RE: [Release] Picture Slideshow Screensaver - aktarus - 2014-10-29 Hello, Before the update, I had the "rolling pointed wheel" instead of photos (15000 pics stored on Synology NAS) So, I updated manually to 1.0.6 version yesterday. Now, no more rolling wheel, but I got BLACK SCREEN with the photo date in the bottom right corner .... but no photos displayed If I exit the slideshow... sometime it work, sometime it crashed..... My cache is disabled in the settings !!! Any idea of what is wrong ?? MERCI... and sorry for my poor english RE: [Release] Picture Slideshow Screensaver - djoole - 2014-10-29 (2014-10-26, 17:43)ronie Wrote:(2014-10-26, 12:30)djoole Wrote: Hi Ronie, Cache is disabled, so i don't have to update it. Any other idea? When i first installed the plugin, cache was enabled by default.. maybe there still is an index present that would prevent the plugin to fin new pics, although cache is disabled? Thanks for the tip about debug log, i'll try to reactivate photos during pause and reproduce the bug in order to post the logs @aktarus, did you try with the 1.0.5? That's the one I'm using and i haven't your problem RE: [Release] Picture Slideshow Screensaver - ronie - 2014-10-29 (2014-10-29, 18:23)djoole Wrote: Cache is disabled, so i don't have to update it.enable cache, create update, then disable cache again. you'll now have an up-to-date index file that you can check for missing images.

Finally I realized that it was caused by the XBMC cache filling the disk up (not the cache in the screensaver addon). After purging the cache, it worked for a while again. The permanent solution (other than regularly purging the cache) was suggested in this thread, where soemone told us that the caching of pictures may be disabled in XBMC, see in post #314 1807828 (post) Hope this helps, Zsolt RE: [Release] Picture Slideshow Screensaver - aktarus - 2014-10-30 Quote:Hi, Thank you for the hint, So, my XBMC installation is on an MINIX Android tv box ... So does't it mean that I have to clear application cache in the android parameter ?? Or it's inside XMBC ??

RE: [Release] Picture Slideshow Screensaver - Aardvark - 2014-10-30 Hi dev, At least with the last nightly (20141027) I cannot show pictures from a recursive directory anymore. I traced it to utils.py, where if xbmcvfs.exists(xbmc.translatePath(folder)): always returns false because it requires a trailing slash after the path to actually test for a path instead of a file. The dirs,files = xbmcvfs.listdir(folder) returns paths without trailing slash, so no directory is ever recursed. Adding a slash solves this and recurses all my picture directories. What I don't understand is that the plugin is not changed, and the last change to xbmcvfs.exists is from begin 2013 according to github. So how can it still work under XBMC 14.0-alpha-3..?

RE: [Release] Picture Slideshow Screensaver - johannesoonk - 2014-10-31 A very good addon! Thanks! I have one issue with this addon: When I remove a picture of the folder, it still shows it. I use 2.0.7 and indexing is set to off, running on a rpi openelec. As I understood this should be off when you want to be flexible with the folder content. I use it to show pictures but I want to change these now and then. So it would be great if it would check the folder each cycle if there were any updates. Or am I missing something? Or does anyone have the code available to delete the index and thumbnails each cycle? Thanks! RE: [Release] Picture Slideshow Screensaver - GTunney - 2014-10-31 Hi everyone. I've been using this screensaver no problems for months on end to display music fanart after 2 mins as my mrs leaves the tv on when she's listening to music. She told me the other day a message came up on screen but she can't remember what. This defaulted the screensaver back to the default. Now I've changed it back to slideshow but no matter what dim level I select it stays at what seems full brightness. Any suggestions?
