Q on slideshow - agathian - 2009-11-26 Hello! Have been using xbmc for few months now - very happy User. Kudos and thanks to the team.. Can someone please point me in the right direction here.. The slideshow setting (within Picture settings) "Amount of time to display each image" is set in seconds. But during actual slideshow it is being interpreted as a minutes. For ex. my current seeting is "1 sec". it is correctly ( i think) being reflected in the "guisettings.xml" file.. Code: <slideshow> But during the slideshow it is being interpreted as 1 min ( 60 seconds), as you can see in the log file entires also. Code: 18:49:20 T:3078100848 M:1400610816 DEBUG: ------ Window Init (SlideShow.xml) ------ Also, my slideshow settings is not giving me an option to set the transition time and xbmc is not doing any pan/zoom effects even though it is turned on. All of these were working perfectly fine until recently. I think, but not 100% sure, that the issues started after upgrading to 9.11 (alpha). Appreciate any and all help! - jmarshall - 2009-11-26 Clearly not minutes, given the log timestamps are 2 seconds apart. The number there is frames. It needs 72 frames, which includes 12 frames for the transistion. Thus, 60 frames displayed. - agathian - 2009-11-26 I just started this slideshow, and timed it manually.. It roughly came to approximately 50seconds, not counting the transition. ( give or take a few for my physical reaction in starting/stopping the timer) Code: 19:58:09 T:3078100848 M:1340690432 DEBUG: Image XXX is finished rendering, switching to XXX Thank you for helping! - jmarshall - 2009-11-26 Turn on debug logging and check how fast it's rendering (FPS). - agathian - 2009-11-26 Actually i got intrigued and tried a slideshow with really low resolution photos..(600x400, 40Kb) and surprise! surprise! - the slideshow worked exactly the way it is configured to. one second timing and pan/zoom effects... When it try it with high resolution photos ( 3624x2448, 3.5MB) - back to the same issue. 50secs and no effects. ( these same set of photos worked fine before) Wondering if this is some sort of rendering issue. Weird thing is, video rendering seems to be working fine for 720p content. I have a subset of the same high resolution image as "multi-image" background within the Transparency skin and it seemed to be working fine - transitioning every 7 seconds (couldnt find any setting for this per se ). I am at a loss.. would appreciate any pointers.. thanks! - agathian - 2009-11-26 jmarshall Wrote:Turn on debug logging and check how fast it's rendering (FPS). FPS is showing 0.9 to 1.7 ( with high resolution photos) FPS is showing 99 to 214 (with low resolution photos) thanks! - jmarshall - 2009-11-26 That's the problem then. Rubbish graphics card? - agathian - 2009-11-26 It is indeed a old Radeon 9000 card But it has been working fine so far... Is there any way for me to change the FPS in the slideshow? ( it is showing about 24 FPS while playing HQ video - i am guessing the frame rate is driven by the video itself, but not sure.. ) Slideshows with the same set of high resolution photos seems to be working fine from the Nautilus and F-spot, on the same system. My intention is not to complain - I am very pleased with xbmc overall and use it a lot! Just trying to understand the issue.. and possibly help surface any bugs.. Thanks! |
