MMM-ImagesPhotos - Show images from a directory

[twosquirrels]

I realize this might not be the fault of the module, but many of my images display with the orientation incorrect on this module. I open them on my Mac, and the orientation is correct. I open them in the built-in image viewer on the raspberry pi, and the orientation is correct.

I’ve tried using exiftool to remove the orientation settings entirely with no success. I also tried using exiftool to change the orientation with no success.

My magic mirror is in portrait mode, so I wonder if that matters, but the built-in viewer has no problems.

@twosquirrels So, I suspect (but cannot be certain) that this is your problem. I’ve not found great browser support for EXIF image rotation. There are a variety of command line approaches available, and even some GUI apps.

@ninjabreadman exiftran worked wonderfully! I used the “automatic” option and it fixed them all! Thanks!

@Galang Hello, no news about no random ? it will be great for my configuration
Thanks

@chassain-0 ImagesPhotos already does random all the time.

	randomPhoto: function() {
		var photos = this.photos;
		var index = this.randomIndex(photos);

		return photos[index];
	},


	getDom: function() {
		var self = this;
		var wrapper = document.createElement("div");
		var photoImage = this.randomPhoto();

@sdetweil sorry…i would say in order

[sdetweil]

[chassain 0]

@chassain-0

I don’t know if this works but

	randomIndex: function(photos) {
		if (photos.length === 1) {
			return 0;
		}

		var generate = function() {
			return Math.floor(Math.random() * photos.length);
		};

		var photoIndex = generate();
		this.lastPhotoIndex = photoIndex;

		return photoIndex;
	},

try to change return Math.floor(Math.random() * photos.length); to return Math.floor(photos.length);

However it’s Just a guess

[sdetweil]

@broberg no. it needs more… need to USE the this.lastPhotoIndex, and check for over the end of the list,
and reset the index when new list is loaded (even tho you didn’t get thru the list, as the module refreshes on a fixed time schedule (not calculated from number of images found)… I would add another config parm

I have a fork of this module already, but have many local changes, so cannot make another.
