I created (yet another) photo / video frame with a Raspberry pi

Mon Feb 11, 2019 3:16 pm

Hi, I wanted to learn Python, and thought this would be a cool project. I wanted a photo frame that could also do videos so I could show plotagraphs or cinemagraphs. I thought that 'living art' frames would be cool. I didn't see anyone that had done it yet, so I put together a project that calls a python script at startup, and then launches either OMXPlayer or Feh to show images/videos from a folder. Then I added a web server so it could be controlled via phone/tablet/pc. Then I added MQTT because...hey it'd be cool to watch Netflix and have movie posters automatically show up right? Then I realized I have a problem with feature creep. The linked youtube video will show you how to setup your own, and includes a link to the pi image I put together. This is my first time doing my own pi image, first time with python, and such, so any feedback is appreciated. I'm not sure if I reinvented the wheel or did something awesome at this point :) - Video link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2f92ypMnDEs

Neat.

You never have feature creep in home projects - just more fun :lol: :D :lol:
