i don't know why but flickr doesn't work very well, sometimes works but
sometimes not.

I would like to try this. Where would you put the playlist? Is only
Flickr or Facebook supported. Can you put it on your web server? How
would you point SB Touch to the playlist?

Thanks

Ah, thank you! I wasn't aware of this; it's more or less what I was
asking for.

I'll try it at some point as I get more familiar with plugins on the
Touch.
It's great to see it under development (along with lots
of other cool plugins, no doubt).

If you have a web server then you can create your own "playlists" too. Just 
make it return a list of urls to those files. See eg.

If you use a standalone SBS on a computer, you can also use Michael's
new Picture Gallery plugin that will make all pictures on the computer
available on the Touch.

Yes, I am using an SD card right now. I could also attach
a USB drive with all my photos (50GB), or pay for a really
large SD card. It's really a minor quibble,
but I am using wifi to access my music, and don't want a large
and (at least occasionally) noisy HD sitting next to my Touch.
I just thought it would be a simple hack to allow the image
viewer to browse network shares. May be I am wrong about that.

Besides the flickr or Facebook that John mentioned, why not use a USB
drive or SD card for the digital photos? I pull my photos from an SD
card and I like it even better than Erland's daylight clock
screensaver.

The Touch doesn't seem to have the drivers to connect to a windows
share, but it CAN view pictures from flickr or facebook. So you can put
your pictures on flickr and the Touch can display them.

[SlimDevices: Touch] image viewer access to network disk?

2010-04-16 Thread ulvi

As far as I can figure out, Touch's image viewer
cannot access any directories other than on the local
disk (or memory card) attached to the device.
Did anyone discover a way to get around this?

Seeing that the screen looks much better than I thought
it would (actually I am impressed with the overall aesthetic
design of the Touch quite a bit; it's a definite step up
from SB3), I am wondering how hard could it be to give
the image viewer access to any disc on the WiFi network.
Surely not that hard? It would be nice to have it function
as a digital picture frame when not playing music.
