Picture Viewer shows pictures alpha blended on top of Photo Screen Saver

[mathieu]

Hi All,

I just followed this wiki http://wiki.linuxmce.com/index.php/Picture_Viewer.
It works, except the pictures are alpha blended on top of the Photo Screen Saver which makes it unusable.

A search in the forum didn't bring up anything.
I there a way to correct this?

I tested it and ran into the same problem, I think the screen saver needs to be blanked out or splashed with a black screen when the picture viewer is started. Not sure if there is a ticket already open for it.

This also affects Web Browsing & other computing Apps... they do not disable the pss when they are running.

Is this still true on 810?

It was a few months back... but this could have been fixed since that time. The Picture Viewer needs a media type that disables the pss.

guys, you don't read the API close enough.

pay attention to the MediaStream object in Media PlugIn.

If ContainsVideo in your subclass returns true, then the Photo Screen Saver is disabled. Simple as that. Look at my Game and Hulu Plugin's mediastream subclasses.

It should disable the screen saver. Does the screen saver show a static image, or are they zooming and panning as usual?

Thom: The picture viewer uses the standard MediaStream class which has ContainsVideo return true when the media type is the picture type.

Hi,

The Photo Screen Saver shows a static background image. Pictures of the Picture Vieuwer are alpha blended on top and also not full screen.

Would you mind trying out a new version that might solve the problem? Download the new file from  http://hob.dyndns.org/lmce/Picture_Viewer and install it to /usr/pluto/bin on the MD(/hybrid). Reload the router, and test again.

Hi sambuca,

Sure I wanna try, but is it possible the url is wrong?

The requested URL /LinuxMCE/Picture_Viewer was not found on this server.

wtf. I'm sure I put the right one in last time. The url should read / _lmce_ /Picture_Viewer , without the _s

[wierdbeard65]

I can confirm that the URL does read that and doesn't work

HTH

[sambuca]

Yes, it seems our friendly forum decides to replace all _lmce_ with LinuxMCE, very helpfull
