I need to slideshow a PPT(slide by slide) in a RPI, can anyone suggest any python program to display the PPT.

Note:

Tried using "soffice --show ~/sample.pptx --norestore" command - Opens in Slideshow, Doesn't move to the next slide in PPT

Tried "libreoffice --impress sample..ppt" - opens the ppt.

    If you can basically open the file in soffice or libreoffice, the problem is most likely with the ppt (maybe it's using very specific features). Nothing we can fix here. – PMF Feb 04 '21 at 13:18
  • @PMF, generally how does people show PPT through RPI in monitor(I mean which packages do they use and how do they do that) – Jaya chandra Feb 04 '21 at 13:40
  • I do not know how this is "generally" done, but LibreOffice works on the Pi (and is installed by default, I think), so that's probably about your best option – PMF Feb 04 '21 at 16:13
  • @PMF, I mean using libre office impress, how can I loop a PPT in RPI using CLI commands – Jaya chandra Feb 05 '21 at 02:44
  • I do not know. I would first make sure the PPT loops automatically if you start it by hand. – PMF Feb 05 '21 at 05:49

I was able to display the PPT in RPI, by converting the PPT into PDF, PDF to Images and displayed those images using python script.
