Pi + archlinux-arm + wordpress + foyer tutorial #57

Open boschkundendienst opened 4 years ago

Hi Devs,

just here to let you know that I created a github project using Foyer on a RaspberryPi based on archlinux-arm (very small footprint) with a full Howto from zero to Wordpress with Foyer with easy usable setup scripts.

https://github.com/boschkundendienst/raspisignage

Even the entire Howto is in english I also created an end-user documentation in german in the subfolder documentation_DE within the above project.

Thanks for your cool project and work!

P.S. Is there a way to turn of video preview when creating a slide, this would save a lot of resources!

Cool, thanks for sharing! How is video playback with this OS build? And what about the slide transitions?

Curious to know if YouTube and uploaded/external MP4 play without problems in this scenario, and if slide transitions are smooth. All were choppy in my own Pi (3B) attempts, as noted in the FAQ: https://wordpress.org/plugins/foyer/#can%20i%20use%20a%20raspberry%20pi%20mini-computer%20for%20my%20digital%20sign%3F

PS. There is currently no way to disable the video preview when creating a slide, unless you resort to some Javascript hacking yourself :-)

Video playback works quite well on a Pi4. Also the slide transitions are ok but I usually leave them off.

I found my own way for video playback, I do it with cron jobs without wp-foyer using omxplayer and youtube-dl e.g.

omxplayer $(youtube-dl -f mp4 -g 'youtube-url')

There is currently no way to disable the video preview when creating a slide, unless you resort to some Javascript hacking yourself :-)

I would be very interested in that piece of code which possibly could be added as CSS to wordpress customizer?
