Change of background every 15 seconds
Hi all,

Any ideas of how to change the channel background every 15 seconds? The URL used below will return a different JPEG URL every time you request it.

oc.art = HTTP.Request('http://radioparadise.com/readtxt.php').content


I just don't know how to repeatedly call it without user interaction. Thanks!

I don’t think that you can, but I may be wrong. The background art is attached to the object at creation time, so to change it I think you would need to initiate a new object every time which is not something you can do within the framework as far as I know.

Hmm, bummer. Is there an ability to display a slideshow when playing back music?

That I don’t know for sure (but I don’t think so). Sorry, I know nothing about the audio end of things!
