your only option is to get rid of it.

Hi Ronie,

I too fell foul to this issue recently. I'm a coder, but not in Python unfortunately, and I was trying to work out why your add-on is trying to import resources from a different add-on. Couldn't work it out, but it was late and I have kids so I'm permanently tired . Can you explain how this could happen, and if there's a simple way to "contain" your imports so both add-ons can co-exist?

Many thanks in advance. Great screensaver, by the way.

there was a bug in older version of the screensaver.
make sure you're using v2.0.10

I have a windows share with my pictures - \\server\pics
I can see those pics on XBMC, no problem.

How do I configure the slideshow to see this path? The only path that the addon sees are local folders.
I know it's possible because I have a year-old raspberry pi (with paspbmc) that I've configured this way, working great until now... but I cant remember how I did it.


PS: if I remember correctly I've use some kind of symlink, but now idea how to do it, just followed some guide. I'm a Windows user only

you first need to go to the pictures section in kodi and add your share there (using the 'add pictures...' option).

Is it possible to configure the screen saver to only pan either horizontally OR vertically (w/o zoom) for pictures where the asepct ratio does not fit the screen? I mean in a way that never black borders appear? (Hope it's clear... not easy to describe w/o pictures)

So a panorama picture would simply pan horizontally, whereas a 3:2 picture would simply pan vertically on the 16:9 screen.

If not: would be a desired feature for me.

Thx
Diddle

i can't be of much help i'm afraid. as already said, the issue is the script.video.F4mProxy addon.

the fix is that the addon needs to expose all the libraries it provides under 1 unique name,
and not provide a handful of libraries under very common names.

Hello everyone,

I really love this screensaver.. but I also need F4mProxy addon in my XBMC ...
Any way to use these two at the same time ?? I'm still on Gotham, so I run the 1.0.9 version.

MERCI
