We frequently set up a collection of 10 to 20 slides as a pre-show before our programming for 30 or so minutes using the Slideshow module. However, we encounter the slideshow limitation: once all the slides have been displayed once, the slideshow ends, regardless of the total duration set. To achieve our desired length, we duplicate and manually number the slides, which is quite cumbersome when looking to keep the same rotation order over and over.

PreShow 0.2.3 is now available for download.
The changelog includes:
- add: Added pastebin log posting
- add: Added new options for the command module, including number of loops, duration and time of day
- fix: Added genres, rating and resolution data for imdb trailers (Note this takes while to retrieve the trailer information)
- fix: Updated code to make sequences filter by date properly
- fix: Modified code to make linked python scripts work in action files
If you have an issue, you can now post your log directly into pastebin from the settings. You can open a QR code to get the link on your phone.
The command/loop module now has multiple options to control the loop, so that you can more accurately create longer preshows.
