EyeCandy and out-of-memory

[maxbachmann]

Especially remember that electron and gifs are really a bad combination especially on the raspeberry pi since it does not use hardware acelleration :unamused_face:

I had thought about using an intervalTimer which showed a list of images in succession, but I think that would be worse than a GIF for the Raspi. :zipper-mouth_face:

@chef i have been using MMM-ImagesPhotos or MMM-ImageSlideshow and don’t see the out of memory issue… don’t have any gifs in the image list tho

When you directly display MM2 on your raspberrypi you could do an overlay with omxplayer. it supports hardware acceleration which makes it run really smooth with gifs

[chef]

@maxbachmann that’s a really great idea. I noticed that is how some of the Security Camera MM2 modules work.

np had the same problem and figured I could solve it that way ;)
