Hi all,

I’ve been running MM on a laptop (Debian desktop) directly attached to a monitor (via HDMI) for years and have it in portrait mode (e.g. rotate display). I set rotate display in the Debian settings.

I am trying to migrate over to using a MM server and using a device to just display (Google TV dongle) the ip:8080 in full screen but still in portrait mode. I’ve installed Debian server and then installed MM using Sdetweil’s scripts. Everything is working except for rotating the display.

How do I get MM to display in portrait mode when using the ‘server only’ ( npm run server) option?

Hi Sean,

I keep getting the “[GPHOTO] Scan finished : 0/There is no scanned photo currently.” error however there are 3000 photos in the folder. Sometimes it will successfully scan and display the photos fine but more and more recently it fails.

{
		module: "MMM-GooglePhotos",
		position: "fullscreen_below",
		disabled: false,
	config: {
		albumId: "xxxxx", // your album id from result of `auth_and_test.js`
		refreshInterval: 1000*60*5,  
		scanInterval: 1000*60*10, // 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: "1380px", // how large the photo will be shown as. (e.g;'100%' for fullscreen)
		showHeight: "1060px",
		originalWidthPx: 1380, // original size of loaded image. (related with image quality)
		originalHeightPx: 1060, // Bigger size gives you better quality, but can give you network burden.
		mode: "contain", // "cover" or "contain" (https://www.w3schools.com/cssref/css3_pr_background-size.asp)
  }

Inspector shows it loads the module but not an actual photo.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I posted this on the GitHub page;

When I use the default Long and Lat, the module loads. London works as does Vancouver and New York however when trying Hawaii, Sydney, Paris, Cape Town, Moscow, Melbourne, and Wellington, the module will not load. Using https://www.latlong.net/ for Long and Lat.

When I use the same Long and Lat in this module that works with the Forecast.io module, the module won’t load. At first, I thought it was southern hemisphere’s (given the Lat is a ‘negative’ number) but that doesn’t appear to be the cause.

So it seems that this already exists with this module. Forum thread here.

However I can’t get it to work. Have configured everything correctly. Have MMM-Notifications showing my calendar is broadcasting events and tested with a couple different ‘trip keys’.

Anyone else get it working?

Edit - TrafficCal also seems to break the calendar modules (both default calendar and MMM-MyCalendar).

A ‘Google Free API’?

You mean a free API from Google?

Then, yes.

Hi,

I’m playing around with a dashboard style setup. I’m using MyCalendar and MyCommute (both great modules - thanks J.E.F.F.) and trying to work out how to use MyCalendar’s event broadcast feature to send that information to MyCommute so it can automattically add new ‘commute events’ so I don’t have to go into config.js for one-off events.

Is this possible to do?

Thanks in advance.

Mark.

This is my code and it updates with traffic as expected.
