Sure can: I’m travelling next week but will share it when I get back

Took me a few months but finally have my MM version of our old DAKboard up and running how I want it:

Modules:
Wallberry Theme (to mimic DAKboard’s style as closely as possible)
MMM-MonthlyCalendar (displaying our shared Google family calendar)
MMM-HomeAssistant (for screen auto-on/off based off HA movement detection)
MMM-BackgroundSlideshow (pulling top-rated photos from my Synology NAS)

Thanks Ralf, tried that but still no luck!
That allows me to add/remove text at the top of the module header but doesn’t allow modification of the header of the embedded ‘imageInfo box’.

I’ve tried:
imageInfoTitle: “test”,
and
imageInfoHeader: “test”,
with no luck either.

Searching here: https://github.com/darickc/MMM-BackgroundSlideshow suggests like it’s not configurable and I’ll just have to live with it

Thanks guys

Thanks Sam

Tried that with no luck. 7 years since there’s been any activity on the GitHub for it: I guess I’ll have to try something else instead!

Using MMM-BackgroundSlideshow for a while now and trying to tweak the imageInfo box to remove the header.

Current header: PICTURE INFO
I’d like to remove it entirely.

My module config is below:

	{
			module: 'MMM-BackgroundSlideshow',
			position: 'fullscreen_below',
			config: {
  				imagePaths: ['/mnt/nas/'],
			recursiveSubDirectories: true,
			transitionImages: false,
  				randomizeImageOrder: true,
			showImageInfo:	true,				
			imageInfoLocation: "bottomRight",
			**imageInfoTitle: "Photo Details",	//fails to change header**
			imageInfo: "date",
			showProgressBar: false,
			imageInfoNoFileExt: true,
			showAllImagesBeforeRestart: true,
			slideshowSpeed: 600000
				}
	},

Note: the bold line (imageInfoTitle) was my attempt to change it to see if that worked but it didn’t.

Bonus points for any way to have the photo date display without the timestamp

Thanks

Has anyone recently installed/configured MMM-BackgroundSlideshowInfo by gpetersen?

The installation guidance here: https://github.com/gpetersen/MMM-BackgroundSlideshowInfo from 7 years ago mentions having to install a specific version of MMM-BackgroundSlideshow as the original version is not compatible?

Until the original MMM-BackgroundSlideshow module updates their code, you will also need an updated version of MMM-BackgroundSlideshow found below. You need this module in addition to MMM-BackgroundSlideShowInfo.
Run: git clone https://github.com/gpetersen/MMM-BackgroundSlideshow.git (This version is needed so it will send notifications when the image changes).

As this is from 7 years ago, and MMM-BackgroundSlideshow has been updated many times since then I was wondering is this still necessary?

Managed to figure it out: just bracketed out the position line in the Wallberry CSS and it’s suppressed

I’m loving the Unsplash module style & layout but I don’t want to use Unsplash for the background images.
Is there an easy way to disable Unsplash entirely and use MMM-BackgroundSlideshow instead?

I have MMM-BackgroundSlideshow working but I had to enter an API for Unsplash to stop it giving an OAuth error and it’s still displaying Unsplash photo tags in bottom right (even though the images are mine!)

Below is my current Wallberry module config:
modules: [
{
module: “WallberryTheme”,
position: “fullscreen_below”,
config: {
unsplashAccessKey: “REDACTED”, // REQUIRED
//collections: “” // optional - leave empty for a random photo
}
},

On down my modules list I have MMM-BackgroundSlideshow setup as below:
{
module: ‘MMM-BackgroundSlideshow’,
position: ‘fullscreen_below’,
config: {
imagePaths: [‘/mnt/nas/’],
recursiveSubDirectories: true,
transitionImages: false,
randomizeImageOrder: true,
slideshowSpeed: 600000,
}
