Black Screen with some modules + linux-armv Error

@johngalt What did you end up using for the background? I’m in the same boat.

@bkeyport I use MMM-ImagesPhotos, I added some stuff to retain the image aspect ratio, not cover or contain which both distort the image… then added support for color or blur fill outside the image…
loads from a folder in the module folder (altho that can be a link to wherever, I link it to my file server)
https://github.com/sdetweil/MMM-ImagesPhotos
my uploadPics module will take images from your qr connected device and put them in whatever image storage location u like (it defaults to the ImagesPhotos location (‘uploads’)

I am trying MMM-SimpleBGSlideshow, but may try the one Sam is using. I do have this one up an running, but it appears to have limited functionality.

@johngalt said in Black Screen with some modules + linux-armv Error:
but it appears to have limited functionality.
what function are u looking for?
-
@sdetweil - the documentation indicates ‘It does not do recursive search of image folders’, which I would prefer. The author also indicates he cut out features from the module he forked, but didn’t specify what features. As I said, time will tell whether I stick with it, or give another a try.
-
@johngalt ok. this one also does not recurse.
it could be added of course
-
@bkeyport and Sam: thanks for the inputs. I went through my logs and the referenced thread, and now do have DynamicWeather working. Much appreciated!
