When an image that is much taller or wider than the screen is displayed, it's stretched out and dimmed in the background a second time to avoid black space, would it also be possible to apply a blur effect to background version? However, I've never seen any part of the Kodi interface feature a blur, so I wonder if it's not technically possible.

nope blurring images is not possible in kodi.

I had a feeling. Oh well.
despite being set to random, this is currently only going in order for my fanart. I've tried turning off random, closing out and going back in to set random again, but I'm just getting 100% reverse alphabetical order of my fanart for the screensaver. This wasn't the case even a couple weeks ago so I'm not sure if something was updated on the screensaver that broke it, or if it's my build of jarvis (beta2) or if it has anything to do with that I'm using Emby as a backend if something was updated on that end. Has anyone else experienced this or have any tips to get random back? I'm a bit tired of seeing zoolander, zombieland, etc. in the same order each time the screensaver comes up. Also makes "guess that movie" idle game much less interesting since we're pretty much certain what the first letter is at least

thanx, i think i've found the bug that could be causing this.
i've pushed v3.0.2 of the screensaver to the addon repo, you should get an update within the next day or so.
Love this screensaver that shows my photos randomized.
Sometimes I just get a black screen for one or more photos in a row. I see then the date and tags but no photo(s). After that period photos are being displayed as expected again.

What could be causing this?

Thanks.
I see this regularly too, the sporadic black screens with dates etc.
no idea, haven't seen this myself.

if you can reproduce it easily, a Debug Log would be appreciated
and perhaps a copy of the pictures that have this problem (in case it's always the same pictures).

Will post both later today when I get home.

Hello I am seeing this "old" behavior but only on one of my systems: manually starting the slideshow from "Pictures/Options works"
* Desktop Gentoo Linux Kodi 15.2 - no issue
* rpi1 osmc (uptodate) Kodi 15.2 - this issue (from time to time)
* rpi2 osmc (uptodate) Kodi 15.2 - this issue (almost always)


Running Picture Slideshow Screensaver 2.19 on all 3 systems
Pictures are on my NAS and available through NFS,
* Desktop mounts NFS shares to local FS and then I chose the folder locally
* rpi 1 and rpi 2 directly use NFS share from within Kodi to access pictures (I. not not mounted locally on the rpis)



There is no info in the logs, but I'm willing to test things.

Regards,
does your nas spin down the drives (put them to sleep) after some period of inactivity?
Yes Caviar Red Drives that can be spinned down... But NFS mount on the desktop has never lead to such an issue... (only installed the 2 rpis in the past 3 weeks, have had the desktop and NAS for the past year and a half)

But after checking setup, hdd hibernation is not activated. Though sometimes desktop does wait a little while accessing the drives for the first time in a while
can you reproduce the issue on your pri2 (which almost always has the problem),
by first manually starting the slideshow (from picture > options), so we can be sure the nas driver are spinned up
and then start the picture screensaver?
Log output below doing what I understood you asked for:

1) Navigate to Pictures and manually start recursive slideshow
There are error messages in the logs during the slideshow, but the slideshow works just fine visually.

I did not have the issue anymore so if it stays that way it's good but when it happens again I will report back here.
ronie, is it possible to add support for file deletion to this slideshow screensaver like you did it in this post?
