Bugzilla – Bug 1901
now playing scroll when graphic equalizer screen saver is operating.
Last modified: 2011-11-06 23:24:48 UTC
I would like to disable the scroll that occurs every 30-60 seconds when the large graphic equalizer screensaver is enabled.
Created attachment 789 [details] add showtext pref very simple show text when applicable option for the screensavers. If "no" this will disable the repeating nwo playing text every 30-60 seconds. strings may need better wording. This does nothing with the song transition text, which is mentioned in another bug, requesting a full display of the new song.
I'd like this setting to be specific to the individual visualziers (i.e. default off with the vu meters, default on with the spectrum analyzer.)
so would you rather it be a setting within the visualizer plugin only? it could appear under player settings->plugins, and maybe hte player UI under Plugins->screensavers->visualizer
Yes, that would be fine.
Created attachment 813 [details] shotext pref in player settings->plugins
oops, should have mentioned this was interface only. The controls within the vis plugin will take a bit more time.
Created attachment 815 [details] functionality I think this works. The timings are set based on the prefs, so transition text is shown only when desired, or delayed to be during playback only. The plugins API doesn't allow a simple defaults method for player plugins, so there are two sets of code for defaults, in the web setup and in the player ui as the vis mode starts. I've tried to optimise as much as possible since it is called every time. In future, if a large text, showBriefly, is used on transitions, then this framework will work with a small adjustment in the _showTransition callback function.
ok, so next for this is the player UI. I'm guessing this has to be under Plugins->screensavers->Visualizer Screensaver. however, I'm unsure what the Ui shoudl be under there. Many savers have "Select Screensaver Mode", "Config Options" as the top level. I could move the current selection of the three Vis savers into the "select saver mode" and put the show text options (with the new select UI) into the Config. However, I'm open to any instructions on this one.
We'll need to wait on this for 6.5
