Slideshow is a kiosk-style application for showing text, image and video in a continious loop on monitors and projectors. Content is edited and updated directly in using a webgui. The application is split into two packages, a backend and a frontend. The backend is written in C++ and OpenGL and the frontend using python. Currently the frontend is very GNU/Linux specific and will not run on any other platform but is meant to be as platform independent as possible, as long as it handles OpenGL.

• Webgui controls daemon, even starting and stopping.
• Slides consisting of either text, images or video.
• Custom themes for text-slides.
• Automatic aspect-correct resizing with ImageMagick.
• Natively loads most image formats, including but not limited to: BMP, JPEG, PNG, GIF, TGA.
• Hardware acceleration with OpenGL.
• Transition via plugin-based system (fade and spin builtin).
• Licensed under AGPLv3.
