[Release] Dashboard Screensaver - bilakos - 2013-12-30 Dashboard Screensaver Summary of features The dashboard screensaver is an XBMC screensaver displaying RSS Feeds, current Weather conditions, 2-day Weather forecast and a quote of a stock of your choice. You can easily configure...:
You can download the latest Version from my github account: https://github.com/bilakos/script.screensaver.dashboard (Download as zip) and install from zip (Standard XBMC procedure) Developer Notes: The starting point was given by sphere and his simple screensaver example. Thanks, again. My credits go to spehere. The documentation of the code is not as good as it should be, but still working on it. Tested with spiegel.de Tested with n-tv.de Configuration of RSS feed Configuration of Stock quote RE: [Release] Dashboard Screensaver - Oli_Oops - 2014-05-29 I was just thinking about something like this last week. Thanks for reading my mind. RE: [Release] Dashboard Screensaver - iblong - 2014-05-31 It would not install for me..........."Dependencies not met. Contact author." I am on Gotham 13.1 RC Windows, MQ 5...........no problems with any thing else working.......? Re: [Release] Dashboard Screensaver - nickr - 2014-06-01 The only dependency is xbmc.python, so it must be a versioning thing. Same problem on openelec 4.03 (Gotham 13.1rc1) RE: [Release] Dashboard Screensaver - bilakos - 2014-06-01 nickr you're right. There is no dependency other than XBMC.python. Is there a log file you can share? In the meantime i will test it on RC13.1 Re: RE: [Release] Dashboard Screensaver - Martijn - 2014-06-01 (2014-06-01, 09:37)bilakos Wrote: nickr you're right. There is no dependency other than XBMC.python. import addon="xbmc.python" version="2.0" Is wrong. Needs to be 2.1.0 RE: [Release] Dashboard Screensaver - iblong - 2014-06-03 I am doing something wrong? I enter "http://rss.cnn.com/rss/cnn_topstories.rss" as the rss uri feed setting and use default loop interval setting and it does not work. The feed is good so what am I missing? Where is the addon picking up weather location from? Stock quote is all I can get to work! Can someone with better skills help me out.............Thank you. I really like this idea.....great work RE: [Release] Dashboard Screensaver - bilakos - 2014-06-08 Hi, Unfortunately, I have designed the app only to process true XML RSS. As far as I can see it from CNNs site it looks like the content is not available in native XML RSS. Sorry, but will have a look later again if I can implement somethng for that. RE: [Release] Dashboard Screensaver - dCypher - 2014-08-30 It would be great if: 1. Add multiple rss feeds 2. Customize how many stories from each feed (say the first 5, 10, 20) 3. Have a couple more stock quotes if there is room for them 4. Custom background path so we can maintain continuity for our themes Thanks! RE: [Release] Dashboard Screensaver - bry - 2014-09-10 @bilakos and @dCypher - you can use http://chimpfeedr.com/ to combine multiple rss feeds. I just did so myself and tested successfully. RE: [Release] Dashboard Screensaver - Viltran - 2014-10-17 I have really wanted this screen saver to work but after spending about 3 hours trying all kinds of different RSS feeds I am at a loss. Does anyone have any American feeds that work? |
