        @sdetweil Also, good point to be aware of is that Github may have modules too.

          I use MMM-BackgroundSlideshow for this. I like that it can display picture info. It also has the ability to move forward and back through the pictures, although it seems to have a problem with that in the latest version. I use it to randomly access thousand of images across many folders.

            @ankonaskiff17 the module I referenced came from GitHub, I made a fork (linked copy), says so right under mine if you look.

            I wanted more features. so I added them.
            the original has not been updated in a long time.

            I don’t have experience with any others. I was just talking about 1. you are welcome to ignore anything I say.

              @sdetweil I take advice anywhere I can find it. I just meant that I don’t need to just search on the MM 3rd Party module page that Github is also fertile ground.

                @ankonaskiff17 yes, 3rd party modules are on GitHub… it’s just another list

                    @MMRIZE I know all about 3rd party modules, some of which are well built, some others, not so much.
                    Just reaching out to people who may have already done same sort of project to avoid picking one of the not so good modules.

                    Kind of like Amazon, I don’t want to find 3 pieces of inferior product before stumbling on the quality module.

                      I see it’s been a while since you’ve posted, but I just wanted to ask if anyone has managed to mix in random folder sorting like “shuffle” for photos instead of date order. Also curious if newer versions of the MMM-BackgroundSlideshow module handle transitions better—mine sometimes skips or freezes with larger image sets. Would love to hear how others have fine-tuned theirs lately.

                        @Inferhide I use MMM-ImagesPhotos and don’t see those issued

                        What is a large image set?
