Hello,
I really like this module but experienced kind of a delayed loading of the pictures. I have the raspberry pi 3 running, the pictures (all .jpg) are about 2MB which I think is not such a huge size. Any idea how to excelerate the loading?

roramirez

@c.keen The first loading or for every image? are you playing with getInterval?

c.keen

@roramirez The first loading of a picture when the mirror gets startet is interrupted, only the first few “lines” of a picture are shown, then the next picture is displayed. I have read about ‘getInterval’ command on the github module page but do not understand it completely. Reading the description it seems the same to me as the ‘updateInterval’ command (??) Any suggestions?

roramirez

@c.keen Can you take a screenshot of that?

Hello, I install your module and it works perfect for me, thanks, I wanna ask you, can I display videos from this module? I want to do one for videos but I just started in this. Thanks :)

roramirez

@LeztherRokk It’s for only images. Do you want reproduce many videos like playlist?

LeztherRokk

@roramirez Yes, that’s what I want, have a playlist of videos and reproduce them en the mirror

roramirez

@LeztherRokk Ok. This module is only for Images.

I think is not difficult add video support. But this is a things I ain’t planning to do in the near future.

LeztherRokk

@roramirez Well, thanks, I think I will check if I can make one, thank you!

@roramirez How can I select What photo is 1st 2nd 3rd photo to display,Because your module is random display photo
Thanks for your hints

roramirez

@nobita Yes, currently work only in random mode.

You can create a new function for get data in not random mode and you call here
https://github.com/roramirez/MMM-ImagesPhotos/blob/master/MMM-ImagesPhotos.js#L128

A good point is add by configuration this function. If you are interested to add this feature with glad I’ll merge it :)

There are no pictures on my mirror. It seems like the module doesn’t load.

Thanks a bunch for this module. Seems to work great maybe some pics show up more often than others. Curious what formats it accepts?

cowboysdude

I’m going to think it accepts all formats…nothing is specified…

@markus220 did you check the developer console to see if there are errors? Did you use the right dir format?

Very nice module.
I have about 2000 pictures in the Upload directory, all resized to 100 kb.
But the module only shows about 50 of them.
Why does it not show the other pictures?
Any idea?

@Peter

What does your config look like? Where are your images? What type(s) are they? I tried making a folder with 100 files (well over 50), but that seemed to work fine.

Do you have the photos in multiple folders/paths? If so, have you tried removing the path of the photos that work to leave the other paths (to determine they work)? Have you tried adding treatAllPathsAsOne: true to your module config?

What is the content of photos.txt if you type curl http://localhost:8080/MMM-ImagesPhotos/photos > photos.txt into a separate console (while MM is running)?

Don’t post it all here, but if there are not several thousand entries, the module is not seeing all of your files (but you knew that).
