Hi All
I have a Synology NAS, Raspberry Pi, OPENELEC 5..0.8 and Kodi 14.2 and am trying to set up a screensaver and/or a slideshow. The problem is that in addition to all the jpg files that I want to use Synology PhotoStation automatically makes 5-6 thumbnails for each .jpg file and assigns them the name SYNOPHOTO_THUMB_PREVIEW or SYNOPHOTO_THUMB_XL, or SYNOPHOTO_THUMB_S etc etc.
I have tried using advanced settings;
Made a file called advancedsettings.xml in .kodi-userdata-advancedsettings.xml with the following code and all sorts of variations but it doesn't seem to work
<advancedsettings>
<pictureexcludes>
<regexp>[!-._ \\/]SYNOPHOTO_THUMB_PREVIEW[-._ \\/]</regexp>
<regexp>[!-._ \\/]SYNOPHOTO_THUMB_B[-._ \\/]</regexp>
<regexp>[!-._ \\/]SYNOPHOTO_THUMB_XL[-._ \\/]</regexp>
<regexp>[!-._ \\/]SYNOPHOTO_THUMB_S[-._ \\/]</regexp>
</pictureexcludes>
</advancedsettings>
I re-boot after every change, I have selected indexing on and off and still it doesn't work. I have tried using Picture Slideshow Screensaver and Multi Slideshow Screensaver but still no luck - I still get a combination of standard jpg (good) and SYNOPHOTO (bad!)
I don't really want to stop the Synology generating these THUMBS as they are useful in other applications.
Can anyone provide any guidance or even an alternative way of achieving my aim which is to produce a slideshow and or screensaver without the annoying SYNOPHOTOS
