CBers 6770 Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 (edited) Just updated to v0.560 but neither the screensaver starts or the photos play. Both were working in v0.550b. Edited February 14, 2015 by CBers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chessdragon136 677 Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Sorry but I can't replicate this - Please post the item info of a photo you are trying to display, and the menus you are trying to load the photo from. @@cragjagged this may have to be you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBers 6770 Posted February 14, 2015 Author Share Posted February 14, 2015 (edited) The screensaver does not start at all.I'm pressing play when I have the photos Media Folder highlighted but nothing.Nothing happens if I select a single photo either.It's not just a particular photo, but everything.Are you saying that you can play photos OK on your TV and that the screensaver starts? .

CBers 6770 Posted February 14, 2015 Author Share Posted February 14, 2015 I've tried the Images from Media Folders as well as my Photos folder in the screensaver settings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chessdragon136 677 Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Can you go into the metadata manager and tell me if your photos you are trying to play have dates in the Date Added & Release Date fields Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBers 6770 Posted February 14, 2015 Author Share Posted February 14, 2015 (edited) Can you go into the metadata manager and tell me if your photos you are trying to play have dates in the Date Added & Release Date fields Date added yes, but there is nothing in the Release Date field for a lot of my photos: I only recently added my Photos to MB3 again when the screensaver was released that could play them. .

FrostByte 5049 Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Screen saver is working on my tv. I do not have my pictures set up yet in MB, just displaying movie thumbs/backdrops. The text is still delayed in changing in the new position at the bottom though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chessdragon136 677 Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Thanks, looks like my hunch was right - Cant test myself but think its fixed for next release @@cragjagged - In future, please check if a server variable is not undefined before using it 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CBers 6770 Posted February 14, 2015 Author Share Posted February 14, 2015 v0.560a now has photo playback and screensaver working. Where does the date/time that is overlayed onto the photos come from? I ask as it's not displayed for all of the photos displayed so want to check. Also, can the overlayed info be made smaller? To me, it's a little too big. Is the colon separating the date time necessary? Could it be a space instead, or at least an underscore. Thanks for the quick fix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBers 6770 Posted February 14, 2015 Author Share Posted February 14, 2015 OK, just found the info about the date/time options (red button). Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know - I don't know how the server populates this data 2. The size use the subtitle sizes - change those in settings. 3. Use the red button.

The size use the subtitle sizes - change those in settings. 3. Use the red button. 1. OK, will check a few photos metadata. It must be the Release Date field bring "undefined". 2. Default is 30px, but if I change to smallest option available, 26th, there's not a great deal of difference. 3. See above. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, it's the Release Date field. If I add one, then the date is displayed over the photo. Off to speak to Luke and/or Eric! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chessdragon136 677 Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Oh yeah sorry - the app uses the release data - The only other date field filled in is the date added, which i assume is when it was added to the library Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaN 47 Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 The option works very well after the update Using the previous release, I checked different photo collections and noticed the app was cashing the thumbnails at the first time I entered the photo folder , some collections which were cashed already in previous session worked, but ones which was cashing slowly (apparently because of the size of the image was very big) they didn't play at all That is fixed now with the new release, Thanks @@chessdragon136 DaN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you want me to create a new thread? I use date only, but when I exit and re-enter the app, it reverts to date & time. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the end of the world if it's not possible to do. . Edited February 17, 2015 by CBers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cragjagged 44 Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 My thought was to just have the current used setting persist rather than expos it directly in the settings of the app 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
