Does this work from the console? I want to keep it dry as possible....

It needs to be run locally from the LXDE desktop. You cannot even SSH in to start it, however it will autostart at power on if set up correctly.

My Pi Presents does it using Tkinter for text and omxplayer for the video. I haven't tried images using Tkinter/PIL but I don't see why this should not work with omxplayer. The video is always in front of the text but in later versions of omxplayer you can define a screen window for the video to sto...

Pi Presents, see signature for details. May be a bit over the top for what you want.

The Liveshow feature is probably your best bet.

Oh, also I did check on lxde-rc.xml, and this is the very end of the file: . . . # end of the example --> <application name="fspipresents"> <decor>no</decor> </application> </applications> </openbox_config> the top bar of the PiPresents window is still visible. Another question. In my Kiosk, I was ...

Ok, so either way, if I rewire my button to the PIR pin, or if I edit line 257 of pp_mediashow.py, that will have to be done custom for each box right? I'll give you a little background on this. I volunteer with a local non-profit museum, and what I'd like to make is a single, reproducible kiosk, w...

Cool thanks! I've got an exhibit clone with two tracks. One is a message saying "press play" and the other is the video. The show is set to wait for a button at the start, and then auto through the tracks, and loop. This works well, as when I run the script, it waits for a button press, then plays ...

i'm new here and in unix. i use a "raspberry pi", with raspbian. i have a problem with my omxplayer: http://www.esnucm.org/varie/omxplayer01.jpg as you can see in this picture the monitor is taller of the video, and i can see command as background. i don't like this, and i want to put a black image...

Ok, I seem to have gotten it working. Using the Exhibit template, I have photo slideshow, as a single show/medialist, that goes through 40 something photos. Setting each photo to a duration of 3 works great, cycles through each image, and loops back to the start. Setting a photo to a duration of 2,...

This is great news, I have been looking for a large touchscreen that will work with the Pi for weeks. Could you elaborate on 'works' - does it just replace a mouse. From the Python (patricularly Tkinter) programming point of view is the API just that of a mouse or will a special API be required. I w...

Hi all, I just found PiPresents, and have been messing around with it a bit. I'm attempting to make a photo slideshow. I used the editor to make a clone of the "liveshow" profile. I renamed things to my slideshow, and added a directory full of photos, but when I go to run it (sudo python /home/pi/p...

http://www.tandyonline.co.uk/ looks good for small quantities - only £1 postage.

http://cpc.farnell.com/ seem to be doing free delivery for any online orders. At least that is what is says on the front page even though the T&C says otherwise.

If you don't want any programming then use the liveshow facility of Pi Presents

omxplayer -o hdmi filename

I have just uploaded an update to Pi Presents beta. This release includes 'show control' in which a Control Track in one show can stop or start another concurrent show. It's initial use is to stop an audio background to a mediashow while a video is played, but there is likely to be many other uses. ...

Hi Ken, I have a kiosk display with four video tracks. Each video is supposed to play when a button is pressed. 4 videos, and 4 buttons - one for each. I want to start videos on demand from a blank screen. For example if the user presses button 3 I want video three to start. If there is another vid...

> My question is whether there is a way to get rid of the "loading" text that pops up just before the video plays. Is this a Pi Presents thing or omxplayer based? Its Pi Presents, just edit the resources.cfg file. See Section 9.2 of the manual. > Also, when using PPN as a black box, I had some issue...

I need to change volume through gpio is there a chance to get tips how to implement that In the beta of version 1.2 you can set the initial volume of a track but otherwise no way to do it at the moment without additional coding. What exactly do you want to do? I am thinking of some extensions to Pi...

KenT, I expect to use Pi Presents in an exhibit of science-fiction music later this year, with a mix of audio, video, and text. I'm hoping to use a 4x4 keypad with a serial interface (EDE1144) for menu selection, as there are a lot of examples in our 'short' list and I need to make navigation as qu...

always safer to wire switches to 0 volts rather than +3volts, also less likely to suffer from RF interference, so pullup.

My Pi Presents might be what you need http://pipresents.wordpress.com Ken Hi, currently looking to replace some very expensive OneLan hardware which is only ever used to show slideshows of jpegs and the odd movie. RPi is exactly what we want. Screenly is great and I like the scheduling but it only u...

Demo'ed at MK Jam last Sunday. Very impressive. Will be available soon they hope.

KenT

Te terminal closes because your program finishes immeadiatley, the Hi is probaably printed but not seen as it diasppears so fast. The interpreter window is different as it prompts for the next command and hence the window stays open. Something like this will might be better, it should loop until an ...

KenT

Funny you should say that; I'm having trouble getting my head around what it can do, I'm finding I can do things I never thought of when I wrote it. :shock: I think Pi Presents is too flexible to make a video, it would takes hours to show and weeks to make. However I am just putting together an intr...
