https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/blob/master/language/Swedish/langinfo.xml

this is what the slideshow screensaver uses to convert the exif date to a local format.

Edit : I spoke to fast, after a reboot the same problem.

I put the photos in this directory : /storage/.xbmc/addons/skin.quartz/photoframe/

Is it good ?

Hi!

I move the photos to this directory /storage/.xbmc/userdata/Thumbnails/photoframe and it's work, no cache.

Thank you for the help

xbmc menu freezing:

xbmc is frozen after the slideshow has been on-screen and ive come back to use xbmc.

clue1: this only happens if im on the home screen menu when the screensaver kicks in. xbmc seems frozen ie nothing n my remote will do anything.

clue2: i have a keyboard button mapped to take me to the homescreen, if i press this button thenxbmc comes to life again and works normally. i pressed this during the debug log by the way.

clue3: this problem does not exist when i use confluence, so only in quartz.

(windows xp, frodo12, quartz skin)

is this a known problem or should i post a debug log?

edit: here's the debug log anyway: http://xbmclogs.com/show.php?id=7608

On the machine running straight Ubuntu, when you go to Settings | Appearance | Screensaver Mode and select the Slideshow screensaver and then go to Settings and set it to use an image folder it will let you use network smb shares. However, when I do the same thing on the XBMCbuntu computer, it won't give the option to use smb shares. The only options are: (1) Home Folder, (2) Picture Add-ons and (3) Root File system.

Do I have to go to the Terminal and Mount a CIFS share first before the screensaver slideshow can use a network smb share?

I've searched the wiki and the forum, but not found anyone facing this same issue.

open the Home.xml file of the Quartz skin and add the lines in bold:

it would be great to use an images folder within my local dropbox folder (and be able to add images once the screensaver has kicked in):

is there any way of making this screensaver slideshow check for new images during a slideshow?

reason i ask is because i want to set up my dads xbmc screensaver to use his local dropbox folder. that way i can send any photo up to dropbox at anytime, and it will sync with his computers local dropbox folder and therefore the new photo will be included in his screensaver!

only problem is the last step. the screensaver doesnt check for new images whilst is running, it seems to only check for new images after its been stopped and started again.

i think being able to add photo's to yours or your relatives xbmc screensaver would be a really popular feature. i could be at the zoo and snap a great picture of my kids and it would appear on their grandparents tv screen. perhaps the simplest way would be to add a tick box in the settings that makes the screensaver restart itself every 5 minutes or so?

ronie,

erm, pleeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaasssssseeeeee pretty pretty please?

is there anyway you can get the screensaver to restart itself every ten minutes?

or add an optional setting so that users can choose whether they want it to restart every ten minutes?

i think this would be a massive addition to xbmc, to have a screensaver that was able to keep up with changes to an image folder, (because then we can point it to the local dropbox folder) and grandparents around the globe would love xbmc! live pictures of their childrens children frolicking in the sunshine. think of the joy you could bring to their frail little hearts.

it would then be a live photo frame showing pictures taken half way around the world within seconds!

ronie, you have the chance to make the world a happier place!
