I figured out the screensaver possibilities, but i have 10.000+ pictures in many different folders, no way we can see them all this way, plus you can't pick a certain subject to watch.

I'll try to see if i can do something for a photo viewer, maybe i'll learn something while doing this

Sounds good, all i need now is a "experienced dev" with 2 days of time :p

It's really a big thing in my house, home video's and pictures are always looked at, but if you can't see them full screen, what's the use? My wife can't even see the thumbnails now on our 65" tv.
(I know you can go full screen, but it's too many button pushes for my wife and kids, and with folders of 100's of pictures, very annoying)

I would want this even if not owning a phone with android, especially since these little boards seem to be able to run android.....

Mini2440 with android and linuxmce, count me in. I'm seeing a lot of possibilities

« on: October 22, 2009, 02:11:57 am »

Hey, the button "Play All" when you are in a folder with pictures, doesn't do anything, is this supposed to work?

I thought it would start a slideshow of all pictures in that folder full screen, something my wife 'needs'

If there is nothing in place for this, what would it take to make this happen?

Would be nice to have a slideshow with a few buttons for 'next' and/or previous picture, maybe later even a zoom function or something, not looking for anything fancy, just a slideshow.

I've seen some old post about this and i kinda "assumed" it was already integrated.........

Users / use dvr card audio input as trigger

« on: September 26, 2009, 08:02:16 pm »

some dvr cards have an audio in for multiple locations.... could this be used to trigger an event?

Not looking for full voice control, but just.... if there is a sound coming in ------> do this.
I'm looking at this from a security standpoint, probably triggering all lights to come on and emailing/texting/calling my phone when it happens.

Is this already possible in the current setup, if so where do i look to set this up...

Thanks,

Richard

Users / Re: What do I need two NICs for?

« on: September 22, 2009, 05:37:51 pm »

Basically your core will take over your routers function, it will be the dhcp handler and handle firewall for you, everything can be connected via a switch and/or AP to the internal NIC of the core. The core is supposed to be always on. Your core is and will be the gateway to your in house network.

This way you can still get to all your data/media/etc... on your network, you will not loose any of that functionality.

Installation issues / Re: USB UIRT is not installing correctly (Solved)

« on: August 31, 2009, 09:10:39 am »

I did update my core before manually installing.

Let me say this though, you should not have to manually install this usbuirt, it should just be pnp.

Honestly i think my setup is borked because of me trying stuff, i will re-install as soon as the DVD install is available, or maybe sooner.

you mean you are trying to install the core/hybrid on one of these Zotac boards?

I think these are more suitable for an MD.

I have no problems with this Zotac board as an MD with linuxmce.

I've had this too, and a reboot of the MD fixed it, every time.
