Image Magic: Python Powered Digital Photo Frame On Raspberry Pi
I was looking for a quick way to scan every photo on my media server, and display them one at a time in a photo slideshow. I wanted a python program to power my digital photo frame using a raspberry pi.
My hardware setup is a file share that is mapped from a Raspberry Pi. The software piece is a simple python script running from my CGI-Bin. The code is pasted below. It is a quick hack that I plan to optimize later, but I hope it helps you if you are in need of a solution.
#! /usr/bin/python
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
#DOCTYPE keeps inducing an error violating the CSS so it is commented out for now
#print("""<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
# "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">""")
import time
import os
from random import randint
photo_list = [] #List of all photo paths traversed by OS.WALK
display_list = [] #List of photos to be displayed (Currently only using one photo at a time)
for root, dirs, files in os.walk("/mnt/storage/Pictures/Universal_Trip_2017/"): #Traverse from the listed root directory
for file in files:
if file.endswith(".png") or file.endswith(".jpeg") or file.endswith(".jpg") or file.endswith(".JPG"): #The file types to add to the photo_list
# print(os.path.join(root, file)) #Debug for path checking
photo_list.append(os.path.join(root, file)) #Add the current path+photo to display_list
count = 0
while count < 1:
random_pic = randint(0,len(photo_list)-1)
display_list.append(photo_list[random_pic])
count = count + 1

#Print all images added to the display_list
for photo_path in display_list:

print("<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src=\"" + "/image_magic/" + photo_path[21:] + "\" alt=\"\" />")
