Take all the time you need, since this is you doing all the work.
I am no good in coding although I learned some coding years ago I feel a bit ashamed I don’t contribute (well I found a Bug in MM 1 once and was happy to give Michael the hint).
I call it ideas - not requests because I am grateful for anything:
I would love to see an option to configure when the picture will change. Not based on the uptime of the mirror + x seconds.
More like based on the clock[daily, full hour, every x minute, every x seconds],
Probably even a scheduler for different folders/albums (ie. weekdays folder/album A , weekends folder/album B )
option to scale
option to include/exclude subfolders
I don’t know how this is handled but pre buffering the images would probably be a good idea due to the use of network shares.
Imagine your mirror would always access your NAS(my mirror is an always on device) the drives of the NAS won’t go into sleep mode.
A regular wipe of the buffer would be required so your mirror won’t run into memory problems.
therefore an option to configure buffer size and/or a configurable time to wipe the buffer
a local fallback folder(probably a standard subfolder of the module) when other sources are offline.
option to configure different animations how the pictures change
Again, these a just ideas, not requests!
I hope I will have some time around christmas to upgrade to MM2 - there are so many nice modules around and I know yours will be one of my favs.
Regards & happy coding
