My pictures slide show as a music visualization

[rcrh]

i really like the update to my pictures & the slide shows in there; particularly the random ordering & the new transitions.

great job guys!

i like to queue up a bunch of music and then start a slide show. i'm wondering if there is anyway to set up a key on the remote to start a random slide show from my pictures without having to navigate back from the music playlist screen, to the main menu, and then into my pictures?

it would make it the equivilent of any new visualization option.

thanks,
richard

no one have any thoughts on this? could it be done with a python script that could be mapped to a key on the remote?

am i wasting my time with this idea?

thanks
richard.

no. there is just currently no way to do it as far as i'm aware.

you can grab a particular window (such as the slideshow window) from within python, but i'm not sure if you can feed it the directory to play pics from or not.

it will be added in time - don't worry.
