Sadly this does not work for me. I tried several screensavers "when off", they all work, but I can't get back to menu. The button just doesn't appear and touching anywhere on display doesn't do anything. I can only guess that this might have to do something with touchscreen calibration. I had to re-calibrate touchscreen for my 1024 x 600 Waveshare 7'' HDMI display to make it work with GridSkin. It didn't work out of the box. cybtrash's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=71926 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=103330 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix

But what button? I mean if somebody presses that button on the top-left the touchscreen goes black and I can't reactivate it anymore. It does not respond to touches anymore. Only way to make it work again is start playing music from a remote PC. Is there a way to hide or deactivate this button, maybe by editing the skin files? cybtrash's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=71926 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=103330 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Jivelite for piCorePlayer
Hello, what does the button on the top-left side do that looks like an "on-off" button (Grid Skin) ? It seems to stop the music and blanks my touchscreen. I can't do anything anymore on the touchscreen. Even a reboot doesn't make the menu reappear. Only solution is to start playing music via the Logitech Media Server from a PC, then the screen reappears. I would like to use the button as a quick "music pause/play" button but the screen should stay on else I would like to remove that button as it would confuse my kids. cybtrash's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=71926 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=103330 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
[SlimDevices: Unix] Jivelite Screensaver "os.execute" command does not work
Hello,
I want to modify the "Blank Screen" screensaver, so it will turn of my
screen backlight when blanking screen. I can control backlight it via
GPIO.
The command is e.g. "/usr/local/bin/gpio -g pwm 18 0". It works, I
tested it from the console.
So I modified the file
"/home/tc/.jivelite/userpath/applets/BlankScreenSaver/BlankScreenSaverApplet.lua"
I added
Code:
LOCAL OS = REQUIRE(\"OS\")
[...]
function openScreensaver(self, menuItem)
log:info("open screensaver")
self.window = Window("text_list")
-- blank screen
[...]
local manager = appletManager:getAppletInstance("ScreenSavers")
manager:screensaverWindow(self.window, _, _, _, "BlankScreenSaver")
self.window:show(Window.transitionFadeIn)
OS.EXECUTE(\"/USR/LOCAL/BIN/GPIO -G PWM 18 0\")
OS.EXECUTE(\"/BIN/TOUCH /HOME/TC/ITWORKS\")
end
[...]
Sadly it does not work. Even the file "ITWORKS" is not being created. So
something must be wrong with the command os.execute.
Can you help me please?

I took both folders "PiGridSkin" and "JogglerSkin" from "jivelite-master\share\jive\applets" and moved them into "/home/tc/.jivelite/userpath/applets" (had to use sudo as I don't have write permissions in this folder). Saved to SD -> Reboot Jivelite doesn't offer a PiGridSkin. Now I have the "Grid Skin" two times available with resolution 1024 x 600 (resolution of my 7'' Waveshare display). But there is no difference between them. I only can use the Grid Skin with 1024 x 600 as this is the only one where my touchscreen is calibrated properly. E.g. Joggler Skin has a wrong resolution (too small) and touchscreen doesn't work properly. I even tried "export JL_SCREEN_WIDTH=1024 and export JL_SCREEN_HEIGHT=600" but this didn't make a difference. So now I am stuck with this view: "Folder menu" : 35184 35185 35186 "Albums" : (too small pictures, all albums are here, so not separated ) 35187 But every folder (e.g. "Hörbuch", "Conni") has his own folder.jpg but it isn't displayed. So please if you have any idea what I can do to make this more a "thumbnail" menu, I and my kids will be very happy to try it out!! :) +---+ |Filename: 20210710_004340.jpg | |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=35187| +---+ cybtrash's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=71926 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=113512 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] ANNOUNCE: piCorePlayer 7.0.0
Hello, Is there a very simple to use skin for Jivelite (7'' Touchscreen) that is suitable for small children that can't read yet (4-6 years). I want to put some Musik CDs and Audiobooks on it, best would be they would only see Artwork Covers and click on them. Like only album covers. Best would be a navigation like this Code: audiobooks (artwork) -> audiobookseries1 (artwork) -> episode 1 (artwork) episode 2 (artwork) audiobookseries2 (artwork) -> episode 1 (artwork) ... music (cover) -> album1 (artwork) -> album2 (artwork) I just installed picoreplayer so maybe somebody could give me a hint? :) I have no problem if it should take some time tagging mp3, making artwork for every folder etc. cybtrash's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=71926 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=113512 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
