      Hello,

      I am new to MagicMirror and its modules, finding all the possibilities offered so interesting.

      But I have some trouble with MMM-EasyBack.

      I would just like to have a background picture at start.
      So for instance I put MyImage.jpg file in the images folder and tried this in the config.js, among many other trials:

      {
      module: ‘MMM-EasyBack’,
      position: ‘fullscreen_below’,
      config: {
      bgName: “MyImage.jpg”,
      height: “1080px”,
      width: “1920px”
      }
      },

      But I can’t see the background image at start.

      Instead and whatever I put there : jpg image, video, Youtube ID, I always get a video from Youtube whose ID is :
      “So3vH9FY2H4” when MagicMirror starts ?

      The one appearing in this line of the “Config.js entry and options” instructions:

      youTubeID: “”, //“SkeNMoDlHUU”, // “So3vH9FY2H4”, // ID from any YouTube video.

      It seems that my config lines are not taken into account ?

      Could you tell me the reason, mistake causing this problem and how I could solve it ?

      Thank you very much in advance for your help.

        set youTubeID as null or empty.

        bgName: "MyImage.jpg",
        youTubeID: "",
        ...
        

        In the source, youTubeID has the priority always, and unfortunately, only youTubeID has the default value, so you need to drop out that value explicitly.

          I’ve just got my background picture in MagicMirror.

          Thank you very much MMRIZE for your reply and explanation !

          Good to know that youTubeID has this priority and the way to drop out its default value.

          Cordial greetings.
