This screensaver is configured for every skin separately since it has to use Fonts defined by the skin!

Skin developers have an option to use script-screensaver-digitalclock-custom.xml in their skins 1080i,720p... folder.
They should provide and maintain that xml file with their skin!
Screensaver will check for skin folders in this order: 1080i,720p, 21x9 16x9, 4x3Hirez.
If no script-screensaver-digitalclock-custom.xml is found screensaver will look for an appropriate xml file within screensavers folder.
If there is no appropriate xml file it will use skin.default.xml

List of supported skins (If the skin is in the official repository it will be supported):
Adonic
Aeon Nox 5
Aeon MQ5
Aeon MQ6
Amber
AppTV
Arctic: Zephyr
Bello 6
Black Glass Nova
Box
Chroma
Confluence
Eminence.2
Estouchy
Estuary
(Fuse)neue
Metropolis
Mimic
Nebula
Omni
OSMC
Pellucid
Phenomenal
Rapier
Retouched
Revolve
Titan (Default testing skin!)
Transparency
Unity

If your skin is not on the list, and you would like it to be - send me a message.

(Screenshot would be great including which language you are using and how many letters are supposed to be on the screen).
Everything else should work just fine, let me know if you encounter any bugs or issues.

excuse me. Can I add an Arctic: Zephyr 2 skin to 1920x1080? Or how can I do it myself.

Does not work

I just tested it and it works just fine.
Keep in mind that the folder for the skin has to be skin.arctic.zephyr.2
If you're downloading this skin from the GitHub directly the folder name will be different. Example: skin.arctic.zephyr.2-0.9.60-alpha1
In order for the screensaver to detect which skin is being used and then apply proper file for the fonts the skin name must be in the official format (this is used when you download the skin from the Kodi repo): skin.arctic.zephyr.2

Rename the skin folder to match what I wrote above and restart Kodi.
Keep in mind that this might jumble up your skin related settings.

Hello to all!

I would like to report a strange behaviour.

I am running latest raspbian on  a raspberry pi 3, Kodi 18.7 and Quartz skin.

Every time I return to Kodi menu from the screen saver, Kodi restarts (!!).
Only Kodi that is; not the whole pi.

Is this a known issue?
I just noticed that Quartz skin is not listed as supported. It is however in the official repo.

Any input would be helpful.

Cheers!

A fully enabled debug log (wiki) of your troubled Kodi device is always welcome. In case of Kodi crashes, also provide the kodi.old.log file.

None of this should be an issue, so I'm puzzled why this is happening on your end.
I've ran this screensaver on RPI2, RPI3 and now on RPI4 without any issues.
We'll see when Kodi 19 is released how things will work as some things have changed which may/may not brake the screensaver.

The supported skins are the ones for which I had to create files that relate to the skins declared fonts, nothing else. So even if the skin is not on the list the screensaver will work, the fonts just might be ugly.
If you know how to provide a debug log feel free to and I'll check it out, maybe I spot something.

Hi and thanks for the responses guys!

Here are my logs: (I have taken out sensitive data)
kodi.log
kodi.old.log
kodi.crash.log

I think there is nothing in the kodi.log (due to the crash).

FYI
Those are Greek channels in TvHeadend!!

I didn't spot anything in your logs (I'm not an expert so someone else might be able to see something that I've missed).

What settings are you using in the screensaver?
Does Kodi restart even if there's nothing playing in the background?

FYI, I also reviewed the logs and have thoroughly tested dcs with quartz across multiple configs including raspbian pi3. I can find no fault with your add-on or my skin.

Well honestly guys I don't know what else to tell you.

The settings are pretty basic. Only additional info is weather from yahoo add-on. The position of the screensaver info is changing every 60 seconds in static mode (eg not bouncing).

Kodi restarts WHENEVER I hit any button while showing the screensaver.
It actually happens even when previewing the screensaver from Shell settings!

The good thing is that the restart only takes like 15 seconds but still...

Would any targeted log help?

I tried "Dim" and "Black" and it comes back normally.
