MMM-BackgroundSlideshow wrong filename in description

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

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

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

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

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?

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?

May 22 '20 06:05 darickc

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.
