MMM-ImagesPhotos - Show images from a directory

@balthaz Yes is the cache of Electron app, because the name is same for image url.

I create a little hack for this but I think this can be overhead the cache of app. Can you try and tell me?

Other way is create a new name and delete previous file in your script

wget -O $(date +%s).jpg http://192.168.0.160/tmpfs/auto.jpg

From reading the readme, i couldn´t figure out where to place the directory MMM-ImagesPhotos searches for the pictures.

@Mire Hello,

I added a little more explain.

The directory where is searching the images is
MagicMirror/modules/MMM-ImagesPhotos/uploads

The directory called uploads inside the module

Hi, Great job with this Module (really easy to understand),
It is a way to display an imagen according some parameter ? like the day of the week ? I will like to use as Alternative Calendar for my 5 Years old son, images like Music Note to don’t forget his Music instruments on Thursdays or Swimming course Tuesdays and Thursdays and so on… Your Modul is perfect for that, unfortunately i don’t know how to program as filters. Can you help me with this idea ?
Thanks in advance
