Hello All,
I have a set up of raspberry pi 3 with raspbian operating system with kodi v16.1. I am trying to come up with a way to display all the videos I have in a directory (/home/pi/media) in a loop using kodi. My requirements are :
- I would like the video slideshow to start automatically when kodi is started using a script
- The slideshow should keep displaying all the videos in a particular directory in a loop and update itself if some content is added/removed from this directory (/home/pi/media)
Is there a step by step way that we could make this work? Perhaps there is a script/set up that can do this? Somebody else also must have stumbled upon this need. Perhaps I could get some hints/pointers to get there? Can this set up be created programmatically (assuming that the slideshow should run smoothly without having to intervene with keyboard/mouse)?
I would really appreciate any thoughts/help/ideas
Thank you so much!
