screensaver photo slide show

Lieven Hollevoet edited this page Sep 22, 2014 · 1 revision

Misterhouse has a built in slideshow feature to display photos upon your screen after a timeout of 5 minutes (can be set with the parameter)

html_alias_photos = /some/path/to/your/photos/frame

you can re-load your Misterhouse (Misterhouse Home (button)->Browse Mister House (button)->reload code

then you can hit the search icon on the top right, and in the seach box just click and then it enter. This will bring up all the voice commands for Misterhouse. Look for reindex the photos (the choose the option from the dropdown)

This will cause Misterhouse to recurse the photos directory you pointed to above. The slideshow module will use the text file created to crawl though those photos displaying one at a time for a minute or so.

Currently any photos taller than the frame will be cropped. Need to do more research on that.

in summary if you have two DIRECTORIES in frame:

Frame-wide Frame-vert

then html_alias_photos = /some/path/to.your/photos/frame will cause misterhouse to recurse BOTH of those directories or many directories in that path.
