This is a VERY early peek at the new UI...it's not styled or finalized in any way. We also have work going on for pi5/bootstrap OS updates, and currently in beta is yet another performance update from Bdlou.

Hello Patreons, while I've been quiet here a TON is going on behind the scenes, and we're completing the release process for the next update. This update will be a 'code only' update, so you'll want the previous full release if you don't have it yet and then we'll have a store code to get y...

2023-11-19 09:00:24 +0000 UTC View PostThe plugin release is going through the review paces and more progress has been made. Next up is a beta release, and then a few days later a full release with a full image for November.
Meanwhile I'm running through developing plugins or testing plugins to ensure that developers will...
This video is a demo of the scheduler, and the second plugin style which I call 'startup' plugins. Startup plugins start with Dynaframe and run alongside Dynaframe, whereas the content plugins are only called when new content is requested (playlist updates essentially).

I just added a ton of content to the store, and tried to cover a bunch of different tastes. Of course there's geeky superhero and star wars (in the style of DaVinci) artwork, but also I added over 180 images from classic artists such as Rembrandt, Seguy, Monet, Renoir, Van Gogh and more! If...

I realized today not everyone may be familiar with AtmosFX. It's a company that makes what they call digital decorations, which are videos that can be projected or shown on displays. One thing that's really nice is you can buy a pack, but you can also pick them up as individual scenes...

This was a request when Dynaframe pro first started, and it's something that I've wanted to do since then and have taken a few attempts at it, but never was happy with how it was being implemented. The request was simple..."I want the screen on the frame to be able to turn on at a certain t...
2023-10-11 09:39:31 +0000 UTC View PostThis was requested so I threw together a quick tutorial of how I use home assistant 'scenes' via node red to control Dynaframe. I can redo this if it's not clear or based on feedback, and hope to do a more formal one soon, but I wanted to unblock those that have been asking for how to contr...

So quick but fun update today...we have 2 image packs added to the store...one for "fun" images which include some anime, cartoon and slightly creepy but fun designs for the Halloween season. I also created a pack that went as scary as I could create using some AI tools. These are eas...

2023-09-05 01:15:55 +0000 UTC View PostNote: this update is a bit 'developer focused'. If it sounds very technical, it's not our normal style of updates, but the audience are developers that will want to extend Dynaframe in the near future.
