RE: Kaster - A chromecast-like screensaver for Kodi - Peekstra - 2018-11-10
Thanks for this nice screensaver!
I was monitoring the Kodi log for something else but I noticed the following entry:
12:34:41.948 T:2401489664 WARNING: CPythonInvoker(441, /home/osmc/.kodi/addons/screensaver.kaster/entrypoint.py): the python script "/home/osmc/.kodi/addons/screensaver.kaster/entrypoint.py" has left several classes in memory that we couldn't clean up. The classes include: N14PythonBindings42XBMCAddon_xbmcgui_WindowXMLDialog_DirectorE,N14PythonBindings31XBMCAddon_xbmc_Monitor_DirectorE
When searching the log I noticed several identical entries on irregular intervals like 15 minutes and up to 6 hours.
I guess this might lead to memory issues in the long run?
Here's a copy of my settings if you want to take a further look:
<setting id="animation" value="0" />
<setting id="hide-clock-info" value="true" />
<setting id="hide-kodi-logo" value="true" />
<setting id="hide-overlay" value="true" />
<setting id="hide-pic-info" value="true" />
<setting id="hide-weather-info" value="true" />
<setting id="my-pictures-folder" value="" />
<setting id="screensaver-mode" value="0" />
<setting id="show-blackbackground" value="false" />
<setting id="wait-time-before-changing-image" value="20" />
thanks!

FYI, your two images in the opening post are not / no longer working. Perhaps using imgur.com is an easier option. Use the 'i' button in the editor for auto-uploading your images.

Thanks @Klojum, updated the first post. Thanks for the imgur tip I was not aware of it

You're welcome. And also, I have the Dutch translation for the Kaster screensaver for you.
Sorry to say, I'm (still) not a Github hero, but you can pick up the .po file here via a Kodi paste.

I also need to check how to automatically add transifex translations to my addons. I remember there was a presentation about it in one of the devcons

Hi, I like more Weblate.

Here are the additions for the addon.xml file:
xml:<summary lang="nl_NL">Een Chromecast-achtige screensaver voor Kodi</summary>
<description lang="nl_NL">Toon prachtige afbeeldingen afkomstig van de Chromecast screensaver. Je kunt ook je eigen foto's tonen met al hun informatie.</description>
And yes, using Transifex would be more consistent with other addons. Although the number of text strings for Kaster is minimal, it's perhaps a good exercise/practice for you when doing larger projects.

v1.2.3 (11/11/2018)
[new] add dutch translation (tks klojum)
RE: Kaster - A chromecast-like screensaver for Kodi - Klojum - 2018-11-11
I have just one more "complaint"
When running Kodi on a 21:9 monitor, the Kodi logo is a bit 'stretched'. It's minimal, but hey... I'm testing.
I just thought I'd let you know of this cosmetic difference, it's no biggie really. I'll probably disable the Kodi logo during the screensaver anyway.

One more thing... I don't see any difference between "Fade" and "Pan & Zoom".
I think that only Fade works. Tested on a Nvidia GT1030 machine as well as an ancient Core2Duo G965 Intel graphics machine.

Those nice Google pictures would also be an excellent source for the background picture in the Xonfluence skin. However, when I looked into the addondata folders I found no picture files. Perhaps they're stored somewhere else?
It would be even better if the pictures would be deleted after a couple of days so that the skin can cycle through them. However, I realize that this would take some coding effort and thus valuable time...

Hello, I think this screensaver is very good, what I'm missing is auto rotation of the pictures and what I've been looking for a long time is the support for animated gifs. Would it be possible to install such things? Thanks
Edit:
I add gif Support and Animation is Working.

One other request: move the info section in the right button around, just a little bit, enough to avoid screen burn-in temptations. Looking at the current location, there should be enough room to move that info section around.
