      Greetings and my apologies if this is not the right forum where to post this.
      I understand that this is some sort of DIY initiative but I have a project in mind where MagicMirror fits perfectly.
      The final product would look like many of the different ones that you guys have been sharing on the Show Your Mirror sub-forum but the background would change every week, ideally updating over the internet.
      Is that feasible?
      Also, if the project finally goes ahead, can anyone recommend a website for contractors?
      Thanks,
      AG

        Take a look at this module:

        I think what you propose already exists

          I also use one of the image display modules, to display a background image. I do it every 15 minutes, but it could be longer

              @qu1que Cheers, that would do the trick. However, the idea is to change the background every week. That is, old background gets deleted, new background shows up.
              Or else, new background available and shows up, with user/customer having access to the previous backgrounds.

                I suppose you must change the slideInterval parameter on the module config.

                By default it’s configured to change every 5 minutes:

                slideInterval 	5 * 60 * 1000
                

                If you change that value for this one:

                slideInterval 	10080 * 60 * 1000
                

                It must be change every 7 days.

                7 x 24 = 168 hours a week.
                168 x 60 = 10080 minutes a week.

                Hope it helps
