Sorted it

I set the fps and bitrate to convert too high and live wallpaper didn't seem to like it, i could have pushed it more but wanted to share what i have found first.

The link to my samples are in post 240 on previous page

So, Ive found a shitful bug in v0.7

If you have a video set as a background, you cannot connect N900 to PC in mass storage mode - it says "cannot connect - device storage in use"

If you disable video bg, it will then connect no problems..

I have verified this and it sucks.

Re: Live Wallpaper discussion thread

affirmative! The live matrix bg with accelerometer. So you can turn it and still get the bg falling lol. I like

@f2thak

For a wordaround, move the video file on /home/user instead of /home/user/MyDocs and it won't complain again :)

Is this a fix for the mass storage connect issue??

@f2thak

I found changing to another screen helps connect but if what giannoug says fixes this then it may not matter what i say. :)

Re: Live Wallpaper discussion thread
 
It might work but you CANNOT select a video outside of MyDocs...

so really its a BUG.

nathaneous 2010-08-05 09:09

Re: Live Wallpaper discussion thread
 
Another thing i noticed is that when you have widgets active (i.e media player widget playing music, tunewiki syncing lyrics) it tends to lag the video being played as livewallpaper. I tried using the videos made by
f2thak and get the same lag response?

Do you think if i overclocked my N900 that the lag response would be different?

Thanks,

What !! Boost cpu speed in which will increase battery drainage to make a battery draining app smoother. hmmmmmm. sounds messy :D

I modified the Accel bg theme....

Will share later today if ppl are interested.


edit:
DOWNLOAD attached ZIP and extract to root of N900, not MyDocs.

**NOTE** this will OVERWRITE the original Accel theme, so BACKUP!

How are you going to place video file outside of MyDocs?

F2thaK 2010-08-06 11:14

Re: Live Wallpaper discussion thread
 
i know how, but true, this wont be a appropriate fix for general users

DaSilva 2010-08-06 11:24

Re: Live Wallpaper discussion thread
 
Maybe video playback should be stopped if USB is detected!?

We are discussing this now, but it dificult to implement

Bazza 2010-08-06 12:43

Re: Live Wallpaper discussion thread
 
Would it make any difference if the video file is placed in the mmc?

If the video file is placed in the mmc, then mmc will be unavailable.

i tried turning all live wallpapers for all 4 desktops, but it froze my system for 3-4 minutes, until it worked again.
4 live wallpapers - unusable.

i admit, after you posted, i tried other themes. i originally tried the matrix-theme, but after choosing the other ones, the matrix one seems to be much more load-heavy than the others.

still, modern or berlin are giving me a slow system as well, far away from every-day-use. 60% load on an idle system? no way...

how many desktops and widgets do you have also ???

Oh !!! I have selected a video from my memory card and it plays OK but stutters.

I will move an mp4 to my mmc and try it and see if i still experience the intermittent USB issue.
