.bmp, .gif, .gls, .jpg, .jpeg, .png, .pcx, .svg, .webp
Effects include a pan scan zoom aka the
'ken burns' effect plus fade in and crossfade.
Special support for .mp3 this will extract the
cover art from a mp3 and display it if present
and .gls aka shadertoy webgl shaders.
See https://www.shadertoy.com/ for more info.
slideshow.exe "path to file or folder"
slideshow.exe "path to file or folder" fullscreen
if no file or path is specified the current dir will be scanned for an image
if the folder has subfolder(s) these will be scanned for images as well
or specify a path via confconf.ini
generate .m3u: slideshow "path to file or folder" "tag" "tagquery"
example: slideshow.exe g:datamp3classic artist beethoven
generates the m3u file beethoven.m3u
which then can be played by slideshow.exe beethoven.m3u\
- simple search so 195 is equivelant of ?195? or 195\
- runtime in seconds is not calculated default is #EXTINF:134\
- no explicit wildcard support, only searchs on one tag\
- supported tags artist, title, album, genre and year
