Step 2: Add pictures.
Step 3: say, "HiroTV:reset"

-------------------------

2. COMMANDS

NOTE: All commands are case sensitive

HiroTVetname
--------
Changes the name your HiroTV responds to. This is useful if you have more than one up in a room.
For example -
HiroTVetname:MyTV
changes the name to "MyTV". All commands now will begin with "MyTV" instead of "HiroTV".

GetHiroTVName
--------
If you've forgotten the name of your HiroTV, you can use this command and any HiroTV in range that you
own will tell you its name.

HiroTVetcolor
--------
Changes the color of the floating text, using 0-255 values for Red, Green, and Blue.
Example -
HiroTVetcolor:255,255,255
changes the floating text to white.
HiroTVetcolor:255,0,255
changes the floating text to magenta
HiroTVetcolor:-1
turns off the floating text. You can turn it on again by simply doing the setcolor command with what color you want.

HiroTVettimer
--------
Changes how many seconds between change of picture
Example -
HiroTVettimer:10
changes the time between display to 10 seconds

Is this the same thing thats in those avalon phones?

Sorta kinda. But:
(a) You can use it in any prim, not just a tiny screen.
(b) It's freeware. Have fun.

I loved this device and it worked fine after I fixed what seemed to be "syntax errors" -- the separation of the word 'selected' in one place and removal of the line at the end. If you follow the directions precisely it should work and it's a great thing for events because it makes a slideshow that you can leave running with 2 or 10 or more seconds between shots.

Does this random pick or take pics next in line?

didnt work fo rme and did excatly what the directions where

yay thanks Hiro - it worked perfectly

How would one add buttons to this?

So as to cycle through the images I mean : )
