Hi, this is really nice module, the only problem is it doesn’t update photos from instagram. I managed to make it work properly using setInterval for grabPhotos function AND storing url in a new variable which I used in sendSocketNotification (this.url somehow works only at the first iteraction, then it overwrited by something). Since I could not find the real problem, my code looks ugly but still works. Now it takes couple minutes to display a just taken picture on a mirror.

Hi all,
Just a message to share what I did.
I tried to find out why I wasn’t able to display my images using different MMM-Instagram modules (I tried with @kapsolas ’ initial module and yo-less’ and jeffjoe’s forks).
It took me a lot of time to understand it wasn’t compatible with MMM-ProfileSwitcher module (https://github.com/tosti007/MMM-ProfileSwitcher)

If ever you have the same problem, here is a workaround (done from the last JeffJoe’s fork - https://github.com/jeffjoe/MMM-Instagram, but also works with @kapsolas’ one)
So, in MMM-Instagram.js, you just have to comment the line :

this.info.classes = 'bright medium';
-->
//this.info.classes = 'bright medium';

Indeed, it is overwriting a variable that is also used in MMM-ProfileSwitcher. (See in GitHub ProfileSwitcher description, just before the section “Current Supported Languages”. I know it’s not exactly the same thing, but the idea is the same)
I’m not going to create a new fork for this, so guys, I let you manage this.

BTW, yo-less’ fork is still bugged… there is a tempimpage variable instead of temp image
Thanks for the module

Hi, I would like to get pictures from two APIs in same module. Is it possible?

[kapsolas]

The current setup of the module does not allow for pulling from multiple locations (API)

[zeular]

Okay, but is it possible? Anything you could implement? I would like to be able to get in family photos in chronological order. :)

[kapsolas]

@zeular I suppose that this could be implemented. The module could be updated to make multiple requests to various sources.

Given my current availability, this would not be something I can do in the near future.

[zeular]

@kapsolas I understand, but if you had time over, I would be grateful.
Thank’s anyway, for taking your time and reply.

[kapsolas]

@zeular You are welcome!
And to be clear, when you say pull from different API, you mean different services? Like Flickr, Instagram, etc?

@kapsolas No, I meant two different instagram accounts …
