Users should add ideas and feature requests to this list.

If you have a feature request and you see it's already in the ToDo list add it any way, this way the developer(s) will know which features should be prioritized. Add your name and a link to your wiki-profile page to the request, that way it's easy for the developer(s) to contact you if something is unclear.

  • Change the syntax of slideshow file

    Change to a more standardized, more flexible and more human-readable syntax. I think XML would be a real good candidate for this purpose.

  • Parse the grammar of the input file at the beginning of the run. It is frustrating to wait twenty minutes to see the script fail because you have mistyped a semi-colon... Arek' Fu
  • Lay a picture over the slideshow Use cases:
    • Easier custom menu creation (overlay static menu part over slideshow video)
    • HUD so video can appear from inside race car, etc
    • Opaque watermark (as opposed to a translucent one that is blended with the picture)
  • Automatic time-per-picture based on mp3/ac3 song length (song length / number of pics)
  • Controlling the volume of a track
  • Move the config file into ~/.config/dvd-slideshow/dvd-slideshowrc
  • more than 1 possilbe langauge for subtitles

ToDo

  • Move the examples from /opt to /usr/share, that will be more appropriate.

dvd-slideshow

  • more transitions ?
  • fuzzy edges effect?
  • old-picture effect?
  • sepiatone effect?
  • B&W effect? (or should we have these effects done before?)
  • add image overlay function to overlay same image (logo or text?) on each image
  • add text overlay function to overlay text on next image.
  • developer notes summarizing the crop/zoom kenburns effect stuff
  • different background types? (gradient, etc)
  • bi-linear interpolation for kenburns effect.
  • kenburns with rotation
  • wrap text on titles
  • allow user to pass mpeg, but then we need to resample them! (use tovid?)
  • chapter selection menus?
  • text: keyword for overlaying text anywhere on the screen this would use the same keywords as the kenburns effect.

dir2slideshow

  • Extract exif comment and use as sub-title text. Command to do this: extract -g -p comment somefile.jpg
  • Add '* )' at the end of the case statement that parses the input params. As it is now, if an invalid param is supplied, it produces the incorrect error message "Input directory is not a real directory:". It should produce an error such as "invalid param" or display the generic help.

dvd-menu

  • setup menu with subtitle selection and/or credits, audio setup, etc.
  • more text control: font size and color, placement, etc.
  • variable non-button text on the main menu.

Examples

  • Examples using other GUIs?
  • text-file input for menus
  • allow sub-menus.

Other

  • explain pixel aspect ratio resizing.
  • explain acceleration on kenburns
