Background image from private iCloud folder

MajorC

Hello everyone,

My MM is more of a digital picture frame with photos and additional information about the weather.

I live in the Apple world. Now I would like to have a folder on the iPhone where I can copy the photos I want to see on the MM.

Has anyone done this before? I would also like my parents and a few friends to have access to this folder so they can put their pictures there too.

The photos should then appear randomly on MM.

Has anyone done this before and can share their setup with me?

Many thanks
Christian

@MajorC i have a module that presents a qr code and then the user scans with their camera and can select pics to upload …

the config sets where the pics go, and depends on what module you use to display pics

https://github.com/sdetweil/uploadPics

I use the MMM-ImagesPhotos module

which has an ‘upload’ folder inside and that is where I configure the uploadpics to put the images

used the module the other day to upload 40 pics from my phone at once

@MajorC said in Background image from private iCloud folder:

the MMM-ImagesPhotos module supports that

@MajorC the config of the two modules

{
        module: "MMM-ImagesPhotos",
        position: "fullscreen_below",
        config: {
                opacity: 0.9,
                animationSpeed: 500,
                updateInterval: 10000,
                backgroundColor: 'grey',  // not used if fill is true
                fill: false,   // fill around image with blurred copy of image
                blur: 10,   // only used if fill is true
        }
},
{
        module: 'uploadPics',
        disabled: true,
        position: 'bottom_left',  //module position
        config: {
                //dest: "../modules/MMM-ImagesPhotos/uploads"
                debug: true
        }
    }

I use my upgraded version of the module to support fill and blur
