Hello,  
I search to change dynamicaly an image file in media node.  
I wrote  
msg.payload = {"category": "portraits", "name": "MalouAirodo.jpg"}  
The original image disapears but there is only the "not found" icon.  
The file exist in the category, how can I change it easely and dynamicaly?  
Thak you,  
Jacques

Is that what the built in help says to send to the node?

Finaly, searching the forum, I found the working solution:  
msg.payload = portrait/MalouAirodo.jpg (as string)  
Thank you, Jacques
