MMM-ImageSlideshow Showing images from a USB drive

@MwMagicMirror if u leave out the imagePaths config entry it defaults to
imagePaths: [ 'modules/MMM-ImageSlideshow/exampleImages' ],the web server is already using /home/pi/MagicMirror as its root, so no explicit full path will work.
and u are specifying a folder in all cases…
the path is case sensitive

Perfect
I’m following now, working as advertised.

I do have one question.
All of my pictures have the proper orientation when viewed on my windows PC, however when copied over to my MM some of them are not oriented correctly.
Anyone know the reason or if there is a fix?
I really like the ImageSlideShow, I feel like it gives me more control over the Google Photo version.
Thanks

@MwMagicMirror sadly the browser doesn’t honor the orientation setting in the images…
i had a few like that and had to edit the image to force the correct orientation
there are a couple of libraries that could be used, but they are really pretty big.I use MMM-ImagesPhotos

@sdetweil
Just an FYI I did get all my photos to display correctly after using:
xnconvert from:
http://www.xnconvert.com
I selected ALL my photos and in the Actions section I selected Clear Meta data. I cleared everything but from a little research I believe I only needed to clear the EXIF data.
Anyway it worked.MM

@MwMagicMirror thanks for that great info!
