@rkorell Nice work! You didn’t specify the type of mirror you were considering. I would suggest a real glass mirror instead of acrylic. It’s more expensive but looks infinity better. I tried acrylic first and it was a waste of money.

CBS news feed is working for me https://www.cbsnews.com/latest/rss/main

I see a thread on Reddit where people are saying they lost the Yahoo RSS feed on Oct 29, which is when I noticed the problem on my Magic Mirror. I’m guessing that they either dropped the feed or it has a different link. Google AI thinks the feed is still in existence. I haven’t seen any official notice from Yahoo. Does anyone have a link for another general news source? I just check the top 10 RSS feeds on a website and the only one that actually exists is Politico. I really don’t want to add politics to my mirror.

Update: I believe the problem is with Yahoo, not my Magic Mirror.

Raspberry Pi Zero 2W, Buster, MM V2.24

Yahoo news feed stopped working a day or two ago. I’ve rebooted but no improvement. Other news feeds are still working.

Error Message in PM2 logs:

[ERROR] Newsfeed Error. Could not fetch newsfeed: https://www.yahoo.com/news/rss Error: Not Found on Accelerator

Here is the link from the config file.
https://www.yahoo.com/news/rss

That link works in a browser on my PC

Update: 1024 x 768 works well too on the Pi Zero 2W

I’m running this on a Pi Zero 2W. At first it kept freezing because some of my images were way too big. After I resized all of my images to 800 x 600 it’s going great.

@sdetweil I appreciate your efforts with this. After a week of trying everything to make it work on Bookworm I gave up and built it on Bullseye. I had a couple of issues though. The automatic install script froze the system during the Node installation. I had previously expanded the swapfile to 1024 (1 gb) as I found that the default setting was too low.

I removed MagicMirror and all of it’s sub directories and followed the manual install instructions. The mirror is now running well except for the MMM-Jast ticker which is now not nearly as smooth as it was under the previous version of MM running on Buster. I tried adding export ELECTRON_ENABLE_GPU=1 to my mm.sh script but that completely distorted the display.

I’m not sure if I’m going to keep this new version.

@sdetweil I did try Bullseye and that failed to install MM. I guess I could try again. This is so frustrating. I can can it working on one Pi Zero 2, but not another one. I’m done with this for now. My older version is working fine.

For anyone else interested, I changed the following in the MMM-MyScoreboard.css file:

In the "MMM-MyScoreboard .box-score .status " section

From:
font-size: 20px;
font-weight: 400;

To:
font-sze: 30px;
font-weight: bold;l

@sdetweil I’ve been struggling with this for a week. Nothing new seems to play well with Pi Zero 2. I built the OS and MM from scratch on a USB drive and after many tries finally got it working. When I moved the USB drive to the Pi Zero 2 that’s mounted in my mirror it didn’t work. I tried it in the Zero 2 that I used to build the software and it didn’t work there either. However when I plug it into a Pi 4 it works fine. It seems that the changes they made in Bookworm ignored the needs of the Pi Zero 2.

I also built it from scratch on a 32gb microSD card and that worked. I tried using PiShrink to reduce the image size so it would fit on my 16gb USB drive. It appeared to work, but the Zero 2 wouldn’t boot from it. The way my mirror is set up, I can’t access the SD slot.
