Trouble showing media source

[AnthonyKNorman]

Hi

error in card:

Path does not exist. media-source://media_source/local/front_drive/plant.jpg

yaml:

type: custom:gallery-card
entities:
  - path: media-source://media_source/local/front_drive/plant.jpg

Run this in a browser and it produces the required image

http://192.168.68.130:8123/local/front_drive/plant.jpg

Is there anything else I can tell you?

Thanks

Hi, sorry

I now realise I was using the wrong directory.
Card works great, Thank you.

I could benefit from more complete examples. For example, how do I reference the images in /config/nest/event_media/6a9f9a6fbd8692dc5ef63004c98a09fb using media-source (ideally) or any other method?

card yaml (camera.front_door works, but none of my attempts to reference the snapshot images from the camera work.

type: custom:gallery-card
entities:
  - camera.front_door
  - sensor.nest
  - path: media-source://media_source/6a9f9a6fbd8692dc5ef63004c98a09fb/
  - path: >-
      media-source://media_source/local/config/nest/event_media/6a9f9a6fbd8692dc5ef63004c98a09fb/
  - path: media-source://api/nest/event_media/6a9f9a6fbd8692dc5ef63004c98a09fb/
menu_alignment: Responsive
maximum_files: 10
file_name_format: YYYYMMDD-HHmmss
caption_format: M/D h:mm A

config/configuration.yaml

sensor: 
  - platform: folder
    folder: /config/nest

I can see the images in the companion app under Media side bar > Nest > Front Door: Recent Events -- Just not using the gallery-card yet.

Any luck with this? I'm quite proficient in HA but this media_source stuff has me scratching my head.

"media-source://media_source" is how it's supposed to be? 😕

After reading every relevant forum post and issue plus hours of experimentation, I concluded that media source isn't working with gallery card. And since gallery card is no longer under active development, that's unlikely to change.
