Geektoolkit
Error first start
Hi,
I followed the guide:
sudo wget https://github.com/Geektoolkit/Dynaframe3/releases/download/2.19/install.sh && bash install.sh; rm -f install.sh ; sudo reboot and it work fine.
I'm having this error after initial installation and first run.
" Unhandled exception: System.IO.DirectoryNotFoundException: Could not find special directory 'My Picture' "
I'm running Dynaframe in a Pi 4.
I've renamed the folder "Pictures" to "My pictures". same error.
The folder has 3 pictures into.
What could happen? Thanks.
Be carefull with folder names and capitalization. so you should have in your pi a directory as follows
/home/pi/Pictures if you want to make another that is fine, but do not remove the stock directory.
if there is still a problem after recreating the default photo directory, then do sudo rm -rfv ~/Dynaframe then rerun the install string above.
I will also let you know that there is a newer version of Dynaframe out there called DynaframePro and it's a patreon supported project, and has advanced a long way from Dynaframe3. You may want to look there, it's seriously worth the cost of a coffee to hop in.
Hi, Thanks. I did your steps above and Pictures folder was solved. And now I have a new error that I cannot start the GUI. "Unhandled exception. System.InvalidOperationException: Default font family name can't be null or empty. at Avalonia.Media.FontManager..ctor(IFontManagerImpl platformImpl) in /_/src/Avalonia.Visuals/Media/FontManager.cs:line 28" I tried to install some fonts manually, following som google search but this is not working. :-( Regarding the new DynaframePro, I know there is a subscription app, but I would like to test first this app to see if it is what I really need. My goal is to have a Pi with a 24" monitor to show my google photos as a digitalframe.
Thanks.
it looks as though the file /home/pi/Dynaframe/appsettings.json is corrupted. the reference copy is located in the repo, here: https://github.com/Geektoolkit/Dynaframe3/blob/master/appsettings.json and also in the zip you use the wget command to obtain.
The subscription version is lightyears ahead of this, and would be well worth a months try out to grab a recent version, or even to join up on discord and possibly opt in to the testing program for even newer copies.
