fix

edit the smart-mirror/main.js
find the line

let mainWindow

and change it so it looks like this

let mainWindow;

function createWindow() {
    app.commandLine.appendSwitch('autoplay-policy', 'no-user-gesture-required');  //< -------- added

then save and restart MM

There are no mp4 files in use by MMM-EasyPix. Are you talking about the animated face (face.gif)?

I added a comma to the end of the line “sounds:”

Good catch! Thanks for bringing that to my attention, mate. :thumbsup: I’ve updated the readme example.

Would love to know how to have a slide show without having to create a list in the config.js file.

Again, this module was really only meant to be an accessory to Hello-Lucy so there was no need for the slideshow. However, this module

https://github.com/AdamMoses-GitHub/MMM-ImageSlideshow

does an excellent job of run a slideshow of your pictures.

            {
                    module: "MMM-EasyPix",
                    position: "middle_center",
                    config: {
                            picName: "DSC01423.JPG",             // Enter the picture file name.
                            maxWidth: "75%",                     // Size picture precisely. Retains aspect ratio.
                            sounds: ["1.mp3", "me2.mp3"],         // mp3 sound file names in quotes seperated by commas for Hello-Lucy
                            updateInterval: 30 * 60 * 1000,      // updates display
                            animationSpeed: 3000,
                    }
            },

Hope this helps

Would love to know how to have a slide show without having to create a list in the config.js file.

unless the files or folder have the wrong permissions…

In which case, it wouldn’t be the module that is at fault. Just keeping it simple!

All of the pictures, that I wish to have cycling in this module, are in the “pix” folder.

Cycling is being worked on at the moment. That should be working soon. This module was really created for use with Hello Lucy where there is no need to cycle the pictures. However, I just downloaded the module (again) and used the config entry above and it works without issue.

If you have not changed any of the module files then the only thing that would cause this issue for you is the config.js entry (or another module).

EDIT: @sdetweil was kind enough to download and run MMM-EasyPix for me and he had no issue. It worked as expected for him.

Please post your config.js entry for MMM-EasyPix

Your config.js entry should look like this.

{
    module: "MMM-EasyPix",
	position: "top_center",
	config: {
		picName: "4.jpg", // Enter the picture file name.
		maxWidth: "75%",        // Size picture precisely. Retains aspect ratio.
		sounds: ["1.mp3", "me2.mp3"]  // mp3 sound file names for Hello-Lucy
	}
},

The actual picture file goes in the pix folder within the MMM-EasyPix folder.

You have to name the files exactly. In the example above you see picName: "4.jpg", . 4.JPG would not work.

Remember

All picture files go in the "pix" folder inside the MMM-EasyPix module folder.

Did work for you?
