Supporting Actress 1936-2022 Oscars Best Supporting Actress Winners for the years 1936-2022 Data was obtained from oscars.org and photos from tmdb.org File Information Submitter starslayer74 Submitted 12/13/2023 Category Trivia View File

Just tried changing to a 16:9 format. 1380x776 2SupportingActor1936_1380x776.webp

That is what the issue is.

That is odd.... I'm in the free version and it shows my save options as this: So I assumed that my image was 1380x760. Edit: I just checked the images I uploaded to the forum, and they are showing 1380x760 on my computer. Maybe the forum re-sized them to fit in the message?

I'm getting ready to fully generate my Oscar slides. My version of Canva (free) is limited to generate at 1380x760 but I am considering upgrading to save them at a higher resolution. I'm not sure what resolution to save at, so I wanted to get some input on that. Also, since this has been a labor of love, I am considering using an online file resizer for free but I wasn't sure about quality of that vs exporting them from Canva at the higher resolution.... All total we're looking at approximately 500 slides covering Best Actor, Best Actress, Supporting Actor, Supporting Actress, and Best picture winners from the very first Oscars to 2022. I attached some examples (using dummy data on the example because I was working on mock-ups) My next project is going to be movie quotes slides but I'm struggling determining how to format those. Also a word of caution for anyone who wants to create slides: DON'T TRUST WIKIPEDIA OR AI - Neither one of them provided accurate information for Oscars data. I was cross checking my AI generated data and discovered HUGE glaring issues including years, winners names, etc. I ended up going straight to the Oscars website to get accurate information, even though it required more manual work on my side.

I have some slides I want to make, specifically Oscar related. I have the data with the names, years, etc.... links to the posters and actor images from TMDB, and I have a background. Now I'm struggling with finding a way to bulk create the slides so they can all have text/photos in the same spots and sizes.... I tried canva but it looks like I would need to download and resize every photo or poster manually first, I was hoping there was some way to do a bulk import and have it pull down the images. I did find another site that would let me do that but their pricing was a little high for my tastes..... does anyone have any suggestions?

This helped immensely! I appreciate the assistance, I've got it up and running and yes, now I've got some other ideas too 🙂

Ok, I have it up and running. I can turn the bulbs on and off, and change colors/brightness in the Home Assistant dashboard.... I am clay in your hands 🙂

I really appreciate that. I'm going to build a little HA server on an old Raspberry PI and I'll report back when I have it up and running. Thank you for the assistance!

Assuming I could get the lights to talk to Home Assistant, is there a way to trigger it using HA commands in Preshow Experience?

@MattI just wanted to check back in on this to see if you had any other ideas?

Mostly I use Alexa but it's connected through the Tuya Smart Life app.

I just gave it a go, ran into a few issues: 1. I'm not sure what to put in for Region Key Here is a screenshot of the error I got:

It's called Art or Fart. We release one episode a month, just getting off the ground but we're trying to increase our production values and I feel like each episode gets a little better.

Actually, I didn't classify either one as terrible either. But I guess a more accurate description is that we watch what would be considered "B" movies and then classify them as either Good or terrible. I loved Sleepaway Camp, House was decent..... and Monster in The Closet was just dreadful. .... dang I should have just said "Listen to the podcast to find out" 🙂

I actually am on a podcast where we watch "terrible" horror movies. We just finished up Monster in the Closet, House, and Sleepaway Camp. We are getting ready to start Sorority Babes at the Slimeball Bowl-A_Rama Cannibal Women in the Avocado Jungle of Death and Slave Girls From Beyond Infinity

I actually did get that part set up, I was playing with Home Assistant like someone suggested, so I do have an API key and Client ID. I experienced some other Home Assistant issues so I don't think I'm going to be using that, but I would love to try out anything else you suggest.

As a follow up, I found this: https://github.com/Octoober/tuya-bulb-control Also, maybe it would make sense to build in IFTTT functionality? It works with lots of different systems. I'm not sure if that would make things easier or not from a development standpoint.

I'm looking to see if there is a way to pick from specific bumper folders for some bumpers, based on the film metadata.... for instance, I have a theater intro that is themed to look like an 80's VHS style.... I would like that to automatically run if I pick an 80's movie..... for a 1920's movie, I have a "classic hollywood" style theater intro, that I would like it to run. I know I can set up separate preroll profiles, but I would ideally like it to be a little "smarter" and beable to set some bumpers based on the metadata, to make the experience more immersive.

They are generic bulbs that use the Tuya/Smart Life app to control (works with Alexa and Google Home)
