Nothing diplayed #6

I've added a flash drive with jpg photos and mounted them on "/photos". After that installed MMM-RandomBackground and ran the "npm install' no errors.

After adding the module to the config.js nothing was displayed. I've tried different locations but then the MagicMirror 2 just stops loading.

Is there any logging so I can see whats going wrong?

Ultimatum22 commented 7 years ago

Did you mount them on /photos on root or in MMM-RandomBackground folder? No additional logging except the count of loaded files (I believe that log line is still present...)

Arkoxs commented 7 years ago

As suggested in an earlier post I've mounted the folder in root.

Ultimatum22 commented: Create a folder called photos in the root directory. Put photos or directectories with photos in there and they should load automatically

I have the same problem. created a folder called "photos" in root. nothing. everything is black

EDIT: Fixed. did "npm install" in the wrong folder -.-

Ultimatum22 commented 7 years ago

@Arkoxs The root of this module or root of MagicMirror? You should create the folder it in MMM-RandomBackground. I will commit a change that the folder will be created automatically.

Arkoxs commented 7 years ago

Great, that will be less confusing. "There can only be one root /"

Ultimatum22 commented 7 years ago

Do you have it working?

Arkoxs commented 7 years ago

Yes, after mounting my USB Flashdrive to ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-RandomBackground/photos and changing the position back to 'fullscreen_below', the images are displayed.

Thanks.

Arkoxs commented 7 years ago

My current config: { module : 'MMM-RandomBackground', position : 'fullscreen_below', // Any region but this one makes the most sense config : { animationSpeed : 1 1000, // How fast the new image fades into the old one (in milliseconds). A higher value means a slower animation. Default is 1000 ms. updateInterval : 1 60 * 1000, // How often a new photo is displayed. Default is 10 minutes. showAdditionalInfo : false, // Show image meta info. Default is false. randomOrder : true, // Display images in random order. Default is true. opacity : 0.5, // Opacity of the background. Ranged 0.0 to 1.0. Default is 1.0. //photoDirectories : // [Functionality not yet implemented] } }

Ultimatum22 commented 7 years ago

Great that it works. You have any other issues?

Arkoxs commented 7 years ago

Not sure what causes it but metadata and image orientation are not processed. Some of the images are displayed upside down and if I set showAdditionalInfo to true then at the bottom of the screen the text "Picture taken by Unknown" then all zero's for date and time.

Arkoxs commented 7 years ago

I'll create a new issue for those problems.
