slide
Simple, lightweight slideshow selecting random images from specified directory. This slideshow is designed to compile and run also on a Raspberry Pi, for example to turn it into a digital picture frame.
Tested versions:
- Raspberry Pi 3 running Raspbian Stretch.
- Raspberry Pi 3 running Raspbian Buster.
Screen background is filled with a scaled version of the image to prevent pure black background.
Usage
slide [-t rotation_seconds] [-o background_opacity(0..255)] [-b blur_radius] -p image_folder -r
image_folder: where to search for images (.jpg files)-rfor recursive traversal ofimage_folder-sfor shuffle instead of random image rotation-Sfor sorted rotation (files ordered by name, first images then subfolders)rotation_seconds(default=30): time until next random image is chosen from the given folderbackground_opacity(default=150): opacity of the background filling image between 0 (black background) and 255blur_radius(default=20): blur radius of the background filling image
