@sdetweil
Based on the section “Notification Events” I added a section as called out.
this isn’t letting me paste it in here, says it is spam.

I added this to the config.js file

            {
            module: "MMM-OnScreenMenu",
                    position: "bottom_right",
                    config: {
                            menuItems: {
                            notify1: {
                                    title: "Patch",
                                    notification: "SIMPLE_LOGO_UPDATE",
                                    payload: {
                                            fileUrl: "modules/MMM-SimpleLogo/public/Amc.JPG",
                                            width: "200px"
                                            }

                                        },
                                notify2: {
                                        title: "Support",
                                        notification: "SIMPLE_LOGO_UPDATE",
                                        payload: {
                                                fileUrl: "modules/MMM-SimpleLogo/public/RedSupport.jpg",
                                                width: "150px"
                                                }
                                        },

@RoadRunnr1469 I won’t be able to look at this til tomorrow or Sunday.

Open the developers window ctrl-shift-i select the console tab and scroll up to see any messages sent from the on screen module

[sdetweil]

@RoadRunnr1469 I installed the module, and modified one of mine to send the notification, and it worked as expected.

[sdetweil]

@RoadRunnr1469 and you installed the “MMM-OnScreenMenu” module too, right?

[RoadRunnr1469]

@sdetweil yes, and the on screen option works fine changes the logo as expected.

[sdetweil]

@RoadRunnr1469 cool… can u mark this as resolved now?

[RoadRunnr1469]

no, the SimpleLogo auto changer part still is not working.

[sdetweil]

@RoadRunnr1469 ok, YOU have to actually update the fileUrl file with new contents.

it loads the SAME fileUrl over and over and over and over
it adds a fake timestamp to the URL to force the browser cache to see a different file
which loads a new instance into the cache…

so somehow you have to do

cp  whatever_source_path/new_logo_to_display.jpg  ~/MagcMirror/modules/MMM-SimpleLogo/public/Amc.JPG

I have tested this and it works

also I think
the content of the new logo image TYPE must match the file extension… it is expecting jpg
so cannot change to gif/png for next ones to load
