Animations/videos are hell-slow, they only burns the cpu.

Try this flash:

Re: Live Wallpaper discussion thread
 

I just looked it. Yes I see problem. I will think. Do you set parameter 'Smoothing'?

Hi f2thak.

I just checked AudeliciousQT.
This application may be using as livewallpaper. I will add it to Livewallpaper after MeegoConference (after Nov 20)

Vlad.

P.S.
You can to do it yourself.

create file in this path:
/usr/share/livewp/external_themes/A.xml
and insert those lines

<theme>
<name>A</name>
<exec_path>/opt/Audelicious/AudeliciousQT</exec_path>
<window_name>AudeliciousQT</window_name>
<category>Unknown</category>
<icon_on>/usr/share/livewp/external_icons/xscreensaver.png</icon_on>
<icon_off>/usr/share/livewp/external_icons/xscreensaverd.png</icon_off>
</theme>

Re: Live Wallpaper discussion thread
 

the above works perfectly, thanks, except you cannot go fullscreen with each effect or change settings :(

Re: Live Wallpaper discussion thread
 

yes. i did checked the loop and smoothing parameters. but nothing happened..:confused:
i'm just waiting your solution. :)

Re: Live Wallpaper discussion thread
 

Help. I can't use videos anymore as a background. It just says loading livewallpaper scene and it doesn't load it anymore. Videos before were in full screen but when I tried it, it was smaller.

Re: Live Wallpaper discussion thread
 

weird, i downloaded today Sherman’s Aquarium Live-wallpaper, and is not on the list, but now everytime i use Marina theme, in 1 of the views screens I get an animated city and a electric train passing thru.....

But no aquarium... anyone experiencing the same problem

Re: Live Wallpaper discussion thread
 

Sherman's Aquarium are placed in category 'Unknown'

Vlad.

Re: Live Wallpaper discussion thread
 

sorry for being a noob with my phone vlad, but how do i go to category unknown

Re: Live Wallpaper discussion thread
 

got it working again. The only problem I have now is that the videos I downloaded like the ae particles, rain, train etc used to play in full screen, now it's like playing in 4:3. Is there a fix for this? Thanks for the app. It's really great. If there was a mute I could just use nokia n900s welcome video.

Re: Live Wallpaper discussion thread
 

Thanks Vlad, this is awesome.

I'm curious as to how this works. Is each xscreensaver hack modified to have a dbus interface?

Also, do you use gstreamer to play the videos? If so, the following wiki page might be useful to people having problems with choppy video. http://wiki.maemo.org/N900_Video_Encoding

Re: Live Wallpaper discussion thread
 

How do i find category unknown , Please

Re: Live Wallpaper discussion thread
 

See here. You can strip out the audio by changing "-oac copy" to "-nosound".

Settings -> LiveWallpaper and click the thumbnail.

Re: Live Wallpaper discussion thread
 

thank you sir

Re: Live Wallpaper discussion thread
 

I couldn't find this by searching, but has there been any try to get the Live Wallpaper to show the feed from the back camera when it's open?

Re: Live Wallpaper discussion thread

want this live wallpaper on n900 is it possible ???

Re: Live Wallpaper discussion thread
 

Live Wallpaper has issues when rotating in the Menu (CSSU)

When you are running the live wallpaper, go to the menu and rotate phone so the screen will also rotate....
This will show you the half of the live wallpaper.
Maybe it's better to stay as it is like the real desktop background? :)

So now that we have portrait mode in the menu, will Live Wallpapers also be fixed? :)

Re: Live Wallpaper discussion thread
 

There has been several post about jerky video performance on PR1.3 with Live Wallpaper, is there any solutions for that? I have tried videos posted in here and tried to re-encode some of them to x264 and various resolutions with no success.

Re: Live Wallpaper discussion thread
 

I've asked this before but it probably got lost in the other requests ...

I'm running the photoslideshow in live wallpaper. But the normal theme background images are still visible next to/'behind' the photos. also when the picture is blurred due to losing focus because of a foreground action, then I'm getting a bad/weird mixture of a blurred theme background and a blurred photo from the live wallpaper.

Is it possible to blacken the background first and then put the photo on, when using the photo slideshow ? Changes are required anyway for the cooperation with the cssu, so maybe ... please? :)

thanks.

