PCH Screen saver possibility

[mvallevand]

Here is my screen saver playlist which must be called /etc/mvpmc/mvpmc_ss.pls

Code:

5|8||/etc/mvpmc/theme/deepblue-1280x720/slide/slide1.jpg|
5|8||/etc/mvpmc/theme/deepblue-1280x720/slide/slide2.jpg|
5|8||/etc/mvpmc/theme/deepblue-1280x720/slide/slide3.jpg|
5|8||/etc/mvpmc/theme/deepblue-1280x720/slide/slide4.jpg|
5|8||/etc/mvpmc/theme/deepblue-1280x720/slide/slide5.jpg|
5|8||/etc/mvpmc/theme/deepblue-1280x720/slide/slide6.jpg|
5|8||/etc/mvpmc/theme/deepblue-1280x720/slide/slide7.jpg|
5|8||/etc/mvpmc/theme/deepblue-1280x720/slide/slide8.jpg|

The ugly fish files are taken from the Syabas app

"\Program Files\myiHome\webapps\ROOT\theme"

I found 14 high res images I am using for these slides in case anyone is interested... The zip is 2.25 MB, though. Bigger than the allowed zip upload.

Martin, I hate to sound like a pest or anything... but is it possible to use both --no-nmt-gui for net radio and --nmt-gui-ss for music library or have --no-nmt-gui return to the music library page if it was started from the music library?

Also, perhaps another issue, but Play All worked on my istar after the latest firmware until recently. I don't know what else changed except for this newest patch. I will test on the PH to see what happens.

I'm still waiting for other usage feedback on these experimental options before fine-tuning them. Play All still works for me with or without the screen saver.

Honestly, I didn't think this feature would win any popularity contests or I would have just released an update instead of the demo. Right now I am trying to find out if it is even worth going to the trouble of documenting. I think it could be made a little better by replacing the popcorn background (which is is easy) but it certainly isn't eye-candy. But it might still be a necessity for some.

On a side note my wife prefers the fading photo slide show in WMC to GB-PVR's and I don't, so some of this is personal preference. If Syabas provide me with a way to turn off the fade I would.

psycik, yes mvpmcx can regain control, in fact I'm test MLPanel with Internet radio and it works pretty well. There's a couple of big caveats here so you should read about the HDMI problem here http://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php?t=34830

Even if that is resolved (very unlikely) or non-HDMI audio is used, it doesn't help ML2 unless sub does some work on getting the current song info from the recording service to pvrx2.exe. If multiple mvp' server were being auto-started this would require some thought.

id like to use it just to save my tv from burn in but dont no how. also i know you didnt wanna combine the startmeup and telnetd scripts but is it possible just to have telnetd startup with pch eliminating one step to get to gbpvr?

Could you elaborate on what options you are trying and what isn't working.

A third script is on my todo list.
