## Description

SlideShow turns almost any Android tablet, box, or TV into a digital signage device. It supports a wide range of media, including images, videos, audio, Excel sheets, PDFs, HTML files, websites, and YouTube videos. Media can be added via USB, browser upload, FTP, or synced with Google Drive, Dropbox, or WebDAV. Create playlists and layouts in the web interface and schedule playback across days and times, with options for shuffle or alphabetical cycling.

Design customizable layouts with zones for date/time, RSS feeds, and weather forecasts. Use background music or a dedicated music player, and trigger contextual content with face detection. Integrate with other devices via REST API or serial port, and control actions from remote keys or screen zones to build interactive signage.

## Review summary

Users praise SlideShow for being free, simple, and packed with features. The app shines for multi-zone displays, robust customization, scheduling, and browser-based remote configuration, with Chromecast support. However, recurring issues include media access problems (local/external storage not accessible or files greyed out), occasional crashes or failures to launch, flaky web interface/remote connectivity, and trouble auto-starting on boot for some devices. Overall, it’s powerful and versatile, especially for multi-display setups, but stability and media access issues are the most mentioned drawbacks.

### Pros

- Free and feature-rich with extensive customization options
- Excellent for multi-zone content with synchronization across displays
- Scheduling and automation (playback timing, date/time actions, auto-delete)
- Browser-based configuration and remote control
- Chromecast support and cross-device compatibility

### Cons

- Media access issues: local/external storage not accessible (greyed-out files, SD card not detected)
- App can crash or fail to launch on occasion
- Web interface/remote connectivity is flaky (cannot connect from devices, firewall issues)
- Auto-start on boot is not reliably supported on some devices
