MMM-RandomBackground, Background from local folder

jfodor

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’.

Oops! My apologies, I was getting this module confused with another. Mea culpa!

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

Thank you for the module. Is it possible to make this working with a NAS ? And is it also possible e.g. on top_right instead of background?

@Ultimatum22 you can change from local folder to Dropbox (Share Photo) and can adjust time to display from dropbox

Couldn’t you just synchronize your dropbox client into the specific folder and use the module as is?

@yawns Is there any way to implement Dropbox in RPI? I’ve found only one solution Exagear, but it is not free.

@Sean There is a dropbox client for debian, if you use raspbian on your RPI this should work. I haven’t tested it but if you can get it to synchronize you can link to it from my module like yawns said.

@nobita I don’t want to store my photo’s on dropbox so I don’t have the need implement this option but my above solution should work.