Re: Live Wallpaper discussion thread
 

indeed. change your background to the a solid black color such as the one attached.

Re: Live Wallpaper discussion thread
 

Is there any chance of being able to incorporate this into the live wallpaper application?

Oculo: web content to your home screen!

It would be great to get live web page updates full screen in the background.of your desktop.

Re: Live Wallpaper discussion thread
 

Hi Bazza.
This is the very interesting suggestion. But I and Tanya busy in porting OMWeather to Meego. Sorry.

Vlad.

Re: Live Wallpaper discussion thread
 

That's ok, do you have any plans in the future to continue your work on live wallpaper?

Re: Live Wallpaper discussion thread
 

How can i add my custom xscreensaver? Like a solarwinds?
Thnx

Re: Live Wallpaper discussion thread
 

the samsung galaxy s2 video wallpaper can't work on the n900 because it reports live weather :S

Re: Live Wallpaper discussion thread
 

Any idea what causes the flash wallpaper to show a white screen instead of the .swf file?

Thanks

Re: Live Wallpaper discussion thread
 

Wrong version of swf file. N900 can read only up to ver 9, 10.x is not supported. It also supports ActionScript 2.0.

BTW, I've created a simple flash wallpaper for LiveWallpaper program.

This is a first flash I've created so sorry for any bugs there and that it's not as good as it could be. I've started flash programming today really :D

Anyway, here's a screenie:
http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll91/qtit/DIGN.png

And here's a download link:
Digital Nature

There are three files there, first is the HD version which can spawn up to 4 flowers, the LD spawns only 2 while SN spawns only one.

Hope you like it a bit.

Re: Live Wallpaper discussion thread
 

Wrong flash version is not the answer in this case, as I had the wallpaper working fine on my n900 and another user could not get it working on theirs. As far as I know we had both flashed our phones back to stock and reloaded everything and he was still having issues.

Re: Live Wallpaper discussion thread
 

In that case, I am sorry but I have no idea...

Another flashy wallpaper from me then

Re: Live Wallpaper discussion thread
 

Okay, last flashy wallpaper for today, the pONG.

Beware! pONG sometimes gets bored and... Well, starts playing with itself :D

You will get pONGified!

If anyone have ideas for good abstract wallpapers I'd be glad to listen to them.

Wanna different color theme for flashy wallpapers? PM me.

Re: Live Wallpaper discussion thread
 

Nice video man, do you know how can i create one and fit all the screen?, i have that little issue :S

Re: Live Wallpaper discussion thread
 

Take a look here:

http://www.artdigitaldesign.com/desk...period=&page=1

it has many interesting interactive flash wallpapers that can be downloaded (set the resolution for each downloaded to 800x480)

Re: Live Wallpaper discussion thread
 

I've been looking around at that site, but the resolution settings you make there are saved in a htm file, not in the flash script itself. Is there a way to load the htm file in LiveWallpaper, so the resolution gets set correctly?

Re: Live Wallpaper discussion thread
 

Plasma Sparks

http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/l.../SparksSet.png

Many different color sets

Re: Live Wallpaper discussion thread
 

Does anyone know how to make the right-click menu pop up when using flash on livewallpaper? I want to change the quality settings so the animations are more fluent.

Re: Live Wallpaper discussion thread
 

Can anyone tell how to change the 'Publish Settings to Flash 6.0 AS1.0' in order to make flash wallpapers work on my N900?

Re: Live Wallpaper discussion thread
 

Problem solved, thanks to HtheB. He found out that if the flash swf file is saved in a destination where there are spaces in the folder names, the live wallpaper won't read the file. As soon as I deleted the spaces, my flash wallpaper loaded at last. *phoof* :)

Re: Live Wallpaper discussion thread
 

There seems to be a problem with the flash player:
1. enable a flash wallpaper
2. switch to its desktop
3. launch htop
4. you can see that for each activated desktop with the flash wallpaper there are 2 processes instead of one.

this is eating much more memory and affects performance i believe.

the player for the flash used on my device is kmplayer and i can see 6 of its processes when i enable 3 different flash wallpapers.
if i disable them, all processes are gone.
