Review comments at @usermods/pov_display/pov_display.cpp:
- Around line 55-56: Update the segment-name handling around `_lastSegName` so a
new name remains pending until `loadImage` succeeds. Retry loading on later loop
iterations after the rate limit, and only record the name as handled after a
successful load.
- Line 60: Update the loop calling s_pov.showNextColumn() to display columns
only when the main segment’s selected effect is the POV effect. Leave other
effects’ pixels and strip output untouched.
- Around line 59-60: Update the display flow around s_pov.showNextColumn() so
columns are shown only when the current segment name identifies a successfully
loaded BMP; suppress display after a non-BMP name change instead of showing the
previous image.
Review comments at @usermods/pov_display/pov.cpp:
- Line 44: Update BMPimage::init to clear _loaded before attempting a load and
reject non-positive _width values before returning success, closing the file and
marking the image invalid on rejection. This prevents showNextColumn from
evaluating modulo zero after a failed reload.

- Add showColumn() method that reads pixels directly from BMP buffer - Uses image width/height/rowSize to compute pixel memory positions - Add showNextColumn() to iterate through columns - Display logic remains in mode_pov_image() effect function to ensure it only runs when POV effect is selected (fixes: effect no longer draws) - Keep displaying old image while retrying to load new one (fixes: failed loads continue showing previous image) - Retry loading at 2 attempts/second (fixes: failed loads not retried) This displays vertical columns of the image as you wave the LED strip horizontally, which is the standard orientation for POV displays.

@Liliputech is this a breaking change, or can users choose between column-wise or row-wise display? |

this in a breaking change, but for the better, since most image banks for POV project are mostly "horizontal" based (see visualpoi.zone for examples). |

needs_rework
- read the image name from the segment actually running the effect instead of the main segment, so a secondary segment with a BMP name displays its image when the main segment has no name - keep the playback column per segment (aux0); concurrent POV segments no longer advance a shared column at double speed - use int for rowSize so valid row sizes above 32767 are not truncated negative (which made the image render black) - write black only when a pixel has no valid BMP color, halving setPixelColor calls in the hot path - remove strip.show() from the effect; showing is driven by the strip service loop - BMPimage::init: clear _loaded before re-parsing metadata and reject non-positive widths, preventing division by zero and stale-loaded crashes after failed reloads of malformed BMP files - drop unused POV::showNextColumn() and currentColumn
For image widths == 2 (mod 4) the row-size check alone accepted colIndex == width and read one byte past the image buffer on the last row. Reject colIndex >= width up front, before any offset calculation; the row-size check is kept for valid columns. Not reachable from the POV effect itself, which always passes a column index below width.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win
Require a loaded image before advancing a matching filename.
A segment can load image A, then another segment can try an invalid image B. BMPimage::init() can set _width to zero without replacing A’s stored filename. When A runs again, the filename matches, and Line 40 divides by zero. A failed buffer load can also leave the new filename matched but unloaded, which prevents retries. Require img->isLoaded() and a positive width for this branch; route an unloaded match through the rate-limited load path.

This effect is not intended to be run on several segment at the same time, there is not enough memory to load/store that many pixel buffers in memory.

@Liliputech Thanks for clarifying the single-segment constraint. My multi-segment example does not apply to the intended use.
The failed-load case still applies with one segment. BMPimage::init() stores the filename before BMPimage::load() allocates and reads the buffer. If allocation or reading fails, the filename matches but img->isLoaded() is false. The matching branch then returns on every call and prevents another load attempt.
The img->isLoaded() guard is therefore still needed. It routes failed loads through the existing retry path without adding another pixel buffer.

Learning: In WLED's C++ POV display usermod at usermods/pov_display/pov_display.cpp, mode_pov_image is intended to run on only one segment at a time. The author states that memory limits prevent loading and storing pixel buffers for multiple segments. Do not assume simultaneous multi-segment playback is a supported use case.
Note: Learnings are effective only in the context of similar code segments. To apply general coding guidelines, please configure review instructions. You can manage existing learnings in the app.

The POV display usermod had an issues displaying image line after line, while most POV setup uses horizontal movement to show the image (see visualpoi.zone).
Also there was a bit of overhead and timing slowing the display of the image. This pull fixes those issues.
