Hi Millhouse,

After update from #1219 to #1220 lircd stopped working. Tried "irw" from SSH but there wasn't any response too. I think it's related with "No longer load lirc_rpi module by default" but don't know how to configure it. Can you give me any directions?

See this post.

Try adding to /flash/config.txt:

Code:

dtoverlay=lirc-rpi

If you need the parameters, add those too.

Thanks for that. Works now.

What screensaver are you using? auto-scrolling will be disabled when the Black or Dim screensaver activates. So if you haven't enabled a screensaver, enable either Black or Dim.

And 70C is well within range for a Pi.

Okay, I didn't know that. I've disabled any screensaver so that might be a "real" work around, instead of every time remembering to go back to the home screen after having finished watching a video file.
Thanks!

edit: Does not work here with me. Using dim screensaver I can see it does not stop scrolling, using black screen "top" says 75% cpu usage, so doesn't seem to work either. latest build #1220

Hi, Bit new to OpenELEC as I'm a recent convert from RaspBMC ....

How do you get XBox360 wireless gamepad support going please? RBMC uses 'xboxdrv' whereas I understand OpenELEC uses 'xpad'?

My Pi recognises the fact I have a Microsoft wireless remote device - but the four lights just keep flashing and none of the buttons work... I have added the .xml file to /keymaps/ but no difference. I notice there is no control any more for enabling joystick support?

Sorry to have to ask - but there is so much conflicting information in the forums .......

Cheers,
David.

Hmmm... yes... it used to work!

[menakite]

Only for textboxes, for overflowing labels the cleanest solution seems to check the screensaver in https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/blob/master...t.cpp#L114 (so that it also works for RSS etc.) and return early, or at least I guess so.

[Milhouse]

Yes, it only seems to stop the plot scrolling, but not a long movie/episode title in a list view, or when a movie/episode with long title is highlighted in the Recently Added widget.

Please try this in your next build: https://clbin.com/shzhJ
It did the trick in my 7 (seven) seconds test on OS X.

Tested, and it's working great - many thanks!

I assume the earlier scrolling/screensaver commit (the CGUITextBox:rocess part) is no longer required after this?

I'll confirm this later (just doing a clean build) but the original patch seemed to stop the plot from scrolling, perhaps this latest fix covers all scenarios.

Yes, looked to me like the new patch stops *any* test from scrolling, so makes the textbox one redundant (although you still need the CApplication::GetScreenSaverId part of it).
Not tested it though.

(although I've just fixed up newclock4 to remove the part I think is not required, so you can test that).
