It may depend on specific TV brand and model that you own. For example, my Philips branded HDTV can play a slideshow of images (optionally with mp3 music in the background!) based on an XML definition which was documented in the TV manual.
[gentoo-user] slideshow on USB stick
Is it possible to create slide show (pictures) on USB stick and play on a TV? In the past I've used dvd-slideshow but that is a bit of work. I had to re-size the pictures add background music etc. DVD only holds 4GB USB sticks have larger capacity. -- Joseph
Re: [gentoo-user] slideshow on USB stick
All dvd-slideshow and co. do is to resize images (that's a one liner with imagemagick's convert tool) and then join them to compose a video file, muxing it with the chosen audio tracks. You can easily do that with ffmpeg, mencoder or some similar tool of your choice if the menu-driven program doesn't let you bypass the dvd size limit. A video file is the most universal format you can get, unless you want to relly on the tv native player capabilities to do a slideshow, which would also be just fine since any tv that has an usb port can for sure do slideshows as well. 2012/12/19 Joseph syscon...@gmail.com Is it possible to create slide show (pictures) on USB stick and play on a TV?
