Magic Mirror Module to get Amazon Photos as background images

Hi there 👋

mmm-amazon-photos's Issues

Configuration Example

Providing a template/example of the configuration would be helpful. I tried pasting the URL but not sure if I'm using the right format.
Below is how I used it in my config file, but no photos are loading.

  module: 'mmm-amazon-photos',
  // position is important
  position: 'fullscreen_below',
  config: {
  	imageUrls:"https://www.amazon.com/photos/shared/XXXXX",
  	backgroundSize: 'contain',
  	slideshowSpeed: 30000, //milliseconds

    // see below for configurable options
  },
},

Go back to previous image

Swipe, Click-drag-right or left arrow key should show previous image. Keeping only the reference of the last image is enough for the beginning. Ideally, we could scroll through the last x images.

Replace geo location with address, city or country name

At the moment, the module shows the image location as geo data in the format N/S/E/W-hour-minutes-seconds. This can be translated to latitude and longitude. The idea is to call a geo location API that will return an address, street name, city name, country to show instead of just the values.

Show image on page load

Currently a black screen is shown until the image has been loaded. If there exists an image locally it should be shown instead of the black screen. Also, the local image should be shown if loading a new image fails

Images in order or random order

Allow to configure to show images in order or in random order. Ordered images will show all images from one album before continuing to the next album. Random order will load the next image in line from a random album from the list

Show image metadata

Click/Tap should show additional image metadata on screen, while hiding all other overlay modules. Information to show can contain:

• Name of album
• GPS (coordinates, name of country or city or both, small map)
• exposure time
• Aperture
• ISO

Only data that is available should be shown, if data is missing it isn't shown, not even with a placeholder

Improve testing

Add, extend tests and automatically run tests on each push to GitHub through GitHub actions

Improve image positioning configuration

At the moment an image always fills the screen. It should be configurable to cover the background or fit in the image into the background i.e. portrait pictures in landscape mode should fit in window and leave black bars on each side. Also, panorama pictures never actually fit in the screen, so maybe the aspect ratio can be used to fit the pictures into the screen

Improve Error Handling

Errors are very verbose and not easy to debug. Needs improvement

Show image only. No other modules

Click/Tap on MagicMirror should hide all other modules and show only the image without any gradients on top and bottom, just like a digital picture frame would do it.

A flag in the config could be used to enable additional features if inputs are possible i.e. through touch screen.

Slide Show does not work

Hi There,

The module does not seem to want to slide show pictures in my shared album....

This is my config:

{ module: 'mmm-amazon-photos', // position is important position: 'fullscreen_below', config: { slideshowSpeed: 60 * 60 * 1000, imageUrls: ['https://www.amazon.co.uk/photos/share/xxxxxx'] // see below for configurable options }, },

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Many thanks in advance

Load next image through user input

Swipe, Click-drag-left, or right arrow key forces loading of the next image.

Position

I am trying to use this module to display my photos in one section of the screen (similar to other modules) rather than as the background. I've tried manipulating position, background size, and background position, but I haven't gotten anything to work. Is this possible?
