iCloud Photo Not Displaying
Closed this issue · 5 comments
Good evening! I have been trying to configure this module to work with my public iCloud Photos album for a few days now (off and on). I have not been successful in getting the source to work for it. When I use Bing or Chromecast as the source, it works great!
This is likely user error, but I would greatly appreciate any help you are able to provide!
I've tried the following for the source line:
source: "icloud:https://www.icloud.com/sharedalbum/<assigned#>" - This give me a black screen
source: "https://www.icloud.com/sharedalbum/<assigned#>" - This give me a black screen
source: "icloudphoto:https://www.icloud.com/sharedalbum/<assigned#>" - This defaults back to bing
source: "icloudphotos:https://www.icloud.com/sharedalbum/<assigned#>" - This defaults back to bing
Entire Module for reference:
modules: [
{//https://github.com/kolbyjack/MMM-Wallpaper
module: "MMM-Wallpaper",
position: "fullscreen_below",
config: {
source: "icloud:https://www.icloud.com/sharedalbum/<assigned#>",
filter: "grayscale(0.5) brightness(0.5)",
orientation: "auto",
crossfade: true,
updateInterval: 60 * 60 * 1000,
slideInterval: 5 * 60 * 1000 // Change slides every minute
}
},
It should be just be icloud:<assigned#>
That worked! Just for reference, the iCloud link had a # sign starting that specific code. I tried it with the # sign and it dit not work. I removed it and it did! This just made my weekend! Thanks!
Where can I get the Assigned ID please? I can not find it anywhere. Thanks
I got it. Thanks
For assigned ID, you have to use a Mac device and open Photos. There you can identify the shared folder and the ID will be embedded on the URL when you view the shared album on a browser. The ID is the number following the # symbol.
