As someone else described in one of your closed issues, there is a new Error while Screensavers are not working :(

Also: In configuration under "Videos" there is nothing.

Yikes. I found the error though. Basically the first time you install it Aerial initializes some variables and stores them. Because you only upgraded, not a first time install, the variables weren't initialized, hence the error.

I'm working on a fix that should be out later today.

I think I fixed it. Download and install v0.5.1, it shouldn't throw an error. Thanks for bringing this to my attention, let me know if you continue to have problems.

freddy1407 commented 4 years ago

youre very fast man! thanks a lot!

at first: Error is not showing up again. in Config, Videos are back listed and marked for download.

im sorry, but i have to report another problem: after installed, i tested it and Screen just turns Black and stays Black for Minutes :/

Could you build in an Indikator where every user can see informations about running downloads? So, that i can check, when the first Video is fully downloaded. in my Case i waited for downloads more than 6 hours. Screen still turns black.

thanks!

Maybe i have the same as freddy. not shure, If it only occurs after a while (video change?) Actually I just woke up the screensaver: black screen but texts where shown.) I will do further checks. Yes, orangejedi is really fast. He should have a donate button..

I had I bit of a problem with this myself. If you try switching the videos with the arrow keys will it eventually play a video? Also, if you have the cache turned on clicking the 'update cache' button might fix it.

I'll try to figure this out as soon as I can. If you send me screenshot of your errors it might help. If you run Aerial from the command line like this aerial.scr /t /dt /nq it will open Aerial in a smaller window with a console open. Any errors should be logged out.

As for a downloading indicator, I take a look at building one. For now you can look at the cache size indicator (the videos average ~230 MB) or open the cache.

Thats when i run it how u told me:

CC7B456D-6477-4AC2-A82A-40F08CC0679A

After installing, i updated Cache and used Right arrow to skip Blackscreen - and then finally, the first time a Video started to play!!! Thanks soooo much!

OrangeJedi commented 4 years ago

No thank you, that screenshot helps a lot. Glad to hear updating the cache worked. I think there is a problem with Aerial's list of cached videos. I'll try working on a fix.
