Usage of MOT Slideshow and DLS
==============================

+Basic example
+-------------
`odr-padenc` reads images from the specified folder, and generates the PAD
data for the encoder. This is communicated through a socket to the encoder. It
also reads DLS from a file, and includes this information in the PAD.
+PAD length is specified in the audio encoder and must not be set on the `odr-padenc` command line.
+
+Basic example with both DLS taken from the file *dls.txt* and MOT Slideshow carousel with slides from the *slides* folder.
+This assumes the common identifier between audio encoder and ODR-PadEnc is defined in the *IDENTIFIER* environment
+variable.
+
+ odr-padenc -o $IDENTIFIER -t dls.txt -d ./slides
+
+If you generate slides on-the-fly (e.g. content-related slides with album covers), set the `--erase` flag to ensure a
+slide is only transmitted once, and set `--sleep=0` to start slide transmission as soon as the file is created.
