wrong filename in description #40

Hi, I had the problem that background images never showed up. By reading through the closed issues I saw someone using "modules/MMM-BackgroundSlideshow/exampleImages/" instead of the path 'modules/MMM-BackgroundSlideshow/exampleImages/' stated in the description --> That worked for me

Wingysam commented 4 years ago

modules/MMM-BackgroundSlideshow/exampleImages/ is the same as modules/MMM-BackgroundSlideshow/exampleImages/. Can you please explain what needs to be updated? Thanks!

darickc commented 4 years ago

The quotes are different. Double quotes (") instead of single quotes (').

Wingysam commented 4 years ago

Huh, that's weird. Aren't they the same?

darickc commented 4 years ago

It shouldn't matter, but it seemed to help jowe2.

I need help. My MMslideshow images (default) don't show up. I've been on this for three weeks. I have tried on RPI 3b+, and with a different image on Pi zero W. Im going nuts and pulling my hair out. Can someone please work with me on this. My MM work great, just not the MMslideshow. I have used cut n paste on everything.

@sparky56 can you see anything in the DevTools Console?

darickc commented 4 years ago

Might be the same issue as this issue.

I did the MMM- folder , npm install Now its working. I looked again at the dev page I don't have any errors relating to MMM module only from two other modules that are running. Your the MAN

I hope this works for the other person having problems.

Thank you Sir.

How large are the images? Are there any errors?

sparky56 commented 4 years ago

Image sizes are smaller than your original ones.

No errors on dev page.

I removed my images, and sudo reboot.

Again 3 images then froze up.

update:

reboot this morning and it working. I added one picture, it worked. so I added another; it also worked.

You can't fix what isn't broke.

I did add a portrait picture but it did not adjust the screen for it. ???

Look at the backgroundSize setting for how to display images of different aspect ratios.
