I suspect you need to execute

npm install

From ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-RandomBackground rather than ~/MagicMirror/modules.

Try:

cd MMM-RandomBackground
npm install

Thank you. That was the case.

Changing the updateInterval seems to have no effect. Always feels like 3 seconds.

it uses milliseconds. mine is set at 900000 which is 15 minutes.

This works, but the background image is only in the top half of the screen (running portrait). Is there a way to make it fill the entire screen?

@docmucki What is the value you use, because it is indeed in miliseconds as jfodor said.

@lignumaqua Can you post your configuration for my module? It should work full screen if you look at the default ‘fullscreen_below’.

Oops! My apologies, I was getting this module confused with another. Mea culpa!

No, not a USB storage. I mean a NAS, a cloud resourse, any SMB share.

Thank you for the module. Is it possible to make this working with a NAS ? And is it also possible e.g. on top_right instead of background?
