2 years ago I'm going to guess that part of the issue is setting your position to "middle-center", if you want it to cover the whole screen, you'll want "fullscreen_below". The secret code that goes with your api key is only necessary for uploading/managing items, so you don't need it in the config, as the module only reads data. Try something like this:
{
module: "MMM-Wallpaper",
position: "fullscreen_below",
config: {
source: "flickr-api:photos/soulreavers",
flickrApiKey: "2d5b6157bf2f6c403c",
shuffle: true,
slideInterval: 60000
}
}

Good evening, I have tried to get my personal photostream to show up as my picture source in your module and I cannot get it to work. I have no errors in my config.js that break MagicMirror and keep it from loading, so I think I just have my source information not input correct. Can you take a look at my config to see if it is obvious to you?
{ module: "MMM-Wallpaper", position: "middle_center", config: { // See "Configuration options" for more information. source: "flickr-api:2d5b6157bf2f6c403c:photos/soulreavers",
shuffle: true,
slideInterval: 60 * 1000 // Change slides every minute
}
},
I have tried formatting the source line several ways and sometimes I will get the stock flickr photos, but they are only 10 pixels tall and all the way across the screen. I have tried putting my API key where flickr-api is and I still just get a black screen in the middle of my MM. Do I need to put "photos/soulreavers" on a lower line or just change how it is attached to the API key? Flickr has a secret code as part of their API process. Do I need to incorporate it into my key somehow? Finally, I still have my MagicMirror "app" for Flickr (needed to get my API key) set as Private. Do I just need to make it Public and suddenly everything will work fine? Thank you for your help with this.
