Workspace Cleanup Summary

🧹 Latest Cleanup Completed - October 2, 2025

This workspace has been cleaned after implementing PDF slideshow support with auto-advance functionality. All debug and temporary files from the optimization process have been removed.

PDF Slideshow Implementation Cleanup

Latest Changes (October 2, 2025):

Files Removed:

  • scripts/test-pdf-auto-advance.sh - Comprehensive PDF auto-advance test
  • scripts/test-pdf-loop-modes.sh - Loop vs auto-quit behavior test
  • scripts/test-pdf-slideshow.sh - Basic PDF slideshow test
  • scripts/verify-pdf-slideshow.sh - Final verification script
  • src/test_pdf_event.json - Temporary event file for testing
  • src/current_event.json.backup - Backup created during testing
  • All __pycache__/ directories and *.pyc files

Files Updated:

  • src/requirements.txt - Added pygame>=2.0.0 and pillow>=8.0.0
  • Log files cleaned (removed debug traces)

Final Complete Solution Overview

Presentation System:

  • PDF files: Native support with auto-advance
  • PPTX files: PPTX → PDF (LibreOffice) → Impressive (with auto-advance & loop)
  • Virtual Environment: pygame + pillow installed for impressive support

Why This Works:

  • Native auto-advance (no xdotool hacks)
  • Reliable loop support (--wrap parameter)
  • Clean auto-quit (--autoquit parameter)
  • Works consistently on Raspberry Pi
  • Simple, maintainable code

📊 Statistics

  • Total files removed: ~50+ obsolete files
  • Scripts removed: ~35 scripts
  • Documentation removed: ~15 files
  • Final script count: 10 essential scripts
  • Final documentation: 6 comprehensive guides

🎯 Result

The workspace now contains:

  • Clean, production-ready code
  • Working Impressive integration
  • Comprehensive documentation
  • Essential testing scripts only
  • No obsolete or failed approaches

🚀 Next Steps

  1. Test the solution:

    ./scripts/test-display-manager.sh
    
  2. Start production services:

    # Terminal 1: MQTT client
    cd src && python3 simclient.py
    
    # Terminal 2: Display Manager
    cd src && python3 display_manager.py
    
  3. Deploy to production:

    • Review systemd service: scripts/infoscreen-display.service
    • Enable auto-start on boot
    • Configure .env for production
