MMM-ImmichSlideShow

A module based on MMM-BackgroundSlideshow to show images from Immich on your MagicMirror. The module selects the daily memory lane photos (no video) for the past 7 (default value) days and displays them on your magic mirror.

This was created quickly for personal use but i hope you find it useful.

@korey_sed This is really cool, I’ve been playing with it. Do you know instead of using the memory lane photos there is any way it could be pointed to a specific album so I can handpick what photos I’d like to display?

@venomousviper27 That is a great idea. I took a look at the API and that is very possible, but it will take me a little a bit to add this.

I will post back here when I’ve added that capability.

This turned out to be simpler than I thought. Let me know if you run into issues with it since i pushed without doing much negative testing.

FYI,
there are 3 new properties now:

• mode: you need to set this to ‘album’
• albumId: if you want to use this instead of the name
• albumName: if you want to use this instead of the id

If you provide both, albumId will be used.

@venomousviper27 This is part observation and part question.
I first stumbled on MagicMirror by way of DakBoard but in regards to showing photographs is it best to dump copies of ALL your photos in one folder or some other mechanism to get random images.

I picked a bunch of photos, put them in their own folder but after a while the pictures got stale. I just let it run 24/7 and and it took a while but I realized I was tired of looking at the same pictures and want to avoid this in a MM rendition of a digital photo album.

Only thing I can think of to minimize that is to have every photo in one folder and module does the random picking.
