EyeCandy and out-of-memory
-
By all means, do what you will with it, and most of all, have fun! :-)
-
Also have to remember that the pi is limited in just about every way…
-
Especially remember that electron and gifs are really a bad combination especially on the raspeberry pi since it does not use hardware acelleration :unamused_face:
-
I had thought about using an intervalTimer which showed a list of images in succession, but I think that would be worse than a GIF for the Raspi. :zipper-mouth_face:
-
@chef i have been using MMM-ImagesPhotos or MMM-ImageSlideshow and don’t see the out of memory issue… don’t have any gifs in the image list tho
-
When you directly display MM2 on your raspberrypi you could do an overlay with omxplayer. it supports hardware acceleration which makes it run really smooth with gifs
-
@maxbachmann that’s a really great idea. I noticed that is how some of the Security Camera MM2 modules work.
-
np had the same problem and figured I could solve it that way ;)
