      Try this module: https://github.com/Ultimatum22/MMM-RandomBackground I developed it. Should meet your requirements.

        But where put the folder address ?
        In RandomBackground.js ?

        // Additional folders to find photos in

        in this mode:
        photoDirectories: [images]

        Thanks, Alberto

          @alverman currently a custom path is not implemented yet.

          the images should be placed in this directory MagicMirror/modules/MMM-RandomBackground/photos/

          Please create a github issue if you need help, so I can keep track

              Please post the part of the config file you have added for this module. Also did you look in the log and/or browser console? Without any info it’s near impossible to help.

                  Please show your config, I am assuming your either did something wrong there. Also how did you add this module? The folder and js file are wrong, should be MMM- before it.

                    You were right !!
                    I had forgotten to put in the MMM- config.js
                    But now I have another error when I npm install I get:
                    Succeffully applied Snyk Patches
                    npm grunt-yamllint@0.2.0 WARN requires a peer of grunt@tilde0.4.0 but none installed

                    While in the dev box now I get:
                    http: // localhost: 8080 / modules / MMM-RandomBackground // node_modules / jquery / dist / jquery.min.js
                    Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (not found)

                        But if I wanted to see the lower right images, not as a background, for example, what should I change?

                        Thanks for your patience

                          How did you fix it? This could be helpful for other people in the future. For now only full screen background is supported, I might change this in the future.

                            I did not specify what I did just because I removed and reinstalled in the form and everything worked immediately all.
                            For the fact that change size and position of the image I was trying to change the form css but if you tell me that there is not enough to put your hand means that this change but the issue is more complex then await the development of your work.

                            Congratulations for your job

                            Thank you, Alberto
