MM as rolling picture frame

[BKeyport]

here’s how I did it.

1. Set up SAMBA on the pi, and include a mapping to your photos drive (I wouldn’t recommend keeping them locally)

2. magic mirror’s config, using MMM-Backgroundslideshow

/* Magic Mirror Config by Brendan Keyport. */
/* Office - Certificate Display */
var config = {
	address: "0.0.0.0",
	port: 8082,  // port is 8082 as I use a server/client style setup. 
	ipWhitelist: [], 
	language: "en",
	timeFormat: 12,
	units: "imperial",
	//logLevel: ["INFO", "LOG", "WARN", "ERROR", "DEBUG"],
	customCss: "css/custom3.css",
	modules:
	 [
		{
    		module: 'MMM-BackgroundSlideshow',
    		position: 'fullscreen_below',
    		config: {
      			imagePaths: ['<path to shared folder>'],
      			transitionImages: true,
      			randomizeImageOrder: true,
      			showAllImagesBeforeRestart: true,
      			//transitionSpeed: 0,
      			gradient: [0],
      			horizontalGradient: [0],
      			backgroundSize: "contain"
  			 }
  		}
/*************** DO NOT EDIT BELOW ***************/
	]
};

if (typeof module !== "undefined") {
	module.exports = config;
}

Easy as Pi.
