slideshow script

· toad's blog


In 2019 I wrote a script to a raspberry pi that would play images in a folder in a slideshow on boot.

It worked great!

I have a need to do that again but I never backed up that script. I just plugged the Pi in and it still works :D

Here's the script...

1#!/bin/bash
2fbi -noverbose -a -t 5 /home/pi/img/*

That's it.

I'm sure I set up the script to auto execute though so I guess I should figure that out.

Alright a quick search for a 'raspberry pi fbi' I think pulled up the exact article I used

Will try to re-create this on a fresh Pi and install while keeping the existing one in place.
