My photo collections are mainly made of 4:3 landscapes and fews 3:4 portraits. I wish to view them on a 16:9 screen using Kodi (v.17.6 on Raspberry Pi). I hate black borders, so I wish to manually choose the zoom and pan of each shot and then activate the slideshow.
The preferred solution can be:
1) View each image, zoom and pan as required, press an hotkey to save the current viewport into an SQLite database (preferably into the same folder of the photos, so that it can be shared, or into the Kodi database).
2) When the slideshow is activated, if the Ken Burns effect is disabled, use the preferred viewport from the SQLite db for each picture.
One alternative can be to have a slideshow based on a m3u-like list, so we can combine images from different folders, specify a custom viewport and time for each image.
Another alternative: is it possible to use an external program for the slideshow? I found this program which does nearly perfect what I need: https://github.com/danboid/shufti
