@FreelanceMKE true and false should not be in quotes, also fetchInterval and maximumNumberOfDays.

Only text strings need quotes

on linux you can replace the command being executed to play audio with a shell script of the same name (and rename the old file and call it from the script) and then add your own behavior.

i always have to mute the mirror (or TV) when audio is playing, even with my true Echo.

@DocVooDoo no… no cache

@DocVooDoo ok, i changed mine to add that parm, and don’t see any different behavior… still get feed items displayed.

@DocVooDoo open the developers window, ctrl-shift-i, and select the console tab, then scroll up to see if there are any errors… usually red text…

let us know

@prism great!.. can u mark this is resolved…

@tc60045 so, can u collect the info in python, then pass that info to the module and have it display?

home do you want this to look?

@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

@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
