2 years ago nixplay isn't a supported source, they don't appear to have a public api, and I don't have an account to try to add support for it. When you set your source to nixplay:whatever, the module is falling back to displaying bing's daily wallpapers. When you give it the http url, it's trying to load that exact url as an image (this is usually for webcams/security cams). Without an api, there's really no way I'll be able to add support for these, sorry.

I am trying to link my Nixplay playlist to my MagicMirror. I already have MMM-Wallpaper pulling from a local source and it works fantastic, but my family all got NixPlay frames for Christmas and are sharing playlists and things to each other's frames. Instead of having a Nixplay picture frame sitting on a wall doing the exact same thing that my MagicMirror is, I thought that I might be able to have your wallpaper module access my pictures from my Nixplay online account.
When I add the line 'source: "nixplay:app.nixplay.com/#/playlists/playlist/removed for privacy",' I get a rotating wallpaper but it has none of my playlist pictures (they must be stock pictures from NixPlay) and it will not pull any pictures from my local storage anymore.
If I change the line to 'source: "http://app.nixplay.com/#/playlists/playlist/removed for privacy",' the magic mirror will load, but I get only a black background with no pictures being projected as a wallpaper from either my playlist or my local storage.
I guess I have three questions with this.
One, any ideas on what I need to change on my source line to be able to pull my actual pictures off of NixPlay? Two, do I need to have my login information setup in the config to pull my pictures instead of the stock pictures, and if so, how would I add that to my config? Three, how do I have your module pull from both sources either randomly or in an alternating fashion?
Thank you so much for your help and time with this. I have been loving learning programming my MagicMirror and figuring out how things are supposed to be formatted to get it to work correctly.
