@ninjabreadman exiftran worked wonderfully! I used the “automatic” option and it fixed them all! Thanks!

@Galang Hello, no news about no random ? it will be great for my configuration
Thanks

[sdetweil]

@chassain-0 ImagesPhotos already does random all the time.

	randomPhoto: function() {
		var photos = this.photos;
		var index = this.randomIndex(photos);

		return photos[index];
	},


	getDom: function() {
		var self = this;
		var wrapper = document.createElement("div");
		var photoImage = this.randomPhoto();

@sdetweil sorry…i would say in order

[sdetweil]

@chassain-0 ah, turn off random

[chassain 0]

@chassain-0

I don’t know if this works but

	randomIndex: function(photos) {
		if (photos.length === 1) {
			return 0;
		}

		var generate = function() {
			return Math.floor(Math.random() * photos.length);
		};

		var photoIndex = generate();
		this.lastPhotoIndex = photoIndex;

		return photoIndex;
	},

try to change return Math.floor(Math.random() * photos.length); to return Math.floor(photos.length);

However it’s Just a guess

[sdetweil]

@broberg no. it needs more… need to USE the this.lastPhotoIndex, and check for over the end of the list,
and reset the index when new list is loaded (even tho you didn’t get thru the list, as the module refreshes on a fixed time schedule (not calculated from number of images found)… I would add another config parm

I have a fork of this module already, but have many local changes, so cannot make another.

Hello,

I found this module : https://github.com/AdamMoses-GitHub/MMM-ImageSlideshow

Maybe a solution. I m going to test this night

[KamiSchami]

I would like to install it twice. If I just copy the folder and rename it, it won’t work anymore. Can somebody help me?

[sdetweil]

u can try mine too
https://github.com/sdetweil/MMM-ImagesPhotos

to make images from a server the module/uploads folder needs to be replaced by a linked (ln command) to the server share folder

ln -s server_share uploads

I am very picky about how my images are displayed, no distortion allowed…
I also support color or blurred image fill where the image does not cover the full screen

[KamiSchami]

ok, it has the same name. can I rename the module for myself, the folder?

[sdetweil]

@KamiSchami rename the old folder, then git clone again from my repo, fixup any config parts, make link, or move link from old folder

[KamiSchami]

🙈 ok, i will try it
