    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.

      @alphanet
      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.

        @MMRIZE

        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.
