Can I ask how I can change the size of the ticker? My mirror is in Portrait mode and the font feels oversized. I would prefer 40-50% of the current release size which would also allow the full headline to show. Also, can you include an opacity value for the background? I like the maroon but would prefer it to be less intense. I am sure these could be handled via the custom.css but I am a novice with this all. Thank you again for a great module!
Never mind. The images suddenly started loading. That’s very odd.
I have the module MMM-SunRiseSet installed and it suddenly stopped displaying the image. Instead I get the placeholder text. Nothing was changed on my mirror and this module was working fine for the past week or so. Does anyone have suggestions around how too resolve this?
Notes:
Should I try an older build of Magic Mirror? The current one seems to have issues.
Here is my config and a screenshot of what I am seeing. (I am running two instances of the module to show both sides of the planet.
{
disabled: false,
module: "MMM-SunRiseSet",
position: "bottom_left",
config: {
lat: "###", // Your latitude (for the data)

image: "world", // "world" (animation), "map" (animation), "static" (graph)

dayOrNight: "day", // "night" approaching, "day" approaching (imageOnly: must be "yes", image: must be "world")
useHeader: false, // true if you want a header
header: "Header", // useHeader must be true

@striiker - In the future, you may be able to get away with merely restarting the MagicMirror process. If you’re using pm2 with a default installation, it’s just
pm2 restart MagicMirror.
Hi! Thank you for the suggestion however I have a cron job which restarts MagicMirror every 5 hours. I do this because of the persistent issue of having something in Magic Mirror crashing, causing it to stop refreshing and leaving me at a black screen. The only way to solve it is to manually reload or restart Magic Mirror. So, while I was experiencing this issue, the system had restarted MagicMirror several times. As mentioned by @justjim1220 , the solution was to reboot.
@justjim1220 said in MMM-earth:
Try rebooting your system
I have found that sometimes that is what it takes to get some modules to work after first install, and load and not working.
Yeah, this solved it. Thanks again! Rebooting was always my goto with Microsoft stuff but I got spoiled with Linux…
@mykle1 said in Modules with Images not Displaying:
I just copy and pasted your config entry from above and both modules fired right up. Have you changed anything in the module files?
Well, looks like I should have rebooted my system. I was going to and thought “nah, I shouldn’t have to do that”. Then it was suggested by @justjim1220 and so I tried it and now both are working… Thank you both for your help!!
@justjim1220 said in Modules with Images not Displaying:
Have your tried rebooting your system?
Derp… No… I should have done that!! It’s all working now… Thank you for the advice!
Here are my config entries for the two modules…
{
module: 'MMM-MARS',
position: 'bottom_left',
config: {
rover: "curiosity", // which rover? curiosity, opportunity or spirit
sol: "200", // sol date you want pictures from
useHeader: false, // true if you want a header
header: "", // useHeader must be true
maxWidth: "300px",
rotateInterval: 5 * 60 * 1000, // new image 5 minutes
}
},
{
module: "MMM-EARTH",
position: "bottom_center",
config: {
mode: "Natural",
rotateInterval: 15000,
MaxWidth: "50%",
MaxHeight: "50%",
}
},
Hmm, thank you for the response. I wonder what’s the issue then…
This is my config for the two modules being discussed… (I also tested adding the disabled: no but that had no effect…)
{
module: 'MMM-MARS',
position: 'bottom_left',
config: {
rover: "curiosity", // which rover? curiosity, opportunity or spirit
sol: "200", // sol date you want pictures from
useHeader: false, // true if you want a header
header: "", // useHeader must be true
maxWidth: "300px",
rotateInterval: 5 * 60 * 1000, // new image 5 minutes
}
},
{
module: "MMM-EARTH",
position: "bottom_center",
config: {
