      Haven’t tried but If dropbox can run on Pi, all you need is this module?

            Maybe https://github.com/kapsolas/MMM-Flickr is suited for this task

              I use https://github.com/kapsolas/MMM-Instagram

              with swapping the line

              var media = items[i].images.low_resolution.url;

              in node_helper.js with

              var media = items[i].images.standard_resolution.url;

              as well as the following in my custom css

              img {
              filter: grayscale(100%);
              max-width:500px;
              }

              setup a seperate private instagram and give the login details to everyone in the house…

                  @schlachtkreuzer6 I created a picture module which loads pictures from a local folder and downscales them to show 1,2 or 4 of them at the same time. The issue being that electron crashes after some time due to being out of memory. The images have a very high resolution (3000 px) and if the 4 image layout is chosen actually 8 pictures are loaded at a time. Maybe time will tell if these issues can be fixed (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/27321997/how-to-request-the-garbage-collector-in-node-js-to-run).

                    Hi,

                    over the Chrismas days I’ve created a slideshow modul which is close to the functionality of a “digital photo frame”.

                    MMM-Photoshow

                    At startup the modul scans a local directory structure and creates a repository of the image files to display. At this point in time the module hide itself and waits on a command to start. The slideshow will start by a notification message from another modul, hides all other modules and shows the pictures in fullscreen mode. New pictures wil show up by a configurable time intervall. If the exif tag of the photo provides an information on the date taken, this date is shown in a footer line at the bottom of the screen. In addtion the footer line shows an album name, the number of photos of the album and the last received notification message (command to steer the show).

                    The slideshow is controlled by notification messages from a separate control modul. I’ve implemented a communication (socket io) to an external voice recognition modul based on snowboy. I think the modul (i.e alexyak/voicecontrol) would also work.
                    It is possible to switch between photo albums (represented by subdirectories of the loaded directory structure), to go forward , backward or to stop the photoshow by speaking a command.
                    It would be easy to modify the module with regular scans of the directory structure. There is already a command to reload the file structure during the run of the slideshow. Access to pictures on a remote server (i.e. NAS) works fine by mounting the remote folders into the local directory structure.
                    With the command ‘INFO_BOARD’ the slideshow stop, hide itselfs and switch back to info mode by showing up all other module.

                    I would be pleased if my modul can be used as a base for further development by a more experienced programmer like me.
