[RELEASE] Windows Screensaver Script - SlrG - 2012-10-24 This is a XBMC python script, which will install itself as python screensaver. Upon activation by XBMC it will start the current windows screensaver. So now you'll be able to have all those nice windows screensavers out there on your Windows XBMC box. Aquariums, Fireplaces and Electric Sheep to name a few. Great thanks go out to dersphere and garbear for adding python screensaver support to XBMC. The Script frame is mostly based on derspheres work, too. So go ahead and add to their reputation it you like this. Sadly I was not able to make it work in pure python. The script relies on a c++ program written by me to do its work. The sourcode is on my github site and within the zip file. If you don't trust my precompiled version, check the source and compile it yourself. For the above reason, the script will not make it into the offical addon repository. So you'll have to install it by hand. Download the zip. Go to System / Add-ons and choose Install from zip file. After it is installed go to xbmc's screensaver settings and choose Windows Screensaver. You will need a current nightly build to make it work! Frodo-RC2 Or you'll have to wait till Frodo is released. The script is tested on Windows 7 (32&64 bit) with electric sheep as screensaver. If you have problems, feel free to post here with a full debug log. Github: https://github.com/SlrG/xbmcaddon Script: script.windowsscreensaver_v1.1.zip 2012-10-24 18:97 Found a bug which happens on remote controlled systems. Will try to fix it asap. 2012-12-08 17:43 I'm still on this. But work life is rather busy at the moment, so it will take more time. 2012-12-27 22:30 Remote control problems should now be fixed I think. More info in github commit. RE: [RELEASE] Windows Screensaver Script - mkpop - 2012-12-05 Hi Thanks for this, this feature is just what I've been looking for. I want to use it to run windows photo gallery as a screen saver which is the only screensaver I can find to select photos according to their metadata (i.e. star ratings in particular). The only trouble I'm having is that the photo screensaver shows an error message whenever there is music playing in the background. It works fine when xbmc is doing nothing, but if I want some music on in the background then it errors. I don't know if this is actually anything to do with your script - it may just be a limitation of my setup, but any suggestions would be appreciated! Thanks RE: [RELEASE] Windows Screensaver Script - SlrG - 2012-12-08 Hi mkpop, work life is rather busy for me at the moment. I'll have a look at your problem over the christmas days. I did not test with windows photo screensaver when developing the script, so I can't say where the problem is, yet. I'll post again if I find a solution or at least let you know where the problem is. SlrG RE: [RELEASE] Windows Screensaver Script - majorsl - 2012-12-11 Just wanted to pop in and say "thanks!" Works perfectly with several screensavers I've tried. It really opens up what's available for XBMC. Thanks again! RE: [RELEASE] Windows Screensaver Script - mkpop - 2012-12-19 Slrg Thanks for taking the time to look at this! RE: [RELEASE] Windows Screensaver Script - majorsl - 2012-12-22 I'll get you a debug log next time this happens... Several times when exiting the screensaver, XBMC quits with a dialog box: Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library Runtime Error! [path to xbmc] R6025 - pure virtual function call RE: [RELEASE] Windows Screensaver Script - SlrG - 2012-12-27 @mkpop: I'm sorry to say I can't reproduce your error. How do you have music running in the background? If I start playing an album within xbmc and untick "use visualization if playing audio" the windows foto screensaver starts and ends just fine if I'm within a menu. Please test again using at least Frodo-RC2 and v1.1 of my addon. If it still errors for you, please enable debug logging and post a link to a full debug log on pastebin. @majorsl: I can't reproduce this either. Which Windows Version are you using? Which screensaver? A debug log will indeed be helpful.

Unfortunately, it only happens occasionally when it exits, perhaps a 1 in 10 chance. I'll try to get some debug info over my New Years vacation. Thank you for replying! RE: [RELEASE] Windows Screensaver Script - drift - 2013-05-11 I'm using XBMC Remote for iOS, and Frodo 12.1. Once the screensaver starts, my remote can't wake the system. Any ideas on how to fix this? RE: [RELEASE] Windows Screensaver Script - SlrG - 2013-05-12 With Frodo something seems to have changed in XBMCs handling of screensavers. Work life is rather busy at the moment, so I had no chance to investigate the problem. For now I can only recommend to deactivate the script and use XBMCs internal screensaver.

Hey man, I appreciate the response! I updated to 12.2 and the issue is fixed Thank you very much for a nice script! RE: [RELEASE] Windows Screensaver Script - ktjensen - 2013-09-21 Am using other apps under windows that are affected by a screen saver when it using XBMC. Can set the main windows screensaver to 9999 minutes, while the local in XBMC is only 1 minute RE: [RELEASE] Windows Screensaver Script - Lamerjack - 2013-11-07 (2012-10-24, 15:20)SlrG Wrote: You will need a current nightly build to make it work! Frodo-RC2 Or you'll have to waitWill work with Gotham? When i try to install from zip say that are missing dependencies. Regards. Enrico. RE: [RELEASE] Windows Screensaver Script - SlrG - 2013-11-08 It propably won't work. Also I won't be able to fix it in the foreseeable future. Sorry. Feel free to have a look at the sourcecode yourself. Its free to pickup and change for everyone. RE: [RELEASE] Windows Screensaver Script - Lamerjack - 2013-11-10 Seems that was a corrupded install! On another system works fine. (or maybe is because this system was upgraded from frodo) |
