Intro:
I'm new to XBMC- started in the last few weeks, really- but have a fully working Core2Duo/Nvidia GPU machine as part of my tv system and it works great. I have also installed XBMC to an Intel Atom system I use to power a 17" digital photo frame, and this system is also functioning quite well (and never sleeps as the old os did!)
Both systems were installed with the XBMC Livecd installer which is very well done- and works well as a livecd too (but a hdd install is faster and easier to customize the os.)
I have no real problems with either system, but there is one thing I would like but have been unable to do:
the photo frame would ideally go into a slideshow automatically once it boots up.
I know my way around linux in general but I am not a programmer or all that great at scripting. I am very new to XBMC itself and I usually don't use Ubuntu either.
Any advice or suggestions, even if just to tell me that it isn't possible to autostart a slideshow, is appreciated.
