      If I update the image frequently, is there a way to save the path to the image in the USB folder?

        @prism you will have to make a link from the module folder to the USB folder, then it will work…

        the MM web server root is the MagicMirror/modules folder

        see the ln command

          Can you explain in detail? I’ve modified the path in ‘config.js’ and the module ‘MMM-BackgroundSlideshow.js’, but it does not recognize it.

          Wait for your detailed reply.

            @prism who u calling elderly!. I am 68 in 2 weeks…lol!

            the link (ln) command provides for a local folder (or ) file, actually being someplace else

            so,

            ln -s "the usb folder" "some_new_directory in the MMM-BackgroundSlideshow folder"
            

            then config the module to show images from the “some_new_directory in the MMM-BackgroundSlideshow folder”

            in my case

            lrwxrwxrwx  1 odroid odroid   18 Apr 29 12:40 uploads -> /media/odroid/misc/
            

            uploads (here) points to my external disk shared over the network and mounted at /media/odroid/misc

            so my commands were

            cd MagicMirror/modules/MMM-ImageSlideShow
            ln -s /media/odroid/misc uploads
