The paratemeter:
slide_duration=30
should decide how many time an image would stay before skip to next.
But if i set this parameter i cannot view changes and the image dalay is always 5seconds.
Somethig wrong ?
Thank you.

Hello polarix,
I cant recreate your issue. Are you using Kiosk 4.1.0? Please login to kiosk through SSH and check if you have this line in /opt/scripts/screensaver-idle-watcher:
Code: Select all
feh -FZr -D30 -S filename /usr/share/screensaver &
"-D30" parameter sets the delay (in seconds) between loading new image.
Thanks.

Hello Fanthom,
No. I'm using the 32bit version (3.7.0)
Now i have understood that this feature is not implemented in this version, as well as the auto-download of zip images.
Have i a solution to use this two features on 32bit system?
Thank you very much.

32bit Kiosk is not developed anymore.
Please upgrade the hardware - BayTrail devices are getting ridiculously cheap now:

If you cant do hw upgrade then i could create a custom build based on 3.7.0 release and implement these two features in it:

Thank you.

Hi fanthom, hi all.
To enable a automatic download of a fresh copy of screensaver images, I have edited the
/opt/porteus-scripts/screensaver-slideshow in the
003-settings.xzm module :
Code: Select all
# Variables:
wget="wget --no-http-keep-alive --no-cache --no-check-certificate"
dlpath="$*"
(
##################### added by polarix #####################
while [ 1 ]; do
#########################################################
# Wait:
sleep 5
# Setup proxy:
. /etc/profile.d/proxy.sh
if [ -e /opt/porteus-scripts/proxy.pac ]; then
proxyc=`pactester -p /opt/porteus-scripts/proxy.pac -u $dlpath | cut -d" " -f2-`
[ "$proxyc" = DIRECT ] && unset http_proxy https_proxy ftp_proxy || export http_proxy="http://$proxyc" https_proxy="http://$proxyc" ftp_proxy="http://$proxyc"
fi
# Download and unpack archive:
dlarch() {
$wget -q -T20 -O /tmp/1.zip $dlpath
unzip -o /tmp/1.zip -d /usr/share/screensaver >/dev/null 2>&1
}
dlarch
[ `ls -1 /usr/share/screensaver | wc -l` -lt 1 ] && dlarch
[ `ls -1 /usr/share/screensaver | wc -l` -lt 1 ] && dlarch
# Fallback to wallpaper:
[ `ls -1 /usr/share/screensaver | wc -l` -lt 1 ] && cp -a /usr/share/wallpapers/* /usr/share/screensaver
# Cleanup:
rm -f /tmp/1.zip
##################### added by polarix #####################
sleep 300 # <--- set auto-download to 5 minutes
done

All works fine and avery five minutes the kiosk donwload the new zip file !
Than i tried the same strategy for the delay between slides.
But at startup the file
opt/porteus-scripts/screensaver-idle-watcher is overwritten, so i have again
-D5 
What process changes the delay value to 5 seconds ?
Than you.

Hello polarix,
There is no such process. Please make sure you have correct path, permissions and that your custom module is activated as very last:
- copy only modified files to a module
- name it as 99-custom.xzm
Should work.

My script is like yours with only one change: "-D15"
It has the same name, is in the same folder and has the same permissions:
opt/porteus-scripts/screensaver-idle-watcher
But after boot i can see that the original script is edited by something:
This is the code if i look without booting the kioks:
Code: Select all
#!/bin/bash
#
# Screensaver idle watcher.
# Author: T.Jokiel <http://porteus-kiosk.org>
SSIDLE=`grep SSIDLE= /etc/xdg/openbox/autostart | cut -d= -f2`
while [ 1 ]; do
idle=$(echo `xprintidle` | sed s/...$//); [ "$idle" ] || idle=1
if [ $idle -gt $SSIDLE ]; then
if [ -z "`pidof ripples`" ]; then
killall ripples imlib2_view 2>/dev/null
imlib2_grab /root/screen.png
imlib2_view /root/screen.png &
sleep 1
ripples -root &
fi
sleep 2
else
[ "`pidof ripples`" ] && killall ripples imlib2_view 2>/dev/null
sleep $(($SSIDLE-$idle))
fi
done
Code: Select all
SSIDLE=`grep SSIDLE= /etc/xdg/openbox/autostart | cut -d= -f2`
while [ 1 ]; do
idle=$(echo `xprintidle` | sed s/...$//); [ "$idle" ] || idle=1
if [ $idle -gt $SSIDLE ]; then
if [ -z "`pidof feh`" ]; then
hhpc &
feh -FZr -D5 /usr/share/screensaver &
fi
sleep 2
else
[ "`pidof feh`" ] && { killall feh hhpc; sleep 1; killall -9 feh hhpc 2>/dev/null; eval `grep hhpc /etc/xdg/openbox/autostart`; }
sleep $(($SSIDLE-$idle))
fi
done
When booted its permission are changed:
Why ?
Thank you.

Ok - i get it.
You should edit /opt/porteus-scripts/files/slideshow as this is the file which gets copied to /opt/porteus-scripts/screensaver-idle-watcher during kiosk boot.
If 'screensaver video' is enabled during installation then /opt/porteus-scripts/files/videoshow is copied to /opt/porteus-scripts/screensaver-idle-watcher.
Thanks.

Very well, Fanthom. All works fine.
Just an other little query: how to pass a settings parameter to my script ?
Thank you very much.
