Full length videos don't continue

Open marijnkampf opened this issue 7 years ago • 0 comments

Oh, and one more thing. I may have discovered a bug that occurs when I choose to include videos at their full length. This errant behavior does not occur when I choose “random selection of video”.

I have three monitors, and I’ve chosen two file folders (including subfolders) as my content source. One of the folders just has *.mp4 files.

While the screensaver is running, whenever a video comes up on one of the screens, that screen will no longer change to the next picture. So, if screens 1 and 2 have pictures while screen 3 has a video. The video runs (for the full video length). While it is running 1 and 2 continue to change. When 3’s video is done, it just sits there frozen. I can hit the right-arrow, and it will advance all three screens to the next image. But then, when X seconds have elapsed, screens 1 and 2 have automatically gone on to the next image while screen 3 stays frozen on whatever image it changed to. [I just chose 3 here as an example. The same behavior occurs on any screen that has a video pop up.

As the screensaver continues to run, eventually screens 1 and 2 will get videos … and when they do, they display the same behavior … no more changes (unless the right arrow is hit … and even then, it won’t change further without additional arrow hits).

If you have any ideas about I can fix this behavior let me know … otherwise, this is just an FYI.

And, please read my prior message (below) for questions regarding filename colors for text and background and about “drop shadows”.
