It is proving very difficult to set up the RPi to start the slideshow on boot. I've tried a number of methods:
In the end, I found that this one works, but it won't start on boot:

Also, I don't have an ethernet cable that's long enough to reach our switch. I will wait until I have more time to think about the project to make another big move. I kind of like just having a RPi terminal set up at the space to monkey around with anyway.

I've ordered a Raspberry Pi and commandeered an old TV at the space. I looked at a few other attempts to do the same project and it looks like I can probably get it going in an afternoon of debugging at the space. My initial thought for content is having the Pi pull from our dropbox account, which is already on the share drive at the space.
