This is a slideshow I've created to accommodates my needs in my various TouchDesigner projects.
- Works with videos and images
- Preloads images to minimize impact on the application
- Choice of 5 types of transition
- Automatically adds new content added to your slideshow folder
- Slave mode that enables you to link multiple slideshow together
- Bar in the UI shows the progression of the loading process
- Make sure there's no special character in the path or file name. If so, you'll get an error and the loading will get stuck in the UI.
- To fix this, rename or remove the badly named files and click on the Reset parameter
- Import the .tox
- Connect a
