Help on webcam plugin

Post by adelrosso » Wed Nov 08, 2017 2:21 pm

I already configured webcam block and it works, but i don't understand how the plugin works.
I start by saying that my ip cam saves pictures via FTP according this folder structure: yyyymmdd/images/Pyymmddxxxxxxxx.jpg
So i wrote a cron script that every 15 minutes copy last picture in "./webcam" folder and rename it "last.jpg".
The question is: how do I configure the plugin and timelapse? I have to link plugin to "/webcam/last.jpg" picture, and setup webcamUpdate.php for run every 14 minute? Or plugin only works if linked to "/yyyymmdd/images/" dir? if so, I would find a way to daily update plugin to link to new folder...
Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.
