After upgrading my MagicMirror to v2.38.0 I updated the PWS Weather Provider so it now works with both v2.38.0 and earlier versions.

@sdetweil I found this link. I cannot confirm it is what nkc is using.

@plainbroke I just got a firmware update and I see RTSP is listed under advanced settings for my Wyze Pan Camera. I have not set it up yet. Earlier I tried using Wyze-Bridge and got it to work with my Wyze V1 camera. None of my newer Wyze cameras would work. It looked like newer firmware prevents the bridge connection.

I know this information can be found in other hardware sites but I thought it might be helpful to have it here. I am using a Sanyo TV as the monitor for my Magic Mirror. I setup a cron to turn off the HDMI output of my Raspberry Pi nightly but when I turned it on in the morning the TV had gone into Standby and would not wake. I found that CEC needed to be turned on in the TV Settings. Then I could use CEC to wake the TV.

Here are my crontab entries for Debian 13.6 (Trixie).

# Turn monitor output on in the morning
0 5 * * * env WAYLAND_DISPLAY=wayland-0 XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/run/user/1000 /usr/bin/wlr-randr --output HDMI-A-1 --on '*'
# Wake the TV
5 5 * * * echo "on 0" | /usr/bin/cec-client -s -d 1
# Start Magic Mirror
10 5 * * * /home/marksimon/bin/mm start
#####
# Stop Magic Mirror in the Evening
0 20 * * * /home/marksimon/bin/mm stop
# Turn monitor output off in the morning
5 20 * * * env WAYLAND_DISPLAY=wayland-0 XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/run/user/1000 /usr/bin/wlr-randr --output HDMI-A-1 --off '*'
# Sleep the TV
10 20 * * * echo "off 0" | /usr/bin/cec-client -s -d 1

A provider for the US Open Tennis Tournament has been added to the MMM-BracketEngine module. You can select any of the draws (MS, WS, MD, WD, XD, BS, or GS).

MMM-BracketEngine now has providers for (fifa, usopen, wimbledon, static). Let me know if there is a provider you want.

@sdetweil I gave it a try and no photos displayed. I went back to my repo. The explanation I got from AI was this;
Why photos disappeared
non-fullscreen (bottom_center) crashes in getDomnotFS because EXIF is appended to this.wrapper (fullscreen-only) instead of the local wrapper. With default showExifDate: true, getDom throws → blank module.

Here is a shot of my MagicMirror layout. I wanted to get as much daily info into one screen as I could but also display photos at a size that was nice. Here is my module list;
calendars - directory for iCloud calendar sync
MMM-AirQuality
MMM-DailyBibleVerse
MMM-iCloudPhotos - syncs iCloud Photos Album to my Pi
MMM-ImagesPhotos
MMM-MoonPhase
MMM-Pinfo
MMM-PWSWeather - Provider for default weather module
MMM-UpliftingNews - An RSS reader with links to positive news. (Not in the list of 3rd Party Modules)
MMM-WordOfTheDay

@sdetweil Thanks for the detailed instructions. I am using your fork and I made the pull request. The only files changed are MMM-ImagesPhotos.js and I put my GitHub link in the README.md.

@sdetweil I was testing on an album with only 4 photos and set to sequential. What I found, with help of Claude, was Before the Dec 2023 fetch rewrite, every completed request did:

if (retry) {
  self.scheduleUpdate(self.loaded ? -1 : self.config.retryDelay);
}

After the rewrite it became:

if (!photosResponse.ok) {
  if (retry) self.scheduleUpdate(...);
}

So the directory list only refreshed on HTTP failure, not every getInterval. I have an updated MMM-ImagesPhotos.js with a fix but I don’t know the best way to send it. Would you like a diff, patch, GitHub branch, other?

@Bungle68 Thanks let me know how it works for you. A few things I have found so far. I am using it with MMM-ImagesPhotos. When I add photos to the Album they sync to the uploads directory but they don’t display until I restart mm. It may just be my config values. Still testing. Also if I remove a photo from the Album a blank is shown for the removed photo until MMM-ImagesPhotos refreshes. I guess this is expected. I am looking into sending a Notification to force a refresh.
