MMM-BackgroundSlideShow cutting off top of pics

[RonR]

I just installed MMM-BackgroundSlideShow and am really pleased with it. Only have one problem with family photos it tends to drop of the top of the picture thus removing heads. :)

I have tried resizing and attempting to pad the top of the photo to push it down but neither solution fixed the issue. I also set max size to 1080 X 764 from the default 2160 X 1080 but most pics are still well under that max size and still cutting off heads.

I really like the module and want to get the pics fixed before Thanksgiving when when we have family over. Any suggestion greatly appreciated.

@RonR is the module set to fullscreen_below position?
I don’t know more about this module

I spent a lot of time on MMM-ImagesPhotos to keep the the photo aspect ratio, and all the picture on screen.

Discovered that if I pulled the window in from the side it would change the size of the picture back to it’s original size and things looked normal. It’s not a good fix but it makes the pictures look much better.

@RonR I have the same issue. How do you “pull the window in from the side”? Can you post the module section from config.js, please?

@sdetweil I tried to use MMM-ImagesPhotos but could not get it to work with MMM-Carousel so I am trying MMM-BackgroundSlideShow instead.

@msimon360 what do you mean could not get it to work?
can you show the config for both modules?

I use pages, and images position:fullscreen_below

@sdetweil Thanks for the quick reply.
Here are the ImagesPhotos and Carousel sections of my config.js. Running this I just get a blank screen instead of the photos. I do get photos if I use top_center without Carousel.

  {
    module: "MMM-ImagesPhotos",
    position: "fullscreen_below",
    config: {
     opacity: 0.9,
     animationSpeed: 5000,
     updateInterval: 15000,
     backgroundColor: 'grey',  // not used if fill is true
     fill: true,   // fill around image with blurred copy of image
	   blur: 10,   // only used if fill is true
     sequential: false  // process the image list randomly
     }
  },
  {
    module: "MMM-Carousel",
    config: {
      transitionInterval: 10000,
      showPageIndicators: true,
      showPageControls: false,
      ignoreModules: ["alert", "updatenotification"],
      mode: "slides",
      slides: [
        ["clock", "weather", "calendar"],
        ["MMM-ImagesPhotos"]
     ],
    }
  },
