digital photo frame

I just publish another module for show images from a directory. The idea was checking process of module development.

If anybody have ideas or new features to add please add issue into the Github.

@roramirez Super cool! thanks :)

Wow well done ! But if i understand the module correctly it will show pictures from the var urlApHelper = “/MMM-ImagesPhotos/photos” directory?

Is it possible to add a feature that grab the images from dropbox or simulair?

~Edit: maybe a local website, or mobile application to upload pictures is earier to setup? ~

Hope to hear you soon!

@Labzz you can set a ln -s between your dropbox and the modules folder

@Labzz the /MMM-ImagesPhotos/photos is a backend endpoint for get content from upload directory used by module. You can synchronize the your DropBox folder in upload directory.

@Mr.Sponti
I’m also looking for a solution to make the mirror to a photo frame. Is it maybe
possible to use with your module a picture viewer like “feh”? Up to now I’m useing
feh to show my HD-Photos on a large TV. The best would be to have a hardwareswitch (or a voice command) to chanced between photoshow and the
infos an the mirror. Has anyone an idea?
Unfortunatelly I have no experience in programming.

@roramirez you can change or modify your module pull photo from dropbox (replace from folder) . I mean more detail in programming for apply in mirror project v2.1

Thanks for your kind

What? Why you dont synchronize your Dropbox folder into the upload directory of the module ?

If you can help this feature to pull directly from DropBox the Pull request are welcome ;)

I am extremely interested in this as well. In fact, I just posted about this very thing elsewhere in this forum. Question- OpenFrame and Canviz (openframe is on github, canviz software you can download for free) do what I want. Is there a way to incorporate them into the same pi, or somehow use them as modules on the mm? I want to run the mm with all the info for certain parts of the day and then use it the rest of the day as a digital art display for my artist daughter’s artwork.
