Can I produce a slideshow??

[marxvilly]

Hi!!

I just installed freevix on my epia; now everything seems good... but now I have another question to ask: How can I have a slideshow?

Most of the time my epia should show photos... How can I do that without any interaction (maybe, I can start something, but the slideshow should be automatic!). Is this possible with freevo?

Best Regards,
Marcello

mmmhhh... not a freepia (i guess you mean freepia and not freevix ) question

but okay. ive done just a small google search and found this site

http://freevo.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/doc/ImageUsage

and a few minutes of scripting makes it easy to auto-create playlists

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh

FILE_EXTENSIONS="*.JPG *.jpg *.gif"
echo "[Slides]"

ls -A $FILE_EXTENSIONS | while read LINE ; do
        echo "FileName: "$LINE"; Caption: "Image $LINE"; Delay: "1""
done


ive made a note in my todo for this. maybe i'll write a small freevo plugin to get a menu, to start such a script from within freevo for a given (image) directory.....
