Can't get MMM-Carousel to work with MMM-BackgroundSlideshow

[jimbocz]

I’m trying to use MMM-BackgroundSlideshow to show a full size background picture and MMM-Carousel to show the clock and weather intermittently. The background image works great but the Carousel just isn’t working. The clock and weather are on all the time.

Can someone please take a look at my config and help me figure out what is going on?

	modules: [
		{
			module: "alert",
		},
		{
			module: "updatenotification",
			position: "top_bar"
		},
		{
			module: "clock",
			position: "top_left"
		},
		{
            module: 'MMM-Carousel',
            config: {
                transitionInterval: 10000,
                ignoreModules: ['MMM-BackgroundSlideshow'],
                mode: 'global'                
            }
        },
	 {
    module: 'MMM-BackgroundSlideshow',
    position: 'fullscreen_below',
    config: {
      imagePaths: ['modules/MMM-BackgroundSlideshow/exampleImages/'],
      transitionImages: false,
      randomizeImageOrder: true,
      slideshowSpeed: 30000,
      resizeImages: true,
      maxWidth: 1024,
      maxHeight: 600,
      backgroundSize: 'contain'
  }    
  },
		{
			module: "weather",
			position: "bottom_right",
			config: {
				weatherProvider: "openmeteo",
				type: "current",
				lat: "51.5085",
				lon: "-0.1257"
			}
		}
	]

@jimbocz Seems that the position setting isn’t optional anymore. This works for me:

  modules: [
    {
      module: "alert"
    },
    {
      module: "updatenotification",
      position: "top_bar"
    },
    {
      module: "clock",
      position: "top_left"
    },
    {
      module: "MMM-BackgroundSlideshow",
      disabled: false,
      position: "fullscreen_below",
      config: {
        imagePaths: ["modules/MMM-BackgroundSlideshow/exampleImages/"],
        transitionImages: false,
        randomizeImageOrder: true,
        slideshowSpeed: 30000,
        resizeImages: true,
        maxWidth: 1024,
        maxHeight: 600,
        backgroundSize: "contain"
      }
    },
    {
      module: "weather",
      position: "bottom_right",
      config: {
        weatherProvider: "openmeteo",
        type: "current",
        lat: "51.5085",
        lon: "-0.1257"
      }
    },
    {
      module: "MMM-Carousel",
      position: "bottom_right",
      config: {
        transitionInterval: 10000,
        ignoreModules: [
          "MMM-BackgroundSlideshow",
          "alert",
          "updatenotification"
        ],
        mode: "global"
      }
    },
  ]

@KristjanESPERANTO said in Can't get MMM-Carousel to work with MMM-BackgroundSlideshow:

position: “bottom_right”

Thanks for your reply, trying that now.
