CBers 6770 Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Great stuff Chess. Did the option to use your Photo library for the screensaver make it in this release please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chessdragon136 677 Posted February 1, 2015 Author Share Posted February 1, 2015 Yes, there's 2 screensaver settings: Screensaver Image Source - Either Photos in Media Library or TV/Film Images Screensaver Timeout - Set time until screensaver kicks in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marvin V. 2 Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 (edited) hi, i just wanted to tell you that this version works with my tv again (I'm the guy with the 0.526 problems ) great work! Edited February 2, 2015 by Marvin V. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBers 6770 Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 (edited) Just updated. Nice work Chess. What is the refresh of images in the screensaver? Could it be set by the user in future? Could you overlay exif data as well, such as date taken? I'm assuming that images are totally random? Thanks. .

chessdragon136 677 Posted February 2, 2015 Author Share Posted February 2, 2015 I can make the scroll time an option easily enough - 5 minute job. Overlays are possible IF i can work out how to get the HTML element to sit on top of the image player - unlike the video player it seems to always sit on top of any html. If i can work that out then yes as i want to do that for image viewing as well. Images are totally random, the server request basically asks for all photos sorted by random and limit to 200 (as I don't want to pull everything!! gets too large and slow) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBers 6770 Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Thanks Chess. So only 200 Photos at a time will randomly be displayed, then they will be repeated? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chessdragon136 677 Posted February 2, 2015 Author Share Posted February 2, 2015 Yeah, though I'll bump it to 500 - after that you really should stop watching the screensaver and use the app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to use the screensaver as a photo player as can't find one for Samsung Smart TVs. I have ~30,000 photos in my collection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBers 6770 Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Just had a strange occurrence. Just resumed playback on an item and then all of a sudden, the screen kicked in. Has only happened the once, so far, but thought I'd mention it I case others see it. I have my screensaver set to start after 1 minute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrostByte 5049 Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Something similar happened to me once also at just under 5 minutes into an episode. Screen saver kicked in, but it just stayed on the first pic and never changed. I hit the return button and resumed the episode and it never happened again. Played 3 others episodes and never saw the issue again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chessdragon136 677 Posted February 2, 2015 Author Share Posted February 2, 2015 Sounds like a timer isn't cleared down somewhere.. Not sure where though but I'll add a proper on and off variable so even if the timer isn't cleared it still wont show. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TolkienBard 54 Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 (edited) The updates are just flying out these days. I like the new settings functionality. Good stuff. So far no issues on my end, though it has seen very limited use so far. Until a few days ago, I was still on .515.

crashkelly 62 Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Thanks for all the work and the updates, appreciated. Have a question though, when you are a dumbass like me and forget to change "save password" to false when you login, how do you get rid of the saved password? Selecting "logout" from the Tools pop-out menu does not clear it. Thanks CrashKelly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamES 890 Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Having just installed 5.45, I now cannot play many items on an ES8000 series. Some items will play, some will not, and the ones that won't play is consistent. (ie: it will always plays or will never play) I just get a black screen that says Loading in the top RHS. I can't exit this screen, but can only exit directly out of the app. I can't quite narrow down codecs or containers etc. But as anyone else seen this problem. All versions previous to this have been fine. @Chessdragon, anything I should check? I've removed the app, pulled plug from the wall and reinstalled with default settings but no change.

chessdragon136 677 Posted February 3, 2015 Author Share Posted February 3, 2015 Yeah thats a common app crash at the moment as I've altered a lot of the playback. I thought I had it resolved but alas not. My apologies. Are you able to host a bad video file to my Onedrive folder I linked yesterday? I can then go investigate.

CBers 6770 Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Not sure when this occurred, but when I press the INFO button during playback, I only get the TV show name. Before,I'm sure it used to be TV show name and episode name. Also, the HOME page needs a refresh when returning from playback if you've paused the video so it is resumable, as they don't appear unless you press tools->home. Thanks.
