Omertron's Media Player Site

Windows application that generates slideshows for all your photos stored on your NMT device, or accessible from your NMT device.

Updated: 2010-11-16: Version 1.2. For changelog, see below.

Features:

• It creates an HTML menu which shows all your folders which contains photos
• 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
• Or, you can use a playlist maintained by Music Jukebox for your background music
• Each folder can have it's own background music, or use the default background music.

Requirements:

• Microsoft Windows based PC
• Photo Jukebox installation files available here
• NMT Apps installed on the NMT (necessary for the shuffle/random displaying. Regular play works fine without it)
• Optionally, Music Jukebox for maintaining your playlists

Installation Instructions:

• Download the zip file
• Extract the zip file somewhere to your PC
• Use an editor to edit the photojukebox.cfg file, making sure the path to your photo's is specified correctly twice: once as seen from your PC, and once as seen as from your NMT device
• 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.
• Start the photo jukebox generator, by double clicking on photojukebox.exe
• On your NMT device, browse to the folder where the PhotoJukebox output files are stored, and start photos.html
