Dogecoin issue

[mxride]

Confirmed the Miningcore is function by using LTC
Tried to implement DOGE with LTC and the pool starts as expected.
Tried connecting DOGE miner and receive

"Connection json error: Unexpected character encountered while parsing value: . Path '', line 0, position 0."
Which that kicks in the Junk Banning.

Next step was to build a config.json that only contained the DOGE coin as I believed it was a JSON formatting issue.
Pool still starts and show the Doge pool config. see screenshot
Again when trying to connect the miner I receive the same error see screenshot
"Connection json error: Unexpected character encountered while parsing value: . Path '', line 0, position 0."

Config Attached

I cant seem to find anyone else that has implemented DOGE in order to try their config.
Any help is much appreciated
