Screensaver that selects an installed screensaver at random to be used.



Introduction

The RandomScreensaver is an addon that you can select as your screensaver and every time the screensaver starts it will automatically choose one of the screensavers installed on your system and start it.

This can be very useful if you wish to have a mix of different screensavers used on your installation.

Screensaver Support

In order for RandomScreensaver to support randomly selecting a screensaver to start, the screensaver must also be configured to run as a script, this means that in addition to the addon.xml file containing:

<extension point="xbmc.ui.screensaver" library="default.py"/>

Is should also contain the following entry:

<extension point="xbmc.python.script" library="default.py" />



Debugging

If reporting a problem, please also provide a debug log. To do this you need to enable BOTH:

  • Kodi logging from the main setting menu
  • RandomScreensaver debug from the RandomScreensaver addon settings menu

Please do not paste the log into the forum thread, just link to it.
