@madscientist Great, I am going to check it out, thank you so much !

@madscientist said in RPI Picture Frame?:

Kodi

I havent but can that run off a pi? I’m literally looking for like a fixed frame format where the pictures just rotate from a directory (it’s for an older person so they wouldn’t have instagram or some online photos)

@lavolp3 yea that’s what I’ve been looking at, the whole list is so strangely presented. i just deleted whatever projects I had and am going to start from scratch with a new API key but the quotas and stuff like that is just impossible to figure out where and what I’m entering in so I just wanted to make sure that the requests are limited by the MM module.

@lavolp3 OK great, I will try that. It will show traffic as well, right? Do you know what exactly i need to do to set it up so that it’s only the one call a day needed? and for the life of me i just can’t figure out how to set it up on the google console to limit it so i dont go over 200 per year. I know i need billing added which is fine, but i am concerned as to how many requests im making through the mirror. I just want to make sure that whatever i install is literally just 1 per day allowed.

Hi all, just wondering if there’s any software out there now which can run kind of a rolling picture frame which has lets say 6 or so pictures on screen and will update them from pics saved in a directory or on the Pi’s D card directly. I was thinking of doing this and hanging it on the wall rather than actually printing pictures old school.

thank you !

@mastev26 @anthony6608 +1 for me too, I would love that as well. what could also be good is if there is a service status from this file

http://web.mta.info/status/serviceStatus.txt

where you could pull this in and have just your train line and pop up on the screen if there’s any delay. dont know if something is out there like that now either…

I’m in the same boat, I am also lost as to how to set this up. I’m currently using MMM-Traffic and it was able to pull general data but not include any actual commute times based on traffic. Is there a step by step place I can go to to configure billing for my project and also set up some sort of quota so that it just stops working when I hit $200? In reality, I really just need one request a day at 6 AM to show the commute time when I leave, nothing more than that at all. Is that possible as well to configure that in my module (or another module if not possible with this one?)

@yawns you had converted this one for me and yes, it still works :-)

@cowboysdude ha i know the feeling. Thanks again!

@cowboysdude no problem, figured it would be a bit difficult
