Updated: 2011-11-07: Version 1.4.1. For changelog, see below.

Features:

  • It creates an HTML menu which shows all your folders which contains photos
  • When you select a folder, a preview thumbnail is shown for the first (or last) photo in that folder
  • For each folder, you can start a slideshow in regular order, or in random order
  • Each slideshow contains the photos from the selected folder, and it’s subfolders
  • You can use your own music to play in the background while viewing the slideshow

  • Each folder can have it’s own background music, or use the default background music.

  • Also specify the output folder twice: once as seen from your PC, and once as seen from your NMT device.
  • (the photojukebox.cfg file contains some helpful hints)
  • Browse through the photojukebox.cfg to change other settings to your liking, and save it.
