I think you should adjust your custom.css.
add this to your css/custom.css

.fullscreen.below {
  width:75%;
}

And you would set showWidth and showHeight as 100%, mode as cover.

Then, you can get like this;

Bingo! That works very, very well.

I added new photos to my album but they are not displaying. Do I need to update the ScanInterval? What does the 1000 60 10 do exactly?

[bowlofred]

@wumpst If you look at the logs, you should see the count of photos in the folder every time it scans. Do they show a scan and is the count of photos increasing (and correct)?

[A Former User]

@wumpst it means scanning will repeat in every 1000x60x10 milliseconds (10minutes)

[wumpst]

@bowlofred where do I find the log?

[bowlofred]

@wumpst Depends on how you start it. If you run node serveronly (what I usually do for debugging), you’ll see it on your commandline. If you start it with pm2, it’ll probably be in ~/.pm2/logs. See https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/wiki/Module-Debugging.

I started with magicMirror and need to understand the following:

1. I want a picture to be displayed every minute (using it as photo frame). What should be the best Refresh and Scan Interval considering the API quota limit.

2. Can I add different albums (example: Travel; Wedding; Food) and make it work random?

3. Once the photos scan is done, the last photo scanned is displayed continuosly. Is there a repeat feature once the last photo is scanned?

Tomorrow I’ll research then I’ll leave my reply.

1. That’s what I do. I just used the default scan interval (10 minutes) and set the refresh to 1 minute.

...
                                refreshInterval: 1000*60,
                                scanInterval: 1000*60*10,
                                sort: "random",
...

2. I’m not aware you can use multiple albums. I just add any photos I want to display on a separate “magicmirror” album. The photos are simultaneously in multiple albums. That gives me control over what’s displayed, but it does mean I have to manually add everything into all the albums I want.

3. What sort method are you using?
