Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] [Announce] FileViewer screensaver
I think I was user #2 for this plugin. Actually use it at work to stream information to customers. Just welcoming them to the store and inviting them to ask questions. It is really great to have someone like Michael who enjoys these little projects. It adds so much life to an already extraordinary product.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] [Announce] FileViewer screensaver
Ok thanks.. would be a great addition for the future though, since it makes it much more flexible. Yes, it would, but at the cost of much more complexity. It's really just a quickly hacked together plugin I did a while ago. Too bad I abandoned Linux a while ago for my home system, since I need windows for several reasons.. now the question would be.. is there a windows port of fortune? or something similar? (for this usage without a GUI would be fine, just some sort of script). That's where the trouble would start for that kind of plugin: how to check whether a file should be displayed or executed on different platforms? The plugin says it all: it's a file viewer :-). -- Michael - http://www.herger.net/SlimCD - your SlimServer on a CD http://www.herger.net/slim - AlbumReview, Biography, MusicInfoSCR ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins

[SlimDevices: Plugins] [Announce] FileViewer screensaver
This is a simple screensaver which will display a text file of your choice as a screensaver. This has been around in the forums for a while. But this is the first version featuring a configuration page to set the text file. No need any more to edit the plugin file directly :-) http://www.herger.net/FileViewer/ -- Michael - http://www.herger.net/SlimCD - your SlimServer on a CD http://www.herger.net/slim - AlbumReview, Biography, MusicInfoSCR ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] [Announce] FileViewer screensaver
Just wondering, since I saw you programmed many great plugins for slimserver. Couldn't you extend the concept a little? I remember a few years ago on my first linux box I discovered a program called fortune. Which displayed a funny line everytime it was called. There's some similar programs for windows out there, but none with the awesome database of lines/sayings of the original fortune. So a screensaver displaying random lines from this fortune (cookie) database would be great. -- Micha123 Micha123's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10870 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=33897 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] [Announce] FileViewer screensaver
Try this patch. You can put a command (fully qualified paths only!!!) as the filename. You can add arguments if you want, too. So you can set the filename to /usr/games/fortune -s to get short fortunes.

Two things: 1) I goofed and used the -t (TTY!?!) test instead of -T (text file) 2) If I'd gotten the -T test right, my patch would not work well with simple shell scripts, as it would only execute the file if it's executable and Perl thinks it's not a text file. I think point #2 is fine in Linux/Mac/Unix -- you'd just need to use a setting like /bin/bash /home/myuser/myscript.sh argument1 argument2 although perhaps the -x and -T requirement should have some alternative logic in Windows where file extensions are more important. -Peter -- peterw http://www.tux.org/~peterw/ free plugins: http://www.tux.org/~peterw/#slim BlankSaver BottleRocket FuzzyTime SaverSwitcher SleepFade StatusFirst VolumeLock peterw's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2107 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=33897 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
