This is a test release, please use at own risk.
Install from command line using:
sudo wget https://github.com/Geektoolkit/Dynaframe3/releases/download/2.07/install.sh && bash install.sh; rm -f install.sh
This has been tested with a NAS (manually mounted) as an added folder and has worked spectacularly.
Notes:
-Raspberry pi 3 (as tested) you'll need to use the legacy GL renderer, or Videos wont play.
- Raspberry pi 3A+'s may be dropping support...they have half of the memory of a 'full raspberry pi' and have caused issues
-Large images which are over 1080p takea considerable amount of ram, and may cause this app to get killed. This is a limitation of the framework and the raspberry pi together, and there isn't anything I can do. Please don't use images that are super high res. (over 4k for instance) - To mount a NAS share on a raspberry pi you can use the following format ( assuming no password on it). This will mount it to the folder 'nas' in Pictures.
sudo mount -t cifs //server/share /home/pi/Pictures/nas -o guest
Fixed - Issue where videos weren't playing. Found various bugs here and fixed them
Fixed - First image would show up squished, further ones would stretch out. There is a brief period of squish on first run, then it corrects
Fixed - WebUI changes are much more responsive on the app now
Fixed - Root Folder images now play when a folder is selected. There is no option to turn this off (likely won't be...it's a complex problem to solve elegantly)
Fixed - Various video playback issues
Added - Logging - The console on a pi now logs what's going on, which should help me debug things, and help users understand what's going on. Will move this to a text file eventually.
Added - Ability to set font for the clock
Added - Ability to set the format for the clock, you can now set the format to show the month, the date, the time, or any other combination.
(see here for format ideas: https://www.c-sharpcorner.com/blogs/date-and-time-format-in-c-sharp-programming1)
Changed - Video playback behavior - Videos now play using the following logic:
- If the video is shorter than the Slide duration, then when complete the slideshow will resume
- If the video is longer, it'll be killed at the slide duration and the slideshow will resume
The old behavior was videos always played till the end.
There was a TON of code rewriting here. This may cause a lot of instability, but will be much quicker to fix bugs now
