Pi slideshow auto pick up new photos
#1
Hi
I have a slideshow running on a pi. It shows pictures from a specified directory. If I add new pictures to the directory those new pictures aren't picked up until I restart the slide show. Without separately monitoring the folder, killing kodi and restarting in a script, is there an alterative way of getting the pictures picked upHuh
Thanks
John

Hi,

I am running into the exact same issue. Has anyone figured out a way to solve this?

Looks like no one has commented here in a while.

I hope somebody knows how to do this.

Thanks

This isn't the best place to report this - it's a kodi feature request rather than a Pi specific request.

Some threads where this is mentioned:

I'm not sure if there is a better solution that restarting kodi periodically from a cron job.
