What software to choose for the information stand?
Good afternoon.
Tell me, is there any software to install on a computer used as an information stand?
Given:
a computer (with win 10 on board) connected to a TV.
Needed:
A program that would look into a specific folder (whether network or local) and launch all files of certain types from there (photos, *.ppt/*.pptx presentations, videos).
And it would allow:
for photo files to set the display time;
change the order of files;
has its own interface (it is desirable that all files run "in one window" and "in full screen").
In general, you need to organize an information stand on Win. Is there any software (preferably OpenSource) that allows this modest functionality.

You can also sort through the files in the folder and open them in the corresponding program with a batch file:
for %%a in (dir\*) do start /wait "%%~a"
All that remains is to configure the appropriate software for the playback options you need.
In the hospital where I work, I use the usual free image viewer FSIV in slideshow mode for this. We indicate to him a folder with pictures, and he goes through them one by one in alphabetical or numerical order. The display time of each picture is set in the slideshow settings. The display order can be changed by renaming the files. I believe that any other modern image viewer will also cope with this task.
This computer is used for its intended purpose as a workplace in the reception, showing a slide show for it is a background task.
Cyclic alternate video display is easily provided by PotPlayer (and again, most likely, not only it).
But I have not come across a program that provides a mixed display of "multi-genre" files (photos, videos, presentations) in one common playlist. Perhaps the scheduler will handle this, launching the pre-configured video player, presenter, and picture viewer in turn.
