Display logos?

[Bungle68]

What’s the best module to display a logo or series of pictures?

[Rags]

@Bungle68 For images stored in a local folder i have used the module MMM-ImageSlideshow previously. However, i have now moved to using MMM-Google Photos which is excellent and photos can be refreshed quite easily via Google Photos app. For Logo try
MMM-SimpleLogo. Though it currently not maintained.

@Rags thanks, will give it a go

@Bungle68 this is my current set up in the config.js

{
      module: 'MMM-SimpleLog',
      position: 'top_left',      //This can be any of the regions. 
      config: {
 //The config property is optional. 
      file: ["~/home/mipi/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-SimpleLogo/Pi.png"]
     width: '300px'      }
},

However, it’s not showing any picture on the screen, or any errors? Has anyone used the SimpleLogo and can share the config?
🙏

@Bungle68 the file name is wrong

~ means /home/username (mipi?)
then u have /home/mipi

so I suspect /home/mipi/home/mipi does not exist…

@sdetweil great, so I just need to drop the ~, as the rest is the path for the file 🤞

[sdetweil]

@Bungle68 correct. system is case sensitive. so make sure I deal with that if need be

[Bungle68]

@sdetweil I’ve changed the path, but do I need the []either end?

{
       module: ‘MMM-SimpleLogo’,
       position: ‘top_left’,  //This can be any region.
       config: {
                // The config property is optional.
                file: [“~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-SimpleLogo/Pi.png”],   // See config options.
                width:     ‘300px’,
      }
},

@Bungle68 i do not know… that is up to the module.

is it a list of filenames, even if only 1?

[Bungle68]

@sdetweil it’s just an image I want to display on the screen. It’s not a module either, just code on the config.js

@Bungle68 I have good experiences with MMM-EasyPix.
You have to store your logo(s) in the subfolder “pix” of the module.

[sdetweil]

@Bungle68 it’s the module MMM-Simpke-Logo.
what does it expect for the file: parameter?

it’s actually fileUrl:

note that the image file must be IN the MagicMirror folder tree
