Idea: switch to another source on Day Range

[editwentyone]

hey, I love your plugin and use it every day.

it would be cool to have a configurable option to tell the system: on day X for 24h use that folder/source/etc so for example the background plugin switches to an anniversary album or birthday / child photos.

what do you think?

I had assumed as well that you would be able to select multiple sources in the config such as:

source: "apodhd", "chromecast", "bing",

It crashes instantly. So I guess only one source can be selected for all eternity unless you manually go in and change the config.js to pick a new source. Unfortunate. Your idea would be great if implemented or, just allow the user to select more than one source?

It's possible to specify multiple sources, you just need to use the correct syntax:

source: ["apodhd", "chromecast", "bing"]

What's not currently possible is only adding multiple sources on certain dates, and I'm not sure how to express that well in the config yet

Thanks for correcting me. I had assumed just following along with the original syntax would allow multiple sources. No idea I had to put it into [ ].

[kolbyjack]

No worries. The config file is javascript, so you have to follow its syntax rules.

I bump this again :) because it would make it so awesome

source:["iCloud:xxx","local:/mnt/data/x",…],
default-source:"1", //default source for the year
2023-12-31-source:"2", //new year
2024-04-01-source:"3", //birthday someone

note, I'm not a programmer, I have no idea what I am doing but I would need it tomorrow :P so there is a need there.
