    No, not a USB storage. I mean a NAS, a cloud resourse, any SMB share.

      i can only get this to work in the full screen locations. can this be placed in any other locations?

      i would also second the network share for the photo location.

      as a note to others you have to create a folder in ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-RandomBackground called photos and place your photo’s in there.

          @docmucki

          I suspect you need to execute

          npm install
          

          From ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-RandomBackground rather than ~/MagicMirror/modules.

          Try:

          cd MMM-RandomBackground
          npm install
          

          What ship would bear me ever back across so wide a Sea?

              Changing the updateInterval seems to have no effect. Always feels like 3 seconds.

                it uses milliseconds. mine is set at 900000 which is 15 minutes.

                  This works, but the background image is only in the top half of the screen (running portrait). Is there a way to make it fill the entire screen?

                    @docmucki What is the value you use, because it is indeed in miliseconds as jfodor said.

                    @lignumaqua Can you post your configuration for my module? It should work full screen if you look at the default ‘fullscreen_below’.
