MMM-EasyPix problem... missing a step?

TexityTex

Thank you for your responses.
Yes, I am aware that the pictures go in the pix folder, I thought I specified that in my original post. I guess I did not.
All of the pictures, that I wish to have cycling in this module, are in the “pix” folder.
I have even double checked since your posting @Mykle1 and yes, my module entry is correct. It is specified to a file “thanksylva.jpg” in the pix folder.
Still nothing more than a “missing image” icon displays in the module.

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

@mykle1 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!

i copied the config info from the mm-easypix readme, and pasted into the config.js modules section, and restarted the mirror… no other changes

Interesting. I changed nothing other than the name of the picture I wanted to test with. I’ll dig back into it, thank you for your responses.
My apologies for delayed response, I haven’t had much time for personal projects lately.

I had a similar issue. I added a comma to the end of the line “sounds:”

            {
                    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.

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

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

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

@Stoffbeuteluwe

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