I am trying to use XBMC/openelec (intel build) for a digital photo/media frame.
I want the slideshow viewer to start on boot to show both pictures and short home videos. The slideshow viewer works quite well to show both the pictures and the videos when I start it manually. However when I start the slideshow viewer with a script only the pictures turn up.
I put a autoexec.py file under the userdata catalog.
This is the script I use:
import xbmc
xbmc.executebuiltin("SlideShow(/storage/pictures/slideshow/)")
(the slideshow catalogue contains both pictures and videos.)
Another method to start the slideshow is this:
Install a skin.
Then put the following line into the file in "/storage/.xbmc/addons/skin.transparency/720p/Startup.xml":
<window>
<onload>SlideShow(/storage/pictures/ur_image_folder)</onload>
</window>
The results are the same. Only pictures shows up.
I have of course selected the "Show video files in listings" box
Can someone please suggest a solution to this problem? I have been struggling to get it working for half a day...
