Hi,
I’m running in circles I guess. What I want is a card to display snapshots, which are jpg files, that are taken from a camera using the action “Take snapshot”. I store those files in a sub-folder of either the www or the media folder of HA.
Now I want to make use of the Advance Camera Card to display those files:
type: custom:frigate-card
cameras:
- camera_entity: camera.cameravoorkant
folders:
- type: ha
ha:
url: >-
https://*address to HA*/media-browser/browser/app%2Cmedia-source%3A%2F%2Fsnaps
path:
- matchers:
- type: title
regexp: snapshot*
view:
default: snapshots
What I get is a blank card. The camera_entity is a snapshot itself of the latest detection, being a jpg as well. Removing the view: part of the YAML shows me this static image.
The snapshots in the folder are named: “snapshot-camera-voorkant-20250911-072058.jpg”, adding date and time to the end. My most preferred view would be a timeline.
Solved it!
The main issue was that the old “frigate” config stayed active which resulted in an old card that did not work with folders etc. Using the trouble shooter from the Advanced Camera Card to remove the old stuff.
I have a similar issue. I have 4 cameras. Each one takes a specific motion snapshot. This is done via automations. The snapshots are stored in the www/cameras directory. The main reason for this is to allow for viewing outside of HA. Everything is working fine with the pictures being taken and stored. What I have a problem with is displaying these dynamic JPG files on a dashboard. If I use the picture card all I get are the static image of the snapshot at the time the dashboard is edited. What I need is the displayed JPG file be what is stored at that time.
Any one have any suggestions? Is there a different picture card I should use?
