Super Best Frame

This is a picture frame slideshow for running on linux systems that is connected to a display/monitor. These linux systems may include Raspian, Ubuntu, Mint, or even WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux). The image slideshow is displayed on a connected display, monitor, or projector in either horizontal (landscape) or vertical (portrait) orientation.

You can then control the picture frame slideshow's behavior using a simple browser based web interface of the local network at port 5555. That is, you can access this web interface with http://<IP Address of Picture Frame Host>:55555

Very Basically ...

1. You run this on a computer that is connected to a monitor, display, or projector.
2. You will then be able to control the shown images on the monitor using a website that you can access with a computer, phone, or tablet.
3. You can access this website as long as you are on your local or home network.
