I’m probably doing something wrong but it seems to me that MMM-BackgroundSlideshow is not responding to notifications.

I have MMM-Keypress installed which works fine with MMM-Pages but when I try to set it up to send notifications to MMM-BackgroundSlideshow, it’s like BS is ignoring them. (Using the same exact keys/configuration to send a notification to MMM-Pages works fine.)

Here are my config.js entries:

		{
			module: "MMM-Keypress",
			position: "bottom_right",
			config: {
				notifications: [
					{key: "Enter", notification: "PAGE_INCREMENT"},
//					{key: "Tab", notification: "PAGE_INCREMENT"},
//					{key: "Space", notification: "PAGE_INCREMENT"},
					{key: "MOUSE_SCROLL_UP", notification: "BACKGROUNDSLIDESHOW_PREVIOUS"},
					{key: "MOUSE_SCROLL_DOWN", notification: "BACKGROUNDSLIDESHOW_NEXT"},
				],
			}
		},

		{
			module: 'MMM-BackgroundSlideshow',
			position: 'fullscreen_below',
			config: {
				imagePaths: ['modules/MMM-BackgroundSlideshow/Paintings/'],
				transitionImages: true,
				randomizeImageOrder: true,
				slideshowSpeed: 3600000,
				resizeImages: true,
				maxWidth: 1080,
				maxHeight: 1920,
				backgroundSize: "contain",
				transitions: ["opacity"],
				showProgressBar: true,
			}
		},

Note that I’ve tried a whole host of keys/keycodes and they work fine with MMM-Pages but do nothing for MMM-BackgroundSlideshow.

I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong.

@rmonkey

That’s awesome. Thanks for the additional info. I may try to do the same thing at some point, if I can get my wife to let me cut into the wall. 8^)

I’m planning on using a french cleat for my board that I’m working on in the kitchen; it seems the best way to go all around.

Great work and thanks!

Looks great!

I would love to see a picture of the recessed outlet and hear more about how you did that.

Also, is the monitor one of the portable monitors you can find on Amazon?

@Volkae
Yes, that should mean it should be removed after 5 minutes. It’s possible that it’s not checking that as often as it should. I’ll look into it.

To be honest, I’m not sure what controls how often it looks at that sort of thing – I think a new e-mail arriving triggers an update but I’m not sure. I may have to implement a timer of some sort (though I have no idea how to do that as yet).

The downside is that I don’t want it to check for e-mail too often as it may be viewed as a hacker/spammer. I’ll see what I can figure out.

The possibility to see a running text (like a newsticker) would be nice……

I have actually thought about that and started looking at
MMM-NewsFeedTicker to try and figure it out. It shouldn’t be hard but my knowledge of CSS is virtually non-existant.

I got rather busy with other stuff and was unable to follow through on that but at some point I will pick it up again.

I did a quick test with my wife’s school google e-mail and didn’t work for me either. I googled around and found that gmail doesn’t support plain imap anymore. (https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/6010255)

It appears you can set up a specific “app password”:

Instead you can enable 2-step verification in your Google account security settings (https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/185839), then generate an application password to use instead of your regular account password (https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/185833). – from https://support.google.com/mail/thread/221127207/

I’m not able to test that right now (I can’t muck up my wife’s work e-mail) but I will give it a bash as soon as I can.

I’ve updated the module list:

Apparently, GitHub’s automated abuse detection decided I was a bad guy and did indeed shadowban me. (They probably talked to my kids or something.) Anyway, it looks like it’s fixed now.

@KristjanESPERANTO

@KristjanESPERANTO I don’t know. I can see it just fine but it doesn’t seem to be accessible otherwise. I posted in the github community but have not received an answer yet. Searching for info turned up nothing so far.

Searching when not logged in won’t find it and I can’t even find my user. Maybe I’ve been shadowbanned or something? Can’t imagine why.

@UncleRoger Nice. Do you want to add it to the list of modules?

I should do that. I will do that. Thanks for the reminder.

@MZ-BER
FYI, I’ve published and posted in the modules/showcase forum.
