Hi
I've done a little write up about this add-on on my blog
here
Some issues:
So I start music playback and then launch the screensaver from the Program add-ons area of XBMC and after a period of time, my screen dims out, not sure how to stop it doing this?
Also if I right click the Multi SlideShow ScreenSaver in the Program add-ons list and from the context menu I select Add to favourites, I then added this new system created favourite, to my Pictures sub-menu in MQ5. If I launch the screen saver via this favourite it also dims my screen after a period of time.
When I was launching the screensaver as the favourite I manually created previously, by editing the favourites.xml file, I don't recall it doing this and dimming the screen.
Also can you not select TV Show fanart as an option? Just wondered.
Many thanks
EDIT: I can confirm if launching the screensaver by the manual favourites methods I described on page 4
here, then the screen
does not auto dim out. (But then I can not exit the screensaver).
If I launch the screensaver from the XBMC Program add-ons list or by a system generated favourite, then the screen
does dim out. (But I can exit the screensaver using the ESC button).
Also noticed that rebooting the HTPC in between testing each type of favourite is required, to give true outcomes and if the screen gets dimmed or not.
System Generated Favourite:
Code:
<favourite name="Multi Slideshow Screensaver" thumb="/storage/.xbmc/addons/script.screensaver.multi_slideshow/icon.png">RunScript("script.screensaver.multi_slideshow")</favourite>
My Manual Favourite:
Code:
<favourite name="Slideshow Screensaver Manual">ActivateWindow(12900,"special://profile/addons/script.screensaver.multi_slideshow/screensaver.py")</favourite>
Thanks
