KPhotoAlbum

Tue Apr 21, 2020 12:38 pm

Hallo allen,

ik heb het volgende plan. Wil graag via Raspberry mijn favoriete foto's op de TV kunnen bekijken.

Wat ik wil aanschaffen:

> Raspberry PI 4 B, met een Sandisk Ultra 16GB class 10 en een schrijfsnelheid van 98 MB/s
> een externe opslag HD Samsung SSD 500 GB
> nodige toebehoren zoals power supply en kabels

Wat ik heb:

> Sony smart TV Bravia KD-55X8505B
> desktop PC met Mint 19.3 Tricia
> Linux program KDE KPhotAlbum versie 5.3
> uiteraard monitor, toetsenbord en muis voor de nodige installatie

Ik wil dit program installeren op de Pi4 en mijn fotobestanden (meer dan 40.000) op de bovengenoemde externe HD die aan de PI4 is aangesloten om dan via bluetooth KPhotoAlbum op de TV te kunnen besturen en de foto's te bekijken.

Kan iemand mij vertellen of dit gaat werken?
Iedere hulp is welkom en bij voorbaat hartelijk dank

Rolf

"Linux program KDE KPhotAlbum version 5.3
> of course monitor, keyboard and mouse for the necessary installation

I want to install this program on the Pi4 and my photo files (more than 40,000) on the aforementioned external HD that is connected to the PI4 in order to be able to control the TV via bluetooth KPhotoAlbum and view the photos.

Can anyone tell me if this is going to work?
Any help is welcome and thank you in advance"


Hi,
KphotoAlbum should install just fine on Raspberry - so you could use the setup in a similary way as you use it on other platforms (laptop/desktop). The only question mark with that setup is the bluetooth remote. Probably the easiest way is to buy a Mouse with bluetooth dongle for the USB and use it to control the KPhotoAlbum. You might be able to map the keyboard shortcuts of KPA to some other RPi remote as well, but I have not tried that.

I have the following setup for KphotoAlbum-annotated photos:
-Kodi (HTPC software) installed on RPi using OpenElec distribution (downloadable from kodi.tv site).
-MyPicsDB addon for Kodi (from Xycl add-on repository)
-An ETL workflow (created with Talend Open Studio) for reading the KPhotoalbum tags from index.xml and writing those in MyPicsDB SQLite database. This part is not that straightforward to implement for a beginner...

This way I can utilize the remote-control friendly interface of Kodi for browsing my photos - based on tagging maintained with KPhotoAlbum.
