    @sdetweil Ah ok, no worries. On your mirror, do you use the position ‘fullscreen_above’ rather than the default of ‘middle_center’ ?

      @robertybob not above, below (behind all others)

      {
      	module: "MMM-ImagesPhotos",
      	position: "fullscreen_below",
      	config: {
      		opacity: 0.9,
      		animationSpeed: 0,
      		updateInterval: 1* 60 * 1000,
      		backgroundColor: 'grey',  // not used if fill is true
      		fill: true,   // fill around image with blurred copy of image
      		blur: 10,   // only used if fill is true
      		path: "/pics",  // inside uploads
      	}
      },

        @sdetweil Thank you. I can’t get the module working with MMM-Pages.

        This config doesn’t show any images:

        {
        module: ‘MMM-pages’,
        config: {
        modules: [

        				["clock", "MMM-Tools", "MMM-WiFiPassword",
        					"MMM-Fantasy-Premier-League",
        					//"MMM-ImagesPhotos",
        					"MMM-pihole-stats",
        					//	"MMM-TweetsByTimelineOrList", 
        					"MMM-CyanideHappiness",
        					"uploadPics"
        				],
        			
        			["clock", "MMM-Tools", "MMM-WiFiPassword",
        					"MMM-Fantasy-Premier-League",
        					"MMM-ImagesPhotos",
        					"MMM-pihole-stats",
        					//	"MMM-TweetsByTimelineOrList", 
        					"MMM-CyanideHappiness",
        					"uploadPics"
        				],
        			],
        			//last page ^
        			fixed: [],
        			rotationTime: 2500,
        		}
        	},
        

        but this does:

        	{
        		module: 'MMM-pages',
        		config: {
        			modules: [
        			
        				["clock", "MMM-Tools", "MMM-WiFiPassword",
        					"MMM-Fantasy-Premier-League",
        					"MMM-ImagesPhotos",
        					"MMM-pihole-stats",
        					//	"MMM-TweetsByTimelineOrList", 
        					"MMM-CyanideHappiness",
        					"uploadPics"
        				],
        			
        			["clock", "MMM-Tools", "MMM-WiFiPassword",
        					"MMM-Fantasy-Premier-League",
        					"MMM-ImagesPhotos",
        					"MMM-pihole-stats",
        					//	"MMM-TweetsByTimelineOrList", 
        					"MMM-CyanideHappiness",
        					"uploadPics"
        				],
        			],
        			//last page ^
        			fixed: [],
        			rotationTime: 2500,
        		}
        	},
        

        and as you can see, all I am doing is commenting out the module on the first page. I want to be able to have one page where the photos aren’t displayed as it’s very hard to read the other modules…but it seems the module doesn’t allow that?

        How can I help you figure out what is going on so that this can be corrected ?

          @robertybob pages hides or shows modules… (A page being shown sends resume calls to each module and suspend calls to all others)

          usually when you use pages and want to HIDE something on one and SHOW the same on another, you have to have TWO instances in config.js

          looking at the code (not my module) it doesn’t support two independent instances,
          so you have to do the copy/rename/ approach.

          copy the module folder to some other name
          rename the modulename.js to the new foldername.js

          edit the newly renamed file and change the register statement to use the new module/folder name

          all three places MUST match exactly
          and u need to rename the css file AND edit the getStyles to the new name.

          then u can use a new module: instance in config.js and have one on one page and another on another page.

          the module supports suspend and resume (hide/show) , so that will be ok i think…

          again, its not my module… i just happened on it when I started with MM (2017) and didn’t want my images aspect ratio changed…

            Hey there, sorry I didn’t get back to you on your question. I’m glad you found a module that works for you! After the frosty reception I received on my initial post I kinda forgot about it all and figured I wouldn’t get much traction on the module to justify making it more user-friendly. If anyone else needs help, you can use github issues.

              I’m running this on a Pi Zero 2W. At first it kept freezing because some of my images were way too big. After I resized all of my images to 800 x 600 it’s going great.
