Looping Images on the N900
 

Not sure if this is old news but found quite a nice walkthrough for looping images on the desktop screen while looking through you tube. May not be worthy of its own thread but I thought it was pretty cool :)

I was hoping it was a walkthrough on how to MAKE them. Its hardly rocket science to just crop an existing one to the right size. (although I could be wrong as I thought the N900 allowed you to use a single image not have to split it into four, which is a little more tricky)

Knowing the right term to search for to find existing ones (equirectangular) is helpful though, but I am going to have to search further on how to actually make them myself.

Actually, you do not need equirectangular images for the N900 but I do not know if there is a specific term for a seamless looping panoramic image. They are however a LOT easier to make than an equirectangular image though.

Hi! I am pretty new on here so I wasn't sure if this had been covered, either on here or somewhere else on the site, but I thought it was so useful I had to post it. Nice job on the video as well!

The posts regarding the N900 in Italy have been moved to their own thread. Please continue discussion there.

It can be a pain if you do it with a GUI, but that's the kind of thing command line tools are made for. Assuming you have saved your 3200x480 image as full.png, converting it to 4 contiguous 800x480 JPEGs is as simple as

with Netpbm, or even:

with ImageMagick.
