@mrchips83 Thanks for sharing.

Interest is peeked again! Think I’m going to dive back into MM.

Not being able to write my own code is always a challenge. But that would be a key feature to sort/detect light and dark based photos (portrait vs landscape too) and take it up a level.

My wife is nature and wildlife photographer so we have about 300k+ photos.
I actually spent too many hours sorting through photos to find the right ones that worked with my fonts and color layouts.
Additionally, I had to choose all portrait size to not mix landscape and ensure they all work perfectly.

In the end I chose about 200 photos that worked best with my layout.

Guess it’s more a love of labor ;-)

Looking Good.
That is pretty much what I was trying to accomplish 2 years ago but gave up.

MagicMirror is fantastic, but ideally just looking to build a calendar with photo transitions.
Spent much time trying to configure our calendar on our cell phones to sync to the cloud and show up on the screen - got part way there.

Another big challenge that would be so perfect is date/time photo folders.
For instance automatic winter photos in winter, summer photos in summer and photos of a specific person on their birthday.
Easy to create folder arrangements to do this, but no code to schedule.

Layout was also a challenge with MM to mimic DAK, but came very close. Let’s admit that DAK is an impressive clean and nice look.

Anyway, congratulations and please keep us updated when you are finished.
Would love to see your final display!

Thanks for sharing too. You might have inspired me to jump back into this.
