Good question! I'll start of with the basics/functions.
Basics
- Playlist that works with pictures and videos. (not randomized slideshow of a folder, but actual playlist)
- Option to play music when pictures are on the screen
- Playlists can be auto generated based on folder
- Length of time to display photos option
- Number of photos/songs played before a video is played.
Advanced Functions
- Folder monitoring for new pictures
- Auto Generate new playlist // insert new pictures near the front of the current playlist to play next
Super Advanced Features
- Mailbox monitoring to auto download pictures/subject to a folder (a few functions I found already can do this)
- Facebook // Twitter // Instagram monitoring to download pictures/message to a folder
- Display message with picture + source, from who, etc
Super Super Advanced Feature
- Play music over a personal video, but not a music video, for seamless music playing (somehow use a different audio stream while playing a video!!)
What's the point?
- My daughter's first birthday party! I want to create a playlist of videos and pictures of her first year to play on the tv while guests are over. I want music to play with the pictures and people to enjoy the home videos too
- I want people to participate! Guests can take pictures and have them show up on screen with their messages!
- I also get to keep the pictures for memories. The interactivity may encourage people to take more and better pictures!
- I could be in the pictures instead of taking them all
- People can participate remotely by wishing my daughter happy birthday
Who else might use it?
- Vendors at trade shows! Comic con vendors could get people to take pictures with their merchandise than have it on display while showing off their content for example.
- People at weddings!
- People at engagement/bachelor type parties
- Potential screensaver option that plays pictures and silent videos
I can help with programming but I need help integrating some of the core features. Let me know what you think!
