@Mr.Sponti sounds great :) I´ll see if I can use the code (still need to get better at coding at all…) :smiley:
-
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.
Easy module development with MagicMirror Module Template
-
@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.
-
@soqueen to change the modules per time, you can use this: https://github.com/ianperrin/MMM-ModuleScheduler
-
I also had the idea with the MMM-Scheduler to show for example own photos 15 Minutes und infos on the mirror for one minute. But I’m not sure if I can start for example the program “feh” from MM - as I understand the scheduler has only limited commands (MonitorOff/MonitorOn/Restart etc.). Please correct me if this wrong. I also decided to use crontab to start the photoshow-programm. I’m an absolute beginner in programming, so I didn’t see an option to run a specific programm for a specific time: Start MM at 8 am, after 5 minutes stop MM, start the photoshow for 30 minutes, stop this and start MM again for 5 Minutes … in a loop .
Thanks for any hints -
Any news here?
Was anyone able to use MM as photo frame? The flickr module is a simple start, but it only uses public albums and you need a flickr account. -
I wanted to see something similar to this: https://dakboard.com/blog/diy-wall-display/
Such an amazing idea!
-
Looks doable to me. Install a background picture or a module that does that for you and run your mirror with the other modules you want.
I grabbed a picture of the lower East side of Manhattan, similar to the picture in your example, used it as a background and enabled 3 modules. Is this what you had in mind?
-
@Mykle1 YES! that looks great. Do we have module that would periodically change the background picture by grabbing it from an online service? like google photos or some place like that?
-
@fabbr I just made a module that can pull from Bing’s image of the day, /r/wallpapers, or /r/Verticalwallpapers: https://github.com/kolbyjack/MMM-Wallpaper/

I don’t know. Maybe. Have a look through the 3rd party modules list.
https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/wiki/3rd-party-modulesOr better yet, fork an existing module, or create your own, and make it do what you want it to do. :-)
