MMM-ImagesPhotos - Show images from a directory

balthaz

Hello,

I search to display my webcam on my mirror.

I think to use a script to upload jpg from webcam (http://192.168.0.160/tmpfs/auto.jpg) on the right directory.

But just the 1st image is displayed, for testing i do :

wget http://192.168.0.160/tmpfs/auto.jpg (see image on mirror)
rm *.jpg
wget http://192.168.0.160/tmpfs/auto.jpg (see the same image on mirror)

I playing with updateInterval and getInterval, no success.

Like there are a cache in app.

Thanks in advance, and thanks for your work

@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
