I am struggling more than I should be I am sure. I have a reolink camera. It’s in the media folder. It works perfectly. However I have no idea what directory/path I am supposed to put in the automation I am creating to save snapshots when there is motion. It seems like everything i try HA cant see. I am using HA in UTM. Maybe I need to share something from UTM so o that everything can see it? I really just want the easiest way to save and SEE snapshots. Anyone?

Hello rich,
For me in configuration.yaml
homeassistant:
media_dirs:
local: /media
Then the /media path becomes part of /local .
And put the mp3 in a folder in HA under
/media/mp3
(The media folder already exists, you would want to add a sub folder to that, or at least I did, to keep your OCD happy.)
When I want to use an MP3, the path is
media-source://media_source/local/mp3/Ships_Bell_4.mp3
Adjust as you desire, but that is a basic version of mine.
