read-only my-pictures-folder #27

Closed fuse314 closed 3 years ago

I have a network share I set to read-only for the kodi user, to display a photo show in kaster. With the current version of Kaster, I get an error selecting this folder "this folder must be writable". I found the following line in the settings.xml that is responsible for this error: https://github.com/enen92/screensaver.kaster/blob/f691f5e84a3c03ba7267340c553e11c4d7e0d887/resources/settings.xml#L6

In the code, I did not find any reason for this folder to be writable. The screensaver just reads the image files (or the file "images.json", if it exists), but never writes any files.

Is it possible to change settings.xml to allow a read-only folder to be selected as a local image folder?

Not really as far as I remember, maybe some copy-paste from some other addon. Can you remove the writable option and test if it works on your end?

fuse314 commented 3 years ago

yes, I removed the option="writeable" part and I can select the read-only folder. The screensaver works as expected for me (I did not test it with a images.json file present, though).

It is also working with the "images.json" present :)
