      Re: MMM-ImageSlideshow Showing images from a USB drive

      Hi,
      I installed MMM-ImageSlideshow and I want to upload the images from the USB drive. I don’t understand the settings from the last step:

      know terminal window write this
      ln -s / media / pi / home / pi / MagicMirror / modules / MMM-ImageSlideshow / USB
      now that create a short cut in the USB folder (windows man HERE LOL)
      I drill down into it

      Please, can someone explain in detail what I have to do?
      Many thanks,

        @george the module is hard coded to use the uploads folder in the module folder.

        so, if u want to get the files from somewhere else, u can use the linux link command (ln)
        to make uploads point to somewhere else.

        I do this to point to a server share being used on my pi.

        ln -s source_folder dest_folder

        in my case, from the module folder

        rm -rf uploads
        ln -s /media/myserver/folder/subfolder uploads
