Post New Requests Here / REQUEST - Small program to show an image for a few seconds and then terminate
« on: September 24, 2023, 07:20 PM »
I think I posted this now in the wrong place so if this is posted twice I apologise

I have been trying to find a small program to simply display just one image centre screen for x no of seconds - settable if possible even in an ini file or something. Just needs to enter 2 parameters: the time to display and the name of the graphic file. Range is somewhere like 5 - 20 secs secs and then terminate and that's it.

I am in a volunteer organisation that has a PC that starts a program at startup but there is a bit of a delay and some people start clicking on icons. I will just call this from the startup folder to display a message like please wait or whatever graphic I make, and after the main program comes up, the graphic will just close down. I don't care what type of graphic is required but a JPeg would be fine or anything. I'll make the graphic as required.

I can find plenty of code ideas on line but not an actual program to simply do this.
Any help or pointing to something you know will do the trick wil be much appreciated.

Thank you
Wayne

Post New Requests Here / Seemingly simple media player request
« on: September 09, 2014, 06:39 AM »

I'm new posting so I hope I'm doing the right thing here.

I need a simple media player that will player a variety of video formats (MP4, M2ts, MKV, WMV, Mpg say) at various resolutions up to full HD but must play in full screen and on a second monitor.

The playlist can be simple drag and drop from explorer to keep things simple.

The tricky bit is to also be able to play a still (Tif, JPeg .....) after a video for either a fixed time or be triggered manually to then play the next video in the playlist which will then go to a still again and so on.  And have a keypress to go to black if required.

It's actually for a kids film making competition to present all the films seamlessly with a still in between each movie.

Is this a simple thing to do or can anyone point me to something that will do this. I have not been able to find anything to do it as most media players are for too complex and capable than is required and I can't fing one that diaplays stills.

Thank you for any help.
