Network buffer time? #25

Closed iJeffG closed 4 years ago

iJeffG commented 4 years ago

I have 750Gb of pictures on an NAS. I have one parent folder, and then 30 “year” folders beneath it. In each “year” folder, there are sub folders by event, and those are where photos reside. I am creating a digital frame with RPi4 8Gb.

I mounted my NAS “parent folder” to a folder under home/pi/FamilyPhotos. I use this folder as the default in PictureFrame2020Config.py. When I start P3d, it seems OK, but after 10 minutes, no images begin to rotate.

When I change the default path to one of the “years”, it takes a couple minutes, but then that folders images begin to be cycled through.

Any way to change/configure so this can handle larger folder structures? Thoughts on what I could be doing wrong? NFS mounted, Gb WiFi router, and both RPi4 and NAS are on the same network inside the house

@iJeffG this is something I've tried to fix recently. https://github.com/pi3d/pi3d_demos/issues/23 but at the moment it's only in the develop branch. I will try running it on different Raspberry Pis then push the changes to master. (I held off because I'm also trying to get heic images working too)

Thanks, Paddywwoof. Any recommendations for how I could alleviate this? If I put a few pictures in the root of this folder structure, would it pop a picture up while getting initialized? Not asking you to fix it, but any thoughts on how I could improve my implementation would be appreciated

iJeffG, this should be fixed now in the master branch https://github.com/pi3d/pi3d_demos/blob/master/PictureFrame2020.py. You will need the new version of config https://github.com/pi3d/pi3d_demos/blob/master/PictureFrame2020config.py as well as that includes the --delay_exif option (which now defaults to True). If you've modified either of those files you need to keep a copy then transfer any mods over manually.

Let me know how you get on.

Awesome. I will let you know
