The newsfeed ticker is changing to the next item (or occasionally repeating the same) when the title reaches end of screen. This means that the full article (sometimes labelled "description" in rss) is no longer being displayed to end.

If I change showDescription: true in either config.js or MMM-NewsFeedTicker.js then this maxes out CPU and crashes MagicMirror

The module keeps cutting off the feed before it is finished. Also it repeats same feed several times before going on to the next one. I attached my NewsFeedTicker.js please advise what I am doing wrong? finally have to speed of the feed fast enough I do not get bored waiting for the next word... MMM-NewsFeedTicker.js.txt you will have to remove the .txt if you want to test it.
Thank you for your help....

Having the same problem. Ticker repeats a story twice, cutting off the first time through after 30 seconds to repeat it. Then it continues to the next story and does the same 2 loops on that story. I feel like only running the ticker once and giving it more time to display a story would resolve this problem.

Add me to the list of people with the same issue with regards to stories being repeated and truncated.

Any update on a fix?

I just noticed that it's not cutting off at the same point when articles repeat. it's cutting off at 24 seconds, then 24s, then 12s, and then repeats the pattern. I'm using BBC News and Sky News as my sources. This is with

tickerBody.style.animationDuration = Math.round(this.config.updateInterval / 2500) + "s";

It repeats at 60 seconds every time if I change it back to the default of

tickerBody.style.animationDuration = Math.round(this.config.updateInterval / 1000) + "s";

Leaving ticker.body at default and changing

updateInterval: 30 * 1000,

changes the times to 12s, 12s, and 6s. I know nothing about programming, so I've got no idea if this is helpful 😄

Sorry to resurrect this old post. Just wondering if anyone had a solution to this problem.

Looks like this is still an issue in March 2024
