I'm trying to find a cheap way to convert a HDMI connected TV into a giant picture frame. One of the options I'm exploring is to use a DVD player. Here's a couple of things that I would need for the DVD player to have:
- ability to play slideshow from subfolders (ie: select one folder and it plays images from all subfolders inside that folder) - large file limit (I have thousands of pictures) - preferably USB support since fitting all my pictures on a DVD (even double layer) is iffy - HDMI output (since it's not worth running new cables) - decent transitions between pictures - customization of how long a picture stays up
If anyone knows of any DVD player that would fit the above requirements please let me know. Or if you have any other suggestions on how to turn an HDMI TV into a giant picture frame without spending a fortune please let me know too.
