Purpose
This project was part of a larger project to create a weather news channel content. It aimed to start the program at bootup unattended and run a looping slideshow from given media. The loop must complete by something divisible by 1 hour. It should display each media for a given amount of time set manually. Videos must play with sound on from start. Don’t loop the videos. Include animations like fade. Automatically install new media from a given folder. Run the slideshow on screen 2 fullscreen with controls on screen 1. Have up to 5 wheels (content being displayed in specific areas of the screen), each with separate media files and slideshow. Display the current system time.
