just before (or, for Australians and the like, after ;)) the end of 2009,
intrigued by the project of Peter Kirsch, using a Kodak digital Frame W1020
to display data from FHEM, can anyone suggest alternative "photo frames" or
the like?
I grabbed a Toshiba journE Air 801 from Amazon (8", 800x600, WiFi, battery;
should play audio, video; expected it to read that from RSS ...) but will
return it because of a severely broken firmware.
Using RSS would be one option, a real push to the photo frame (via open pro-
tocols) would be rather cool.
So, if anyone else uses these cool devices already to display information
that one pushes (indirectly via own RSS feed or directly by wget/curl or
$whatever_that_comes_with_sources) or know of such a device that is "hack-
able" with alternate firmwares, please speak up ;)
I intended to try to bring my WD TV Live to display static images or short
videos showing FHEM data on demand on my TV but figured that a separate,
always on (and automatically turning it's display off e. g. if the room
goes dark; a feature of the journE, unfortunately it goes dark only once
but forever :(), picture frame, connected via WLAN, would make much more
sense (and give a higher Woman's/Family's Appreciation Factor ;)).
All the best for 2010 to you,
kai

Hallo Kai,
I also used mediatomb for a while, but i had some problems with
damaged pictures,
for reasons I could not get fixed.
So I moved to the RSS feed after I got this working.
I also found a way to switch the frame off, but there seems to be no
way to turn it on over wlan.
all the best for 2010.

I've ignored these picture frame thingies until now (first generations
had, from my point of view, crappy displays, high prices and an awful
lack of features, like, e. g., WiFI or even a rechargeable battery),
but after your success with one started looking around ...
Hacking those boxes seems not to be as common as with e. g. WiFi routers,
but I found, among other, this summary:
http://www.machinegrid.com/2009/03/digital-picture-frame-hacking-roundup/
Unfortunately, picture frames seem to be gadgets that are only produced
for, say, 1 year, and one never knows if the follow-up product will be
usable in the same way. For example there seems to be a rather nice usage
on http://www.infolexikon.de/blog/samsung-spf-83v-info-system/ which bases
on the Samsung frame SPF-83V -- which is no longer in production :(
I'd really love to have Linux running on such a frame, as that most likely
would allow for some kind of interaction; RSS is nice, but pressing a
button to get e. g. more information or fetch context sensitive information
would be cool -- for that price. (I one, among other things, a Nokia N800;
doing a WLAN-Touchscreen-Frontend for my stuff is therefore simple. But
having multiple picture frames in the house, usable as frontends to FHEM
& Co. as well, all connected by WLAN, would be really cool. Thinking about
all displaying the caller's information when a call comes in, but for that
I'd need a more direct way of communication.)
