@Sean You are correct about ARM architecture, didn’t do my research properly. I did a quick search and it seems like a hazzle indeed. This seems to be a kind of solution, http://mitchtech.net/dropbox-on-raspberry-pi-via-sshfs/

I agree about the space but if you have a decent sdcard, like 32gb you can store plenty of photo’s and change them once in a while. I have set up a shared directory with samba to the photo directory directly. I just put my photo’s in here and restart the pi.

Would be nice if google photo’s introduces an api, I use it for photo backup at the moment.

@Sean There is a dropbox client for debian, if you use raspbian on your RPI this should work. I haven’t tested it but if you can get it to synchronize you can link to it from my module like yawns said.

@nobita I don’t want to store my photo’s on dropbox so I don’t have the need implement this option but my above solution should work.

@docmucki What is the value you use, because it is indeed in miliseconds as jfodor said.

@lignumaqua Can you post your configuration for my module? It should work full screen if you look at the default ‘fullscreen_below’.

How did you fix it? This could be helpful for other people in the future. For now only full screen background is supported, I might change this in the future.

Please show your config, I am assuming your either did something wrong there. Also how did you add this module? The folder and js file are wrong, should be MMM- before it.

Please post the part of the config file you have added for this module. Also did you look in the log and/or browser console? Without any info it’s near impossible to help.

Try this module: https://github.com/Ultimatum22/MMM-RandomBackground I developed it. Should meet your requirements.

Your welcome, good to hear it was what you are looking for. What do you mean with external source, like an usb stick? That isn’t that hard to implement. I am working on supporting multiple folders to read photo’s from, support for external source is then also done.

Good to hear. I did forgot I added some functionality that needed new packages.

Did you run npm install? Don’t think the packages have changed but just to be sure. Also the config you pasted is wrong, it’s missing a } at the end, is that just a copy paste error from your side?

How do you run MagicMirror, could you try display=:0 npm start dev from the terminal and see for console logs. My mirror works without errors with your config (when I add a } at the end).

Or go to :8080 in your browser, press F12 to open dev tools and check for errors.
