Clock Screensaver [Alpha Released] - brantje - 25th Jun, 2013 09:31 PM
So, i found an snippet from Sphere for an python screensaver, using the default skinning engine.
So no more C++ dizzle for screensavers.
I found it weird that there were no nice clock screensavers, so i decided to give it a go.
This was my first python experiment, so carefully opened up the code.
As a result this came out
Features:
- Able to hide the date
- Jumping across screen to prevent burn-ins
- Bounce mode
- Setting a single background image
- Setting a directory for multiple backgrounds (sliding)
- Setting time color
What does not work:
- 12/24 hour (ATM only 24 hour works)
- Skins
Also there will be some skin support so you can make your own clocks.
Download it from Github

New code is on github.
Added clock color and an background image.
Fixes crash on windows and a couple of other bugs.

This looks too tempting to pass over.....
Another one to try over the weekend methinks.
Thanks for sharing.

@brantje, why nop make offiial XBMC repo finally for XBIAN addons? I was (as feasibility study) creating alreadady and it can't by easier to maintain of update.
currently is there the ABMEER skin with XBIANMOD. repo installed which currently points to myself again. Even
check our repo repo "xbian-xbmc-repositorfy", you can directly grab the ZIP file and install.

Glad you like it =).
@mk01, the plugin will be soon official repo ready
RE: Clock Screensaver [Alpha Released] - mk01 - 30th Aug, 2013 05:47 AM
ok, let me know then. We will move AMBER to you, you will change the three http:// lines in repo .xml and will run this https://github.com/xbianonpi/xbian-xbmc-repository/blob/master/addons_xml_generator.py script ( the script is going around the dir where started - each unpacked addon add to index file, will update each addons.xlm file to the data from repo.xml and that's whole story. zero efford and users are just dowbnladiubg and installing .zip for first time, since tghen all goes auto. even if repo moved, stoppedm later started ....
ad the amber you don't need to get from my, simply clone the amber from git https://github.com/xbianonpi/skin.amber ... and rerun the script. the only rule is, all addoins which are supposed to9 be part f repo, needs \ to be inside the sane folder.

I love it
its the perfect screensaver for me.Is anyway i can change the background to other color than black without using a image? Full black is the state that stresses the LCD matrix the most :/ .
Also a suggestion if you can implement: Can you put the RSS reader to display along with the clock? That would be sweet
Thks for all the work mate
RE: Clock Screensaver [Alpha Released] - brantje - 1st Oct, 2013 09:11 PM
Background color is possible, but why not use an image?

Hi again
The screensaver stop working in the RC1 version... when it "starts" its just show a black screen and crashes XBMC... have to SSH login and restart the service.
Any idea if its just me or is this a known issue?
thks
RE: Clock Screensaver [Alpha Released] - mk01 - 3rd Apr, 2014 10:08 PM
@Exnor,
there is no special XBMC version shipped with RC1 as with B2. And I don't have Frodo anymore to test, but the screensaver (after dependency fix) works with no issues under Gotham (RPI / MacOS). Can you provide "cut" from debug log at the time you hit preview until XBMC crashes?
also what version you have ? at last I posted few crash related fixes (on start, exit, etc).
on XBian Addon XBMC repo should be actual version.
