MMM-ImageSlideshow no showing and no errors in the log

pbrunson

Howdy,

I am trying to add a slideshow on the display but the images are not showing. Am I missing anything in the config? It is a basic setup.

Thanks for the help

My guess: It’s the path to your picture files.

Mine:
imagePaths: ['modules/MMM-ImageSlideshow/images'],

pbrunson

I updated and moved the images, but still no go.

@pbrunson

So, your other modules are working but ImageSlideShow is not?

{
            disabled: false,
            module: 'MMM-ImageSlideshow',
            position: 'middle_center',
            config: {
                imagePaths: ['modules/MMM-ImageSlideshow/images'],
                slideshowSpeed: 10000,
                fixedImageWidth: 800,
                randomizeImageOrder: true,
            }
        },

pbrunson

Correct, I will look try these adds.

@pbrunson said in MMM-ImageSlideshow no showing and no errors in the log:

Correct, I will look try these adds.

I see something else. You have

module: 'MMM-ImageSlideShow',

when you should have

module: 'MMM-ImageSlideshow',

That’s likely your problem

pbrunson

That was it, works great now (well after I put the fix settings in), thank you.

Did I see something about if the images change, this will not pick them up? I have another script that grabs updated images (same name) and puts them in the folder every hour. Will the module update them?

Mykle1

@pbrunson

The names wouldn’t have to be the same as long as the new files reside in correct path. However, the Dom may have to update so that MM isn’t just loading them from the initial loading/cache (If that’s how the module works)

Peace!

pbrunson

Great thank you, I will keep an eye on it.

I am successfully running the MMM-ImageSlideshow module, but the images in my image directory are constantly changing. Looks like the images are all loaded from cached folder information.

How would I update the Dom to get my new images on the mirror?
