Screensaver slideshow bug - vane.xbmc - 2010-04-20
Hi,
Screensaver slideshow doesn work for me. I select "slideshow" and then I select "screensaver preview" and then XBMC hangs.
I put xbmc.log in http://pastebin.com/REHeik84. It shows some errors.
Some information:
- Tested XBMC Camelot (9.11) and trunk (rev 29377).
- Ubuntu karmic (9.10).
- Used ./configure without options.
Another issue is that the screensaver works in arm_camelot branck on a beagleboard!
I tried to report the bug but I couldn't.
Regards,
Vane.

Sorry, I had to select the slideshow folder, otherwise it hangs.

I tried to create a new ticket but the result was:
Error: Forbidden
TICKET_CREATE privileges are required to perform this operation
Is this the way to report a bug? I've read http://wiki.xbmc.org/?title=HOW-TO_Submit_a_Proper_Bug_Report.

Ok, now I can report a bug, but this one is not a bug, it's solved. You have to select a picture folder.
Thanks!

It is a bug. If you don't select a folder it should not hang.

Mmm, I'm not sure...
If you select a non-pictures folder (a folder when you have other type of documents) and you you select "screensaver preview", xbmc seems to hang but it doesn't. If you leave it alone for a while (some seconds), then it responds again (I've discovered this today) and then it shows some pictures that I don't know where they are but I'm pretty sure they aren't in the folder you have selected.
I think I need more test. If I'll discover something, I'll post it here and if, finally, is a bug, I'll report it.
Thank you.
