RE: Picture Slideshow Screensaver - c_c_c_66 - 2023-01-21 Tried the nexus version. The option fanart music has as a result a spinning circle of circles the option fanart video is OK with the option to see the images from a folder: you can select a folder but then start video fanart. RE: Picture Slideshow Screensaver - lightwizard - 2023-01-23 After installing the latest build from GitLab (7.0.1) and setting to use Image folder on local network, getting spinning wheel and crashing out of kodi 20. Image folder is accessible from pictures in kodi but will not run screensaver. I know the python update is bothering a lot of plugins. Just thought I would post in case any one else ran into this problem. P.S. Android build of kodi. RE: Picture Slideshow Screensaver - lightwizard - 2023-01-23 Windows version is fine. Only Android problem. RE: Picture Slideshow Screensaver - lightwizard - 2023-01-25 Android version finally started working. It took a full day of catching before it worked. But now seems ok. RE: Picture Slideshow Screensaver - Paulman9 - 2023-07-27 Really like this screensaver, however, after changing over my picture storage to nextcloud (moving from SMB to webdav), I've been unable to display my pictures within Kodi 20.2 (windows and libreelec), it just drops to the video fanart instead. I think I was on 19.something before and had the same issue, but I tried it on an older Windows device (Kodi 18.9) I had setup and it worked fine, and references https:// in the logs instead of davs://. It sounds like a Kodi error to me a first glance but strangely browsing the share from the File Browser or even a manually initiated slideshow of the entire directory works just fine. I tried to pull a log from my existing machine but it was littered with unrelated errors and also had my username, password and webdav url in plain text. I grabbed the (hopefully) relevant error below, but I'll see if I can find a way to make a safe debug of just this process if this isn't enough info to at least know if the problem lies with Kodi or this addon. 2023-07-26 03:06:38.970 T:928 info <general>: Loading skin file: /storage/.kodi/addons/screensaver.picture.slideshow/resources/skins/default/1080i/script-python-slideshow.xml, load type: LOAD_ON_GUI_INIT 2023-07-26 03:06:39.143 T:1801 error <general>: CCurlFile::Exists - <davs://USERNAME[email protected]:443/public.php/webdav/> Failed: Unsupported protocol(1) Either way, thank you for your time and the work that goes into this, I do appreciate it. RE: Picture Slideshow Screensaver - hale50 - 2023-07-30 Me, too, I do like this Picture Slideshow Screensaver very much since long time, to show pictures accessed via smb from NAS. However, there is a problem I hoped it would be fixed sometime on a new release. When under “Additional settings” of Picture Slideshow Screensaver the option “Display additional picture tags” is set, e.g. the title of the picture can be displayed, if present in EXIF data. However, this option seems to use always a default (that is an English) set of characters, regardless of what regional language and/or character set is chosen at interface setting. That leads to unreadable characters when e.g. German titles with umlauts (ÄÖÜ, äöü) or sharp-s (ß)are present. Can this be fixed in a future version? I hope so. Thanks to have a look into this.

And this version fixed the problem right away. Great job! RE: Picture Slideshow Screensaver - Paulman9 - 2023-08-01 Thanks for responding. Sorry it took so long to gather logs, had to dig up some spare hardware to spin up a clean libreelec to ensure nothing else is going on with my setup. Other PC gave me a 150MB log file but thats a seperate issue lol. I'm using the public share from nextcloud, which shouldn't make a difference afaik. Slideshow screensaver fails, but browsing the share or even starting a slideshow manually from pictures works just fine. RE: Picture Slideshow Screensaver - Karellen - 2023-11-12 Wondering if anybody else is having problems with Picture Slideshow Screensaver on Kodi v21 Omega. I've been running Omega for about 3 weeks, and have the screensaver set to use images sourced from the video library, but it also happens when music library is set as the image source. Many images are just a black screen with the movie name being displayed in the bottom right corner while other images are displayed correctly. I estimate half my fanart images won't display. When I check those movies in Choose Art, the fanart is correctly loaded. I have deleted and rescanned the movies but it still shows as a black screen. I was hoping it was just a caching issue, and that over time it would sort itself out, but it hasn't. @ronie any idea? I don;t see a logging option in the screensaver settings and nothing shown in the Kodi Debug Log. RE: Picture Slideshow Screensaver - ronie - 2023-11-13 @Karellen yes, i can reproduce it. i have a couple of fanart images which show up as black in the screensaver. what i did is check the Textures.db file and saw that those affected movies do not have a cached fanart image. now i don't know much about our caching system, but what solved it for me was slowly browsing through the movie library (i have a small library, so easy to do). i rechecked the database afterwards and all movie fanart images now have a cached url and show up fine in the screensaver as well.

I checked also and found I had 247 cachedurl missing for fanart. (also lots missing for other artwork types, but lets stick with fanart for now.) So I scrolled through part of my movie library, checked the db and noticed missing cachedurl increased to 342. Scrolled through more of my movie library, and missing cachedurl increased to 536. Hmm, did you notice if your cachedurl entries were deleting themselves? Maybe @rmrector might have an idea? rmrector Wrote:. |
