module for mm background

[costascontis]

i wonder what are my options if i want to add a background to my mm.The only a know is weatherbackground.Are there other modules for this job?

@costascontis do you want a single background, or should it change over time?

[costascontis]

if it could automatically change it will be good …

@costascontis I use MMM-ImagePhotos, or MMM-ImageSlideshow (search on google for their github location)

both load images from the local MM disk as background.
I’m sure there are others too…

I’ve been using MMM-BackgroundSlideshow, it allows me to randomly display an image from 1000’s stored in a many level folder structure on my NAS.

@rts58 thanks… that does almost everything my modified version does… one less thing to maintain!

You could also try the module @Mykle1 came up with: https://github.com/mykle1/MMM-EasyBack

Is the search feature broken on the forum? LOL

@cowboysdude search?

@rts58 I’m interested. I would like to do it the same way, but it only works with the sample images of the module.
What path did you specify in config.js to access your NAS?

Thank you
