It could be because I am new to this but I've configured the config.js file multiple different ways and I am unable to get the source to pull for url. Right now I have it trying to pull from something I am hosting internally and it doesn't appear. If I have the source as http nothing shows up. If I leave the http(s) then some generic wallpaper appears. It could be a bug but it is likely my incompetence.

{
module: "MMM-Wallpaper",
position: "fullscreen_below",
config: { // See "Configuration options" for more information.
source: "http(s)://192.168.1.55:3000",
updateInterval: 60 * 60 * 1000,
shuffle: "true",
orientation: "auto",
slideInterval: 60 * 1000 // Change slides every minute
}

What's being served at http://192.168.1.55:3000/? Is that an image, or some html page that contains images? If you point the module at a url, it has to be pointed directly at the image, like http://192.168.1.55:3000/image.jpg

Thank you, I knew it was something I was doing. Much appreciated.
