MMM-UpcomingMovies

A MagicMirror² module that displays upcoming movies using The Movie Database (TMDb) API. It cycles through posters, titles, release dates, and overviews in a slideshow-style interface.

• Fetches upcoming movies from TMDb.
• Displays poster, title, release date, and short overview.
• Automatic slideshow rotation between movies.
• Configurable region, update frequency, and slideshow speed.
• Smooth fade and slide animations.

1. Navigate to your MagicMirror modules folder:

   cd ~/MagicMirror/modules

2. Clone this repository:

   git clone https://github.com/PakshalGada/MMM-UpcomingMovies.git

3. Install dependencies (if any are listed in package.json):

   cd MMM-UpcomingMovies
   npm install

4. Get a free API key from The Movie Database.

Add the module to your MagicMirror config.js:

{
  module: "MMM-UpcomingMovies",
  position: "middle_center",   // or any region
  config: {
    apiKey: "YOUR_TMDB_API_KEY",   // Required
    region: "US",                  // Optional: default 'US'
    maxResults: 10,                 // Number of movies to show
    updateInterval: 1000 * 60 * 60, // Refresh every 1 hour
    rotateInterval: 15000           // Switch movie every 15s
  }
}

This module comes with a CSS file (MMM-UpcomingMovies.css):

• Movie posters have a shadow and hover zoom effect.
• Text is centered with clean spacing.
• Fade-in and slide-in animations for smooth transitions.

You can override styles in your global custom.css.

• Requires an active internet connection to fetch data.
• If apiKey is missing or invalid, the module will show an error in logs and display no movies.
• If no results are found, you’ll see “No upcoming movies found.” on screen.
