# DiaShower 
A chromecast ambient mode like Diashow


## Setup and run
1. Make sure python is installed
2. Create a python VENV  `python  -m venv DiaShower-venv`
3. Activate the VENV `. ./DiaShower-venv/bin/activate` for :Linux or `.\DiaShower-venv\Scripts\Activate.ps1` for Windows
4. Install dependencies `pip install -r requirements.txt` 
5. Copy the `config.json.example` to `config.json.example' and edit it  to fit  your needs
6. Create the the images folder definded in the config and put your images in to it
7. Run with `python server.py`

## Convert to  binary (Advanced)
* Make sure the  VENV is still activated
1. Install `pyinstaller` using `pip install -U pyinstaller`
2. Create binary using `pyinstaller server-pyinstaller.spec`
3. The binary is created in the dist folder, to use it create a config an the configured image folder  here (or wherever you move the binary to)
4. Update the path to the images to a full path

* if you wish to cleanup you can remove the build (and if you copied the binary somware else the dist  folder)
* Removing `pyinstaller` is safe you can use `pip uninstall -y altgraph setuptools packaging pyinstaller-hooks-contrib pyinstaller pywin32-ctypes pefile`
