Switching between different slideshows
Posted: Fri Mar 03, 2017 10:32 am
we have a lot of different slideshows and need to switch on different events between them. we tried with controllss and with hotkeys in gphotoshowpro but its not possible, because gphotoshow always uses the multimonitor-setting of the show loaded before. so if we change from a show with 2 monitors and a grid of 3x2 on every monitor to a show with no grid, the grid still remains and vice versa. the only possibility for us was using batch-files which kills the old show and starts the new show like this:
@echo off
call :quiet>nul 2>&1
goto :EOF
:quiet
taskkill /f /im gPhotoShow.exe /T
start "" "C:\Program Files (x86)\gPhotoShow\gPhotoShow.exe" /s C:\SHOW\show1.gss
timeout /T 30 > nul
taskkill /f /im gPhotoShow.exe /T
start "" "C:\Program Files (x86)\gPhotoShow\gPhotoShow.exe" /s C:\SHOW\show2.gss
...
to further get rid of ugly command-windows we use vbscript like this:
Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject( "WScript.Shell" )
WshShell.Run "C:\SHOW\Scripts\Show.bat",0,True
for even more comfort we use Vectir-Server (vectir.com) to remote contol shows from nice iPad or iPhone controllers. (just start the .bat/.vbs)
So far our solution works fine, despite the problem, that between the shows we got ugly screen-flickering (killing task, starting new gphotoshow).
Is there any way to prevent this and to have switching shows more seemlessly with gphotoshowpro?
regards
