Hey Guys
I've been set a task for work. We're trying to display an ever-changing set of photos throughout various locations on site, on various different devices at a number of different resolutions. All this is on a secured network so I don't have access to the usual photo sharing websites.
All the photos are uploaded stored on one server, and then fed out to the various displays via a web server and RSS feeds.
The images are usually 10Mpx or higher, which while great for physical reproduction, are wholly unnecessary and unusable by digital photo frames. To this end I've adapted a PHP script that resizes the images.
Every web browser, image program, etc... will read the images that have been modified by GD with PHP, apart from every digital photo frame I've tried!
Any ideas whether this one, running a more sophisticated OS will actually be able to read them?
Why not convert the images on the web server?
Yes, we can convert large images to small ones. But it consumes lots of memory and may be much slower than the approach of doing it on the web server.
How frequent is the feed refreshed?
I am already converting them with PHP as they are requested
I think my explanation was lacking a little - The links that the RSS feed provides to the frame are via a PHP script that resizes the images down to 800x600.
For example the RSS feed will contain links:
http://www.example.com/shrink.php/image.jpg
When visiting these links in a browser the images are displayed at 800x600 with no problems at all, yet all the frames I have currently tried fail to display the image at all
That is easy then
If you already have an iGala frame, simply input this feed to the frameit.live.com and use the iGala frame to display it. It works just fine as long as the PHP script returns an image file.
Please contact us if you have any issues displaying the feed.
Could you please email us?
We have forwarded this query to the technical team. Could you please send some contact information to sdk@aequitech.com. Thanks.
