Do you like my hacking? If so, please consider leaving something in the
Current contents:
EUR57 (about $81.51), some lint and a button.
With the hack in place, I decided to update my program to be able to write pngs to the display. With a little mplayer-magic in place, I got this result. The movie is streamed over USB, the sound comes from the PC. The framerate is about 8fps.
I have packed together the program and firmware-hack together in an easy-to-use package for Linux-machines. Download it here. Instructions are contained in the README-file, and I'd appreciate a mail if it works for you. Please note that the software can't modify the pictures stored on the device yet, perhaps I'll add that when I have the time.

Nice hack. Too bad you only have stuff for Linux to download. I'm not as technical as you (du-uh) and I was looking for a ready-made Windows solution.. Let me know if you ever have that. Greetings from Belgium. (dave AT hotmail DOT com)
I have a smartsource shelfvision unit, i formated the unit now i want to send new information to the unit and have it play, how can i do this ( ops WXP )
I am looking for someone to hack a smartsource shelfvision video. they are free at your local grocery store ;) and i happen to have got one. i cant find any information about them and would like to use it as a mobile video player. any information would be greatly appreciated itsonlytheis@hotmail.com
Very nice! Exactly what i've been searching for :) I brought an LogiLink 7" DPF with an cheertek CT952A Chip and want to use it for my htpc as sec display. Is your tool compatible or which firmware should i use?
i wish someone would turn or hack a cheap 5 inch or 4 inch lcd photo frame into a ebook reader for text and rtf files with 4gb storage from a sdd card. ebook readers cost a much as a laptop at present.what a rip off.
People, you really need to RTFM before asking such questions :-) Of course software is needed, did you think it would just magically work with an external camera like in the movies? It's quite easy pairing up MPlayer (built with st2205) and linux-uvc. You should visit "our" wiki (at http://picframe.spritesserver.nl/wiki/index.php/Main_Page ) - there you'll find every bit of information you need. Also, you *need* some basic Linux shell knowledge, otherwise this project is not for you.
Hey, Is there any way i could hook one of these frames up to an external camera? or is the software needed?? Cheers Ray
Any support for windows users soon? email me @ golinux@rocketmail.com
