Meural II has very basic controls (too simple)
Note
- we only use our own images organized into our own playlists
- we have 3 frames all in Portrait organised as a Triptych
also:
- it ignores order of items in a playlist (a bug), so although we have a specific playlists on each frame with specificlaly ordered images (a la Triptych) they play out of sequence
- Can’t look at a list of available images and select one
It has a local REST API that is sufficient options for the level of control I would like:
Local Web ServerNetgear refers to a ‘remote controller’ in their Meural support documentation: The available calls in this javascript are: |
So what do we want of this application:
- Assumptions:
- All of our own images loaded up to each frame are available locally (so we can thumbnail and display then in the local application)
- Requirements wishlist
- Can poll each frame to check it is available and it’s IP for further communication
- Can switch galleries
- Can select an individual image and display it (Note to self: probably requires a gallery to be active that contains that image?)
- Can setup to automatically slideshow images across all three frames (for our triptych galleries)
- Is a locally hosted web application so we can use any device that has a browser to access the application
- Ranking of images by different user
- Mirror whats currently on the frames
