@strawberry-3.141Hi strawberry, it seems I got it. The problem was, that I missunderstood the module describtion. I tought I can display images from ‘any’ URL and unsplash.it is just an example. So I tried all the time to load the images from my website without succes. At least I used the example and I got it confirmed - whenever you make it right, it will work.
Since I want to load my own images this module is useless for me.
so long… -
Hi @all
MMM-RandomPhoto is greatfull.
I have been looking for 2-way mirror and found nothing that was satisfaction. That’s why I MagicMirror rebuilt with MMM-RandomPhoto as a photo frame. With great result!But I will show my own Photos. Git it a way to show own pictures instead unsplash?
So if you had a photo album with your own pictures??! -
Hi, did you find a solution to use the photos of our own album?
I have been searching for a few days without success -
@fragator
I am also hoping to use the MM as a magic picture frame. I have started teaching myself node with thelearnyounode tutorials [https://github.com/workshopper/learnyounode]. I figured it’d be handy to know how to modify the picture frame to my needs. It’s been a long time since I’ve done any coding, but I think that this project is worth the time.As a side note, I’m going to use an old laptop screen with a controller board from Ebay to show some photos from my NAS. I’m going add voice control and hope to add the functionality of ‘dimming’ the photos so the weather / calendar / etc. modules show up. I"m also thinking of writing an mpd module to control my multiple raspberry pi’s running forked-daapd.

I already have my magicmirror, but I would make one for my mother a noel.
The goal will be which I have the modules by default, with in addition pictures of the whole family that scrolls one after the other on the mirror.
Ideally, that the whole family can add photos via a url or other server.
The problem: I can not run the module randomphoto, and mmmflickr.
On random photo, j happens to make it work only with the example of the photos explain. -
I have the same idea, Have been using DAKBoard but like M2 way better. All I need is a module to pull random pics from Flicker or something like that. One that does not use RSS so I can get more than 20 and also keep it somewhat private.
