MMM-GooglePhotos

Joeysface

I actually figured out one of my questions yesterday. I use this in the top right corner with a portrait aspect ratio. when a landscape photo would come up it would put the black bars on the top and bottom (I use the hybrid mode). I wanted to put the photo at the top of the container and put all the black space below the image. I was able to edit the css file to get it to work for me.

Hee guys.

Any ideas why my magic mirror states that my config is corrupt after adding this module?

originalHeightPx: 600, // Bigger size gives you better quality, but can give you network burden.
mode: "hybrid", // "cover" or "contain" (https://www.w3schools.com/cssref/css3_pr_background-size.asp)
//ADDED. "hybrid" : if you set as "hybrid" it will change "cover" and "contain" automatically by aspect ratio.

},

Appreciate your help! Thanks

I see that there is a comma missing at line 10 in between the || needs to be a comma.

sort: "time", //'time', 'reverse', 'random'|,|

I’m also not sure about the difference between ” and " (notice the slight angle) being a problem or not.

p.s. It’s pretty hard to read the code when only half of it is properly styled.

Is there a way to use this as fullscreen and have all the other modules still readable by putting a dark mask behind them?

@teitlebot set view position to “fullscreen_below” and modify css to add background to other modules.

@yupwho any luck with the dithering issue? I seem to be getting them on specific pictures although im not sure why just those.

Hi Thank you so much for creating this module I have set it up and been loving it!

The only issue I am having, however, is that when switching between images the module will fade to black for a second before going to the next photo.

Is it possible to remove this behavior and instead fade directly to the next image?

Thank you so much for the help!

@BryceTalbot
Possible by modifying source (showImage() of MMM-GooglePhotos) but not recommended. Because each picture size would be different, So the transition will make some annoying distortion on showing/hiding.

Any idea how I can get the monitor to rotate like this guy did except I want to use google photos? He created the code for arduino to rotate but the pi has to send a signal based on rotation of the photo.

@teitlebot you would have to do the same for google photos download… he could have worked out the horizontal vs vertical alignment of the picture…
