paulpanzer1968 3 Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Dear Supporter, Please be informed that the BackDropScreen Saver didn't work right. When I try only covers one by one came up. The Cover Screen Saver works fine. Do you have an idea why ? Thank you very much in advance. Stephan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14913 Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 You can only have one plug-in screen saver installed at a time. If you want the Backdrop one, then un-install the Cover one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulpanzer1968 3 Posted February 9, 2014 Author Share Posted February 9, 2014 Yes I know, but the BackDrop Screen Saver don't started and the Screen freeze then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14913 Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 You said the cover screen saver was kicking in. Now you say the screen freezes. Is this after you un-installed the cover screen saver? Are you using the latest version of the Backdrop screen saver? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulpanzer1968 3 Posted February 9, 2014 Author Share Posted February 9, 2014 Yes, I un-installed the Cover Screen Saver and then the Screen freezes when the Backdrop Screen Saver wants to start. I use the latest version of the Backdrop Screen saver ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14913 Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 And what version is that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulpanzer1968 3 Posted February 9, 2014 Author Share Posted February 9, 2014 2.0.0.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14913 Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Okay, can you please define "Screen freezes"? Does that mean you cannon navigate away from it? May I please see an MBC log when this happens? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulpanzer1968 3 Posted February 10, 2014 Author Share Posted February 10, 2014 Yes, I use the Subdued Theme and when I open the Media Browser classic the covers scroll down and I set the Screensaver to one Minute. After one Minute the cover scroll down stopped and the screen is a little bit dark then before and I only can close the Browser, nothing else. I will sent you the MBC log this evening from home. Should I attach the MBC log as a txt File ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14913 Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Just attach the log to a post in here. But, I think Subdued has its own screen saver. Can you try with either Chocolate or Classic and see if it is the same? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulpanzer1968 3 Posted February 10, 2014 Author Share Posted February 10, 2014 (edited) It is the same with the classic theme. Please find my log file : I don't find the attach documents button. Edited February 10, 2014 by paulpanzer1968 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14913 Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 That is a server log. I need the MBC log. See the post on how to report a problem to find it. Plus, don't try and paste the contents in here it will be too big. Attach it. Zip it if it is too big. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ebr 14913 Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 I don't see any problems there. The first thing I would try is to update MBC to 127. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdrianW 1052 Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 (edited) I just installed the backdrop screensaver (2.0.0.1) in MBC and the only issue I see is that the titles it shows are the name of the containing folder. So, as I have backdrops in season folders and special folders, I'll often get an image with the title "Season 1" or "Specials" which isn't all that useful. Any chance of showing the show name when the backdrop comes from a TV folder? I'm pretty sure the backdrop screen saver for MB2 would show the correct show name. Also, I think @@mentasm's idea to use the logo.png, if it exists, is a good one. Edited February 11, 2014 by AdrianW 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14913 Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 The MB2 version just didn't show season backdrops and that's probably what I'll have this do as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdrianW 1052 Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 The MB2 version just didn't show season backdrops and that's probably what I'll have this do as well. That's a shame as there's a lot of season artwork that will be skipped. But, then again I never really noticed that it wasn't showing in MB2, so I think that's a reasonable compromise. Is there any chance of including the logo.png idea? I wonder if superimposing a static image over a zooming image is trickier than just showing text. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14913 Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 It's not that tricky it is just a matter of finding time to work on stuff like this. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pagali 62 Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 I can highly recommend the way the screensaver in Subdued handles it... there's a checklist in their screensaver config section to check or uncheck pulling backdrops from your various collections... Movies, TV, Home Videos, etc etc... whatever collections you have. I can certainly see the value to this, especially if somebody had an Adult collection! Can you imagine having backdrops from that one popping up when the family's viewing??? Eek! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulpanzer1968 3 Posted February 13, 2014 Author Share Posted February 13, 2014 So , I helped myself by deletion and re-installation a lot , the Backdrop Screen Saver run again :-) Thank you very much again for your support and helb. The tools are very nice and great :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mentasm 43 Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 I've only just started noting some backdrops showing up with 'Season 1' etc and the caption. Pretty sure it didn't use to do that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The logos look really good - great work there. But, there's always a but, - it looks like when it shows a backdrop from a season folder I'm getting the text "Unknown" displayed. So, I basically get a logo.png or "Unknown". It was showing "unknown" for some shows that definitely have logo.png files in the main show folder. (I have all metadata and images saved locally to the video folders). Edited February 18, 2014 by AdrianW 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14913 Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 I'm just going to eliminate Seasons. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
