Polaris vs Simple Frame
Side-by-side comparison of two open source alternatives
Polaris
Connect to your Polaris server and listen to music on the go! Key features: - Shuffle mode - Songs preloading - Offline mode
Simple Frame
Displays images in a folder as a slideshow with 12 transition types to choose from. Meant to find a use for older unsupported devices that are just sitting around. Accordingly the app does not have any networking features since these old devices are often inherently insecure. Supports local files only. I suggest transfering the files from a computer using a USB connection. Features: - Display pictures of a local folder in a slideshow - 12 slideshow transitions - Customizable time before changing picture - Option to scale the pictures to fit the screen - Can randomize the picture order
