    @Sean :
    Got the scan calculation of how you got 2880 . thanks.

    Question:
    Does the Scan calculation mean If scanned every 10 mins, a total of 2880 photos will be scanned in 24 hours?

    If refresh Interval is every 1 minute, then 60*24 = 144 photos out of the 2880 photos will be shown?

      1api request could get 50 pics. 1000 pics need 20 api request. (1 scan)
      1440scan(1min for 24h) needs 28800 api requests. Thats quota over.

        Hello,
        I have installed this module and all options are working Except Fullscreen. When i setup to 100% nothing appears in Google Photos.
        If i set resolution manually it works fine. what could be the reason.
        Here is the setting.

         sort: "time", //'time', 'reverse', 'random'
            showWidth: "100%", // how large the photo will be shown as. (e.g;'100%' for fullscreen)
            showHeight: "100%",
            originalWidthPx: 1024, // original size of loaded image. (related with image quality)
            originalHeightPx: 768, // Bigger size gives you better quality, but can give you network burden.
            mode: "cover", // "cover" or "contain" (https://www.w3schools.com/cssref/css3_pr_background-size.asp)

          @uzair82 There is no reason not to work. Where(position) did you put your module for fullscreen?

            This is working fine now.
            Below is my config snippet:

            refreshInterval: 1000*30,  
            scanInterval: 1000*60*60, // too many scans might cause API quota limit also.
            //note(2018-07-29). It is some weird. API documents said temporal image url would live for 1 hour, but it might be broken shorter. So, per 10 min scanning could prevent dead url.
            
            sort: "random", //'time', 'reverse', 'random'
            showWidth: "100%", // how large the photo will be shown as. (e.g;'100%' for fullscreen)
            showHeight: "100%",
            originalWidthPx: 1920, // original size of loaded image. (related with image quality)
            originalHeightPx: 1080, // Bigger size gives you better quality, but can give you network burden.
            mode: "cover", // "cover" or "contain" (https://www.w3schools.com/cssref/css3_pr_background-size.asp)
            

            Question:
            My monitor is in Landscape mode. My Landscape pictures displays fine (Fitting exactly in screen). But portraits display in full size cropping the pic mostly and in an expanded view. Only part of image is visible since it large.

            Is there a way to “Fit the picture into the screen” when it is Portrait just like Landscape? I tried other mode. It is too small and has borders. I want the pic to fit exactly in the screen.
            My monitor is 22 inch, Full HD (1080P) if that helps.

              @krishnatnl
              Fit the picture into the screen has obvious meaning.
              Portrait image in Landscape Area (and vice versa) Is something like real pictures in real photoframe, you cannot fit your portrait picture into the landscape frame without cutting(mode:cover) or extra margin of both left&right sides(mode:contain). The bigger difference of ratio makes the more uncomfortable looks.
              Could be the 3rd option? Give me a suggestion.

              PS
              I thought options available to consider :

              • stretch the width of portrait picture fully to fit to landscape area. It makes your person in portrait looks like a hobbit.
              • cut the top and both moderately and also stretch horizontally not too much. Not displaying entire image and not covering whole area, but it will look nicer than current issue. The only problem is, where to cut and how much to expand is not be done automatically.

              Is there any idea?

                Maybe i did not explain properly. I need a layout for the portrait oriented pictures to fit in the screen without disturbing the aspect Ratio.

                MODE:COVER

                • Works perfectly for the landscape oriented pictures since it is fitting the picture perfectly in the screen. There is no stretch or crop.
                • Portrait oriented pictures are cropped to landscape orientation (technically).

                MODE:CONTAIN

                • Works fine for the portrait oriented pictures i.e: The full image is visible in the screen, no crop, no stretch
                • Landscape pictures are also displayed without crop, but there are borders.

                Need something like this:
                If the pic is a Landscape oriented one, Mode should be COVER, else should be CONTAIN.
                In Other words, need an AUTO-SCALING option.

                From a programming perspective, is this feasible? If not, I will try the COVER mode but not liking black borders for all the images.

                  In my MMM-DropboxWallpaper, I applied already that feature(automatically changing mode by ratio). I have been doubting whether it has really usefulness in real usage. Anyway I’ll consider this feature in this module too.

                    I’ve updated. mode:hybrid is available for changing mode:cover or mode:contain automatically by aspect ratio.
