You could use MMM-EasyPix as a background module but that is really not its purpose. Just try this module.

@Albert2002

Add address: "0.0.0.0", to your config:

var config = {
    port: 8080,
    address: "0.0.0.0",
    ipWhitelist: [], // Set [] to allow all IP addresses.
    language: "en",
    timeFormat: 12,
    units: "imperial",

@userloris

You might try changing the config position of each module to fullscreen_above, as such:
position: 'fullscreen_above',

I don’t know how each module will react to such a setting. You might see some odd formatting in the display of modules that were not designed/intended to be displayed this way.

@dæmoneyes said in My Family Info Board:

Woh, imagine if you could have a floating rotating stormtrooper helmet as a module…any creators here who could make that???

Done! :-)

Here’s a picture but you can’t see it rotating. Below the picture is a video link.

This is done with my MMM-EasyPix module. You can use any animated.gif or mp4 files.

@greda

Try:

var config = {
port: 8080,
address: "0.0.0.0",
ipWhitelist: [],

I am happy to report that the module ran for the last 11 hours without a hitch. The visual image shows day and night exactly where it should.

Ok, I took a look at this at Peter’s request, so you can thank him. A number of things wrong with this config.

The author of “rainfc” created the repo in the name of MMM-rainfc. This is a problem because the module files are named “rainfc.js” and “rainfc.css”. So, for now, you can simply rename your MMM-rainfc folder to “rainfc” to coincide with your config.js entry. You can message the author about the error.
the rainfc module loaded once for me with a black and white graph. The very next time I tried to run it I saw the message “NO DATA” and this:

I highly suspect that the API for this module is having troubles, at least at the moment of my testing.

I have no idea where all those double dashes in your config came from. Those have to go. If you can simply copy and paste you can use this, saved as a js file and named “config.js”

I like people who write guides! I don’t use a PIR sensor but I do appreciate the time and effort you put in on everyone’s behalf.

@FlatPepsi

This should work, although it whitelists all IP’s

        address: "0.0.0.0",
        port: 8080,
        ipWhitelist: [],

Mykle1

Or, you can do it the lazy old man’s way. :-)

Mini power strip (inside mirror frame) your monitor and Pi both plug into and you still have an outlet available for something else. The power strip has an on/off switch which comes in very handy as a power switch for the Pi and only 1 wire comes out of the frame from the power strip.

Peace!

You had a bunch of syntax problems. Missing } , and ;

You can compare yours to this if you like, but this should work for you.

Editorial

It dawned on me, after reading through the 154 posts in this topic, that people may not know what they are asking of a developer. Yes, this is an open format, and you’re supposed ask for a module, ask for features, voice your opinion (that’s what I’m doing) etc… But think about it. What seems like a simple request might mean hours (or more) of work for someone who does this for the fun of it. Someone who worked all day and came home to a list of requests. It’s like being married twice. Now, who the hell wants that? :^)

The beauty of this format is this. You can fork any repo of any module. Now it’s yours! You can make, or attempt to make, any modifications you like. After all, all the work is already done, right?

I think at this point, if you became stuck with a modification, you could ask for help on how to proceed. I did just that the other day. I worked for 4 days on a problem and could not solve it. It was only then that I asked for help and I felt rewarded knowing that I did all of the work. I was also deeply appreciative of help that was given me.

Where am I going with this?

The hell if I know!

Peace!

@justjim1220

I can’t help you with the issue you’re having but I will test my ubuntu dev machine.

First, the config entry in your repo has the module name misspelled.

module: "MMM-RandomYoutubePlayer",

needs to be

module: "MMM-RandomYouTubePlayer",

And the closing } needs a comma. I only mention this because a new user might not notice this.

After correcting these, the module works fine on my ubuntu dev machine. It’s going through the playlist. However, there is one error in the dev console.

Failed to execute 'postMessage' on 'DOMWindow': The target origin provided ('https://www.youtube.com') does not match the recipient window's origin ('http://localhost:8080').

Thank you @tbbear for ALL the work on this!!! Excellent addition!

Then I guess everyone should thank him, including me. Thanks Robert! How nice of you to contribute. You rock!

@dgregory19

Or, use a remote file (as per the compliments readme) so as not to encumber the config.js file with a lengthy entry.

I did not like the old look, but the new one is very nice. Well done!

I don’t like that he wrote the most popular module. ;-)

@stephenmelody said in Integration with Aftership API:

would someone mind building an integration with Aftership? This is a site that allows you to view all of your shipments from multiple carriers in one place and has an API…

I’ve done what I could for you @stephenmelody. I hope it is, in some small way, satisfactory.

I’d appreciate it if you would stop making this module better and better and let some of us little guys get some air time. ;-)
