I was able to edit my favourites.xml file and add in this line:

Code:

<favourites>
    <favourite name="SlideShow ScreenSaver">ActivateWindow(12900,&quot;/storage/.xbmc/addons/script.screensaver.multi_slideshow/screensaver.py/&quot;)</favourite>
</favourites>

I am now able to assign this favourite which is named "SlideShow ScreenSaver" to a menu item in Aeon MQ5 and when I click on this menu item the Multi SlideShow ScreenSaver is now launched!

However I have the same problem as with that JSON command to launch the screensaver, when I press exit (back) on the remote control to exit the screensaver I just get a blank / black screen and I am unable to exit back to the XBMC main menu. Seems like a bug in Frodo V12.2 to me ?

Also pressing backspace or esc on the keyboard and I am also unable to exit the screensaver and get a blank screen.

The add-on was only developed to be started as screensaver. It exits itself when the OnScreenSaverDeactivated-Event is fired which doesn't happen when started manually.
I will add code to let the add-on also exit on ESC/Backspace etc.

You will have to wait for the next version, I will drop a note here when its ready.
Thanks!

Hi

I can also confirm that this line below, in the favourites.xml file also works OK and launches the Multi SlideShow ScreenSaver from a skin menu item.

Code:

<favourites>
       <favourite name="Slideshow Screensaver">ActivateWindow(10025,"special://profile/addons/script.screensaver.multi_slideshow/screensaver.py")</favourite>
</favourites>

But I still have the same issue of then not being able to then exit the screensaver properly and get stuck on a blank screen, if it has been launched in this manner rather than how it would normally be initiated.

Not sure if this is an issue with XBMC Frodo v12.2 or the Multi SlideShow ScreenSaver add-on or what ?

Thanks

Just read my reply above.

Hello,
good work Sphere I love this screensaver!

could you had in the wish list :
- possibility to exclude a directory by name? (my NAS create a directory with thumbnail...)
- an option that keep picture original ratio, photo are generaly in 3:2 and screen in 16:9

Good Idea, I will add a setting where you can enter excluded file patterns (whit some common defaults).
The problem with the wrong aspect-ratio is a bug in Frodo. It should work in Gotham.

Thanks all for your feedback!
