Hi Guys,
I very much like my cartoons everyday and I thought it would be a
perfect thing to have my cartoons brought to my tv everyday without any
hassles. Seeing as I have a working freevo system up and running on my
tv I decided that this would be the perfect view method. I used the
program dailystrips (http://dailystrips.sourceforge.net/) to get my
favourite cartoons eveyday and put it in a folder which I setup as a
picture folder on my freevo.
Here is how you do it :
1. Create your own cartoons folder : mkdir /pictures/cartoons
2. Edit your local_conf.py to point to your picture folder :
DIR_IMAGES = [ ('Cartoons', '/pictures/cartoons'), ... ]
3. After you have installed dailycartoons use dailycartoons -list to get
a list of all available cartoons.
4. Create a script called getcartoons containing the following :
# -- start of script
#!/bin/sh
# get my fav cartoons
dailystrips --local -stripdir -save -basedir /pictures/cartoons \
dilbert garfield thefifthwave
# -- end of script
and put a link to it in your cron.daily
Works like a charm for me. Dailystrips will put all the cartoons in
their own respective directory and you can navigate it via the freevo
interface. Keep in mind that if you are using your freevo system with a
tv then it does make reading some of the cartoons (if the text is small)
to read, but I think there is a zooming capability for your pics in
freevo ?
Anybody else have some cool freevo tips they would like to share ?
Tom
