Bugzilla – Bug 1053
Ability to cycle through multiple screensavers.
Last modified: 2011-11-06 23:22:40 UTC
It would be nice if the ablity to choose and cycle through multiple screensavers was implemented. E.G. I would like to see the time, some RSS feeds, and (if something is playing) now playing. This could be done with a selector like that for fonts or RSS feeds. Some settings would include screensaver, order, time to display, etc.
looks like a great opportunity for an enthusiastic plugin developer :)
Marking items that aren't going to be addressed immediately in 6.1 as future. Please update if this is in error or the bug has already been addressed.
i guess this is similar to what i want to do... every song, or every few songs, i would like the SS to cycle thru those SS's i like. so, spectrum, analog vu, etc... basically, just something to automate some variety to the SS. i would prefer it not happen mid song however.
It would be greate if Now Playing info were displayed at the begining and end of a track and then return to the existing screensaver
Have you looked at my SaverSwitcher plugin? http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/SaverSwitcher.html
Daryle, have you looked at SaverSwitcher? Does it address your desires, or do you think this bug should remain open as an enhancement request for SqueezePlay and the Controller?
Sorry for missing your first request for a comment on the plugin. To be honest I don't yearn for this functionality anymore. It's been almost 4 years since I filed this enhancement and wouldn't rate it very high. I have not had a chance to look at your plugin and probably won't for a while. Hell who am I kidding, it may be never given my backlog of other chores and tasks. ;-) I just wish they hadn't broken the autodisplay, dimming, plugin which was the main one I really used. Anyhow sorry again to have not got back the first time and someone can close (if the plugin does most of the job) or deprioritize this enhancement request at their discretion.
well i disagree... first of all, i still want this. secondly, randomization of the visual display of a SB should be a no-brainer, and not plugin dependent. thirdly, i would like to have it be set-able as to when it changes, and also be able to have it do "now playing" for the first 30secs of a song or so, (and that too should be optional, as should the length).
Dean doesn't work here any more :)
Unassigned bugs cannot have a priority.
