Black Screen with some modules + linux-armv Error
-
Sam - thanks. Do you happen to know whether this is also true for MMM-DynamicWeather?
-
@johngalt looking at the code and package.json
its this

@sdetweil - thanks. I may just disable the two offending modules for now, and then dig thru that post.
-
@johngalt Disable Background slideshow, then dig through the post - dynamic weather will work after you do the steps in the post.
-
@ BKeyport - thanks. I’ve disabled that module and found one that works. I will work on the MMM-DynamicWeather, hopefully today. Thanks to you and Sam for the support!
-
@johngalt What did you end up using for the background? I’m in the same boat.
-
@bkeyport I use MMM-ImagesPhotos, I added some stuff to retain the image aspect ratio, not cover or contain which both distort the image… then added support for color or blur fill outside the image…
loads from a folder in the module folder (altho that can be a link to wherever, I link it to my file server)
https://github.com/sdetweil/MMM-ImagesPhotos
my uploadPics module will take images from your qr connected device and put them in whatever image storage location u like (it defaults to the ImagesPhotos location (‘uploads’)

I am trying MMM-SimpleBGSlideshow, but may try the one Sam is using. I do have this one up an running, but it appears to have limited functionality.

@johngalt said in Black Screen with some modules + linux-armv Error:
but it appears to have limited functionality.
what function are u looking for?
-
@sdetweil - the documentation indicates ‘It does not do recursive search of image folders’, which I would prefer. The author also indicates he cut out features from the module he forked, but didn’t specify what features. As I said, time will tell whether I stick with it, or give another a try.
