RE: [Release] Picture Slideshow Screensaver - lowjumpingfrog - 2014-12-04 My bad looks like I running Gotham. I will download Kodi and see how that works. I assume the updated Screensaver add-on is linked to the version Kodi vs Gotham?

RE: [Release] Picture Slideshow Screensaver - lowjumpingfrog - 2014-12-04 Same behavior in most recent Kodi Helix build with the Picture Slideshow Screensaver 2.0.10. There is a 5 second black screen in between every picture. RE: [Release] Picture Slideshow Screensaver - arjones67 - 2014-12-05 Hello. I know the BoxeeBox is not an officially supported platform at the moment, but has any testing been done with this add-on the BoxeeBox? It's mostly working for me with 1 issue. About 10% of the time the images do not display correctly. I get a black background with white blocks. I'm running XBMC Gotham. I think I'm using version 1.09 of the add-on, but i'm not in front of the BoxeeBox at the moment to confirm. I'm trying to determine if there is a problem with my images or if it's a add-on/Boxee compatibility issue. My best guess is an add-on/Boxee issue because it does not appear to be related to specific images. Sometimes an image works and sometimes it doesn't. I have no problem with Gotham and the add-on when running it on my Macbook Pro with the same images.

Sometimes an image works and sometimes it doesn't. not very likely to be an addon problem. you could start by checking if the images display correctly in the pictures section of Kodi.

There were a bunch of hidden files in the directory with all my pictures. No clue where they came from. I got the weird black screen with white blocks when Kodi tried to display the hidden files. Thanks for your help and all the great work on Kodi!

RE: [Release] Picture Slideshow Screensaver - lowjumpingfrog - 2014-12-09 More information on this ... If I set the "Amount of seconds to display each image" to anything less than 5 seconds no images appear. If I set it for 6 seconds or greater then the images display for that amount of time less 5 seconds, eg. if "Amount of seconds to display each image" = 7 seconds the image displays for 2 seconds and then the screen is blank for 5 seconds before the next image appears. System setup: Raspberry Pi Model B OpenElec 4.97.1 Picture Slideshow Screensaver 2.0.10 Pastebin Log File I see errors in the log file but, not sure what they mean with regard to the Screensaver Any ideas where I might go next? Thanks RE: [Release] Picture Slideshow Screensaver - ronie - 2014-12-09 (2014-12-09, 20:32)lowjumpingfrog Wrote: More information on this ... according to the log your images are corrupt and Kodi has problems displaying them Quote:10:49:49 336.006378 T:2825008192 NOTICE: DecodeJpegToTexture: unable to decode to texture /storage/pictures/DSC00277.JPG 1620x1080 it probably has nothing todo with this addon. check if those images display correctly when you browse them through the pictures section in kodi. RE: [Release] Picture Slideshow Screensaver - lowjumpingfrog - 2014-12-10 These images display just fine in the screensaver and in the Picture slideshow part of Kodi. In fact, the pictures in the Slideshow action from the Home Screen Picture menu display with a crossfade just perfectly. It is only the blank screen in between the images (displayed without error) on the Screensaver Slideshow that is a problem. I resampled the images to the screen resolution 1920x1200 and the blank screen in between images is almost no existent. I suspect the issue is that Picture Slideshow screen saver is using a software JPEG decoder and the the Home Screen Picture slideshow is using a hardware decoder. When the images are smaller the software decoder works faster and the delay between images is shorter. I think the bitstream corruption is nothing more than the software decoder did not finish the JPEG decoding in time for the screensaver app to us it.

RE: [Release] Picture Slideshow Screensaver - lowjumpingfrog - 2014-12-10 Understood. This is probably not the right place to ask this question. but, is it possible to interact with Kodi from the command line in an ssh session. For example write a shell/python script that effects the screen display ...?? I presume it would be possible to turn the display off and on in some fashion from the command line? I am working my way through the Wiki and not getting to anything that looks or smells like this Thanks |
