animated backgrounds stop playing

Postby S Pittaway on Wed Apr 04, 2012 2:08 pm

i have noticed that my animated backgrounds have started to stop playing...

The only way to get them working again is to restart xlobby.

They used to work fine and the only thing that has changed n my side is that I have started using the slideshow (you added a few commands for - me thank you).

I have a video background on the nowplaying area, it also has a few buttons to start different slideshows. The slideshow is the screensaver, so if you trigger a slideshow and then stop it by moving, is the background still animating? This will confirm if the slideshow is stopping it, it's working fine on my side, I can't reproduce the bug.

I wrote a rubish description, i ment the slideshow that is shown when the screensaver kicks in (sorry)


I had a play over the weekend but I cant it to stop working in a reproducable way...

I have the screensaver turned on (the only thing i have changed in xlooby in ages).

I have the system set to hybernate when i press the off button (its been like this for months).

Quite a few times after the screensaver is stooped the animated background seems to have stopped as well.

I have also seen it after i have resumed my system.
