Anyone got any ideas about how to make a slideshow/video loop from a folder of images (.jpgs)?

Maybe using pix_multiimage? Can this play hundreds of images continuously and fast? (ie 10fps)

If images were added to the folder, could this loop be self-updating?

Any suggestions would be wicked...

hello, you can try the 'playlist' object from 'unauthorized', this object allow to visually choose files in a directory or seek them with a number box.
unauthorized : http://ydegoyon.free.fr/software.html
playlist (for linux) : http://ydegoyon.free.fr/playlist.tar.gz

Yes, Playlist is a good choice if you do not want to name your images a generic image_n.jpg. It's nice because it allows you to cycle through the contents of the directory with simple messages.

I use it to run through my video directory, but it would easily work for photos as well.

does anyone know of something similar under win?

hello eM
mmm no i don't think [playlist] have an equivalent on win... (i maybe wrong as i don't know very well pd on win...)
but even if you cannot use playlist you can work with [makefilename] and [makesymbol] (objects that allow to build filenames dynamically), which are parts of the zexy external
