Publisher Description
Java picture frame displays pictures as a slideshow and also includes the capability to retrieve files efficiently from a remote mounted NFS directory and/or an email account using POP3 or IMAP protocols.
PictureFrame is a lightweight Java library and application that allows you to display a slideshow on a homemade digital picture frame. Requires a home brew picture frame that has Java installed on it. I built two such picture frames for my in-laws and parents. Installed Fedora Core linux on them, added a wireless PCMIA card, and am now able to e-mail or just copy pictures to the frames.
Features include:
- Slide show
- Highly configurable
- Full screen mode
- Automatically pull files from remote host (with help from NFS and OpenVPN)
- Automatically pull files off e-mail via IMAP or POP3
- Automatically combines pictures side-by-side or top-above-bottom to match screen aspect ratio
- It can be run from the command line or embedded in another Java application. Here's the command line arguments:
