URL
Absolute path of the image URL.

Enable cache?
If set to 'no', your device will always re-draw the image URL, even if its filename matches the last rendered filename. Useful if your playlist is only a single Alias item, as the filename is used for cache busting.
Your own image, on a TRMNL ePaper display. Alias is for people who already make their screens somewhere else, like a script on a home server. Paste the image's full URL and your device fetches it straight from that address, so a local URL like http://localhost:4567/image.png works too.
The image has to be ready for ePaper: a 1 bit BMP, or a 1 or 2 bit PNG, at your device's exact size. We don't convert it for you (that's what Image Display is for). Rewrite the same file over and over? Turn off caching and your device redraws it every time, even when the filename hasn't changed.
