Screensaver/Scrollwrap/logfile - snupple - 2008-08-26

Hi, I have a coup0le of queries:

1) Screensaver, no matter what screensaver I choose in Alpha4 (and 3) it always 'dims', eg, if I have 'black' selected it will dim instead, also the dim amount makes no difference, so dim by 80% still makes it dim by 20% or whatever the default is?

2) How do I stop scrolling in file listing from wrapping ?

3) my xbmc.log gets HUGE, just turning xbmc on and then off and the log files is 53kb, I watched a movie for a couple of hours and it was 9gb!! I have tried loglevel in advanced settings and nothing seems to work, still shows a lot of DEBUG comments in the logifle?

the devs are at least going to have to see some of that log or all of shorter one

1) is this while a video is on screen? i *think* that while a full screen video is paused, the only option is dim, and it may be fixed.

2) the skin controls this. PM3 uses wraplists. i think you need to change the viewtype from wraplist to just list. in PM3, the lists are in the "Common" files.

3) you have a 9 gb log file? are you sure? the only way it would ever get remotely close to that is if samba debugging was also enabled. loglevel 1 should not generate a log that big. it would be interesting to see whats in there to verify what's being logged. please host some snippets on pastebin.

Screensavers aren't ported yet to win32 and therefore disabled.

ah, i didn't realize that. that was based off my xbox experience.

This is just loading xbmc and playing a standard video for a few seconds then exitting.. logifle 58kb:

I have loglevel set to 1 in my advancedsettings, if i remove this line then the "Enable debugging logging" appears in xbmc, so its working

that's normal. xbmc logs a lot of information so we can better respond to user questions and problems. but i cannot believe it produced a 9gb log file. that is just huge. i can believe 9mb, but not 9gb.

(if you define the loglevel in advancedsettings then the gui configuration is hidden. this is normal. if xbmc finds a gui setting in advancedsettings, it removes the option from the gui. the assumption is if you did this, you know what you're doing.)

hmm ok, just seemed like a lot more logging than on the xbox version

there's some additional logging at bootup, but the rest is the same.
