Requesting information about the feasibility of a project.

[hakariki]

Hi,

I have an idea for a personal Pi project but I first want to know if it is feasible.

I have two ideas:
1: CLI Image Slideshow
I want to create a simple slideshow direcly from the CLI. I want it to work without X. Is that possible with Python?
2: CLI Image Slideshow with omxplayer video
The same idea as above. But a slideshow that combines images and video. I think it is logical to try and use omxplayer for this. Am I right about this? And is this possible with Python?

Naturally I am willing to put in the hours to make this project work. But I was unable to find information if either of the ideas were in any way possible.

Any and all information would be helpful. I am a medium skilled programmer but trying to up my game.

Regards

certainly possible. We've done slideshow using pi3d which doesn't need X. There will be other ways see:

I've not really looked into the video but I'm sure you would be able to find something
