Raspberry Wall is a implementation of a message-board/post-wall allowing to display short messages, images and videos on a screen, scroll through them, display the images and play the videos in full-screen. It queries an specified mailbox for particular messages, extract the text and display valid attachments. It works as an digital picture/video frame after some idle timeout.
Raspberry Wall uses the Kivy Cross-platform Python Framework and is based on the incredible work of Mathieu Virbel. In order to run the Raspberry Wall you have to install recent Version of Kivy on your platform and also install the RecycleView Kivy widget. Follow the instructions in the recycleview folder.
