+--- Thread: Trying to make a script to start slideshow (/showthread.php?tid=14306)
- enigma9o7 - 2005-08-16
i want a slideshow to automatically come up on bootup, so i need a script that does the slideshow and i'll add it to autoexec.py
here's what i tried:
Quote:import xbmc
xbmc.executebuiltin('xbmc.slideshow(f:\\media\\skins\\localpics )')
but it doesn't do anything. i can start a slideshow manually from my pictures no problem.

you know pushing the white button in myscripts will give you python errors.
can't relly see whats wrong
try changing ' to " ?
xbmc.executebuiltin("xbmc.slideshow(e:\\pictures)")

you have a space at the end of your path.
if removing that doesn't work, try adding \\ at the end.

thanks. removing the space and adding the \\ did the trick

xbmc.executebuiltin('xbmc.slideshow(f:\\media\\skins\\localpics\\')

push the white button on your controller
when
you are in the window where you can execute python scripts.
if you do that you will get a python debug logg.
any errors are displayed there

can you add music to it too, please?
so i can start the script, then the slideshow and predefined music (pls or folder) starts.

there's a startup_playlist.py script that i downloaded, it does the music. it's on the script website.
