This is amazing! Thank you for all of your hard work. Works perfectly

@sdetweil

you did. Maybe I can simply rescale my images, but if you have a work around that would be great. Just curious if it were my ignorance, or something else.

@sdetweil

Finally got it up and running. Thank you for your patience.
The only thing, because I’m running two instances, the positioning and photo size is quite off. MaxHeight and MaxWidth in config doesn’t seem to be influencing any and the custom css modifications also are not working as expected. Looking to keep the same posting for both url sets

@sdetweil

Thank you. I’m hoping to look at this tonight

@sdetweil

Thank you! I hit a large wall last night and needed to stop.
I’m back up and running, but still need to reinitiate my auto restart and get back to the task at hand of duplicating two separate ImagesPhotos modules.

My attempt at duplicating an additional MMM-ImagesPhotos module has still fallen short. I enjoy using the MMM-RemoteControl to customize the mirror real time. Which included the idea of running two identical MMM-ImagesPhotos modules (different names) to be in the exact same space on the mirror, but only one at a time. One url set showing family photos and the other showing my son’s favorite cartoons.
So having two different running modules (MMM-ImagesPhotos, and MMM-ImagesPhotos2, on MMM-RemoteControl is ideal for my purposes.

I’ll need some fresh eyes on it tonight. I figured since they were referencing different uploads folders from two different module folders, this wouldn’t be a problem.

Unfortunately adding the path to my config file did not allow for the module to run.
I’ll need to keep at it

@sdetweil

I don’t know what I did, but I lost my auto restart. Seem to have MagicMirror AND mm running (twice) somehow. My vnc isnt showing what the mirror is showing, MMM-RemoteControl on my phone lost my second instance of ImagesPhotos (which I couldnt get working anyway)…

I think I need a break for the night and possibly a fresh install in the near future, I don’t know how you do this

@sdetweil

Seemed simple enough, but leave it to me. No visuals for this duplicated module.

css folder renamed- but empty
node-helper.js and MMM-ImagesPhotos.js folders renamed as well as every instance of ImagesPhotos(2) renamed

Where can I look to troubleshoot?

@Nneuland

Hi Sam. Seeing that my duplicate module is “MMM-ImagesPhotos2”
Should I be changing all moments within the js files “MMM-ImagesPhotos/photos” or “MMM-ImagesPhotos” to “MMM-ImagesPhotos2/photos” or “MMM-ImagesPhotos2” ?

@sdetweil
Thanks Sam. I’ll give that a go later tonight/. thank you for your suggestion

HI there,

I’ve successfully duplicated MMM-ImagesPhotos to run two different photo sets, however I’m running into a silly issue.

Despite the “new” module MMM-ImagesPhotos2 working, it is referencing the upload images from the original MMM-ImagesPhotos upload folder. Even though the images are in appropriate locations.

Is this a caching issue? Any help would be greatly appreciated

@sdetweil
Thank you for the reply, Sam.
I am indeed using a 4. AND vnc is my connection, unfortunately.

This reddit thread mentions possible fixes for that. https://www.reddit.com/r/raspberry_pi/comments/175dw97/comment/k4fia8o/?share_id=TNg-oqa439pj6ZLxNBGMP&utm_content=2&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_source=share&utm_term=1

I imagine booting and running off of the M2 would be faster, and more space, but havent tried yet.

I would like to do a fresh install on anM2 SSD to improve speed of my mirror. I’m currently running an older 32bit OS on a micro SD.
Is there any way to know if upgrading to a 64bit OS on an M2SSD would cause conflicts? Apologizes for the noob question.

I think it would be great to have a kaleidoscope module. Something to distort a group of photos located on the pi. Color washes or mirrored moving images. Has anyone attempted this? I haven’t seen anything like it.

Is there an existing module to display an Owlet baby monitor feed?

@sdetweil
Got it! Solved!
Sam, I can’t thank you enough for your time and patience. I appreciate all of your help. Over the years even!
I dont mean to be an annoyance. I find these issues daunting and beyond understanding at times.

@sdetweil
After following your basic instructions I’m still having the issue.

To clarify, after adding the modules config information, the mirror wont start up… removing the config information and saving auto starts the mirror.

@sdetweil
I’m gonna give it a go later tonight

@sdetweil

Thank you Sam!!

@sdetweil

i have not yet. I’ll need to research how to do that properly…

@sdetweil
thanks Sam. after adjusting the devDependencies in package.json then running npm install seemed to correct the install.

I have auto start mirror enabled when making adjustments to config file. However after adding the config info for this module, the mirror wont start. maybe too old of a module…any suggestions on a better image viewer module?
