This is the exception that I get, the InFocus source stopped working now also:

Same here, none of the sources work anymore for me. I'm running Kodi v14 (Helix.) Are there any other similar screensavers? Or any hope for this one to be updated?

Hi,
Love the screensaver. Any chance of seeing 1080p pictures pulled in from the bbc source and others mentioned? Also, any way to change the whole screen instead of just the image part. My plasma screen is not being "saved" if you catch my drift Smile


Keep up the good work.

Thanks so much sphere! Very happy to have this excellent screensaver back. It's working great on Kodi on my FireTV Stick.

Much appreciated.

One issue I'm seeing is the dueling text titles, one in white and another in blue right on top of it. Is there a way to remove one?

I'm currently working on a version that supports an alternative simpler view, where you see more artwork and less text.
Also thinking about trying to add a clock.

Added a new scraper for some internally configured reddit pictures also. That's actually waiting to be merged, not sure if it will be accepted.

Which Skin do you use? What is your XBMC/Kodi Resolution?

Yes I already saw your PR - looks good. I didn't have the time yet for a detail look and test.
But thanks in advance! Smile

Your welcome.

I'll follow it up with a pr from here https://github.com/Razzeee/script.screen...igpictures but I probably need a skinner to get where I want to be for the simple layout.

Razze (uses Confluence 'WeatherTemp' font)

Edit: Tested in:

Confluence (no issue)
Aeon Nox (alignment issues, occurs with unmodified version)
Arctic: Zephyr (skin is missing default font replacements)
Blac Glass Nova (skin is missing default font replacements)
BOX (skin is missing default font replacements)
Conq (skin is missing default font replacements)
Eminence (skin is missing default font replacements)
Maximinimalism (skin is missing default font replacements)
Mimic (same issue as Aeon Nox)
Nebula (skin is missing default font replacements)
Rapier (skin is missing default font replacements)
reFocus (skin is missing default font replacements)
Xperience1080 (no issue)

Hmm, that pretty much rules out the below option.

An updated simple theme as discussed, I've also sent you a PM.

In my current branch you can switch between the simple one and yours. But we can just delete that.

The problem with the above is the font... I haven't read anything about including fonts with add-on skins - is that possible?
