Images on weather screen flashing #20

Not sure how to fix this one... don't know if it's a bug in Kivy or an issue with the icons themselves.

Needs investigating.

elParaguayo commented 8 years ago

Doing some digging. This is likely due to the fact that the icons are gifs. Setting the anim_delay property may be a simple solution for this.

elParaguayo commented 8 years ago

Nope. That gave me lots of "critical" warnings!

elParaguayo commented 8 years ago

Looks like it's a bug in Kivy itself: https://github.com/kivy/kivy/issues/2508

If you install pillow and start the RPi-InfoScreen with following command: KIVY_IMAGE=pil python main.py the flashing stops and icons are shown correctly.

elParaguayo commented 8 years ago

Good to know, thank you.

elParaguayo commented 8 years ago

Presumably we could add this to the main script:

import os
os.environ['KIVY_IMAGE'] = 'pil'

I added that line to the main.py and it worked.

elParaguayo commented 8 years ago

Ok. I'll include when I do next updates.

regit commented 8 years ago

I confirm the fix.

This fix crashes the script on my laptop. Admittedly, that's not the target system but it's not ideal!
