Caching mechanism
This integration with Microsoft OneDrive Gallery optimizes image loading by caching selected folder contents, ensuring faster display times. Due to this caching, you may expect up to 5 minutes of delay when adding new images to the Microsoft OneDrive folder, before they appear on the Airtame screen.
Manage duration
Make sure to think about both the interval between images and the total Duration of the OneDrive Gallery app.
If the total duration is shorter than the number of images times the interval between images, not all images will be shown. If the total duration is longer than the number of images times the interval between images, The list of images will repeat until the total duration of time has passed.
For example, if you select a file with 6 images and an interval between images of 10 seconds, it will take 60 seconds to show all the images.
Setting the duration to 50 seconds will only show 5 of the 6 images.
Setting the duration to 2 minutes will show all the images twice.
Once you have chosen the images and have selected a time interval between those images, the default duration will be shown, which is calculated as the number of images selected times the time interval between the images. You can also manually choose the duration of these images being shown.
