FWIW, I did manage to do this. I added a line 155 to the MMM-BackgroundSlideshow.js:

image.src = encodeURI(this.imageList[this.imageIndex]);
this.sendNotification("IMAGEFILEPATH", image.src); //my stuff

Then I created a small module that displayed the notification.

Module.register("MMM-ShowMessage", {
	defaults: {},
	getDom: function() {
		var element = document.createElement("div");
		element.className = this.config.size;
		element.id = "IMGPATHFILE";
		return element;
	},
	notificationReceived: function(notification, payload, sender) {
		switch(notification) {
			case "IMAGEFILEPATH":
			        var elem = document.getElementById("IMGPATHFILE")
				var subpayload = payload.substring(53)
				elem.innerHTML = subpayload
				break
		}
	},
});

In my config.js I just added:

{
	module: "MMM-ShowMessage",
	position: "bottom_left",
		config: {
			size: "small"
			}
},

Now each time the image changes a notification is sent and picked up by the show message module which displays it on screen. I trim the path because the beginning was consistent among all the pictures.

@jrotondo I’m using AlexaOnOff which allows me some control over MM.

Here is the thread.

I’ve been using MMM-BackgroundSlideshow, it allows me to randomly display an image from 1000’s stored in a many level folder structure on my NAS.

@anthony Hi, I found this post maybe it will help? Also, custom.css is for all modules is in the css directory.

@strawberry-3-141 said in MMM-forecast-io -- Localized up to the minute weather:

.MODULENAME {
  transform: scale(0.5, 0.5);
}

if you replace modulename with your actual module name, this should give you a height and with of 50% of the actual size

@tanvir586 I’m no longer using the module, but this was an issue for me. I don’t remember the exact setting, but it helped to reduce the rate of refresh requests to the thermostat.

Re: MONITORON on does not work in schedule

So for the last two days, this has been working correctly. I think it may be a combination of @dazza120 fix to my config, not messing with the pi for a full 2 days to let it fully run through it’s schedule, and removing openGL.

@sdetweil

I thought I had tried setting it to 0, but apparently I hadn’t. Now that I have made that change, it is working fine.

The filetype for HEIC is supposed to “image/heic”. I added that to the enabledTypes array in node_helper.js and it now it is also working!

Awesome, as always, thank you Sam!

@sdetweil It’s working great now. No longer freezing on image files that it cannot open. And it is properly reflecting the error with the file name in the console! THANKS!
