I have setup one of my rpi as a digital frame running openelec. I'm using the following autoexec.py python script to start the slideshow on boot. It doesn't seem to be random but its a start

Code:

import xbmc
xbmc.executebuiltin("SlideShow(/storage/pictures/)")

What I would like to be able to do is turn the screen off say between 10pm and 7am. I'm guessing a cron job might do the trick but I'm at a loss of how to code it. Any help would be great.

I think I can fix the random issue with

Code:

import xbmc
xbmc.executebuiltin("SlideShow(/storage/pictures/,recursive,random")

Screen off:

Code:

/usr/bin/vcgencmd display_power 0

Screen on:

Code:

/usr/bin/vcgencmd display_power 1
