Audio playback during slide show

Anthias
1

Hi,

I am trying to play a playlist of only images with background music. I have tried many ways of doing this, but once the HDMI port is being used I can’t get another program to access it for audio only. I don’t want to use the 3.5mm jack because I would need to mux the audio after the rpi device. I was thinking I could use omx, streamlink or vlc to loop an mp3 file with the video slideshow. Does OSE use vlc in the background? I was thinking there is a switch or flag to allow audio from another program source. I don’t know much of how it all works in OSE. It seems so simple, but if it was someone would have implemented in the OSE version by now. I guess…

@lightyear22,

  • Playing background images when a playlist of image assets plays is not supported at the moment.
  • Anthias/OSE uses VLC to play video assets, while it uses Qt for playing image assets.

However, open-source contributions are always welcome.

Thanks! I’m not a programmer. I will try some stuff. :slight_smile:
