SLIDESHOW_INTERVAL	60	the interval of the slideshow in seconds
SLIDESHOW_RESOLUTION		the resolution to which images are scaled (i.e. 1920x1080)

if SLIDESHOW_RESOLUTION is unset images will be requested in their original resolution.
if SLIDESHOW_PALETTE is unset no color palettes will be requested.
if SLIDESHOW_SCRIPT_STAGE is unset the script (if specified) will be executed after the background image has been set and the color palette file has been generated.

pre_image: executes the script before the background image will be set.
post_image: executes the script after the background image has been set.
pre_palette: executes the script before the color palette file will be generated.
post_palette: executes the script after the color palette has been generated.
