Home / Other I-Appliances / 3Com Audrey WebSaver Available

WebSaver Available (modified 0 times) davinci27 Profile WebSaver is a photon app that will randomly load URLs. It's meant to be used as a screensaver similar to PicSaver. Type WebSaver -cc to configure. You can get it at http://www.davinci27.org/audrey/software.html davinci27 05-04-2002 14:50:02

RE:WebSaver Available (modified 0 times) ABJim Profile | Email Does this require your installer or can i install it manually? If so, in what directory? 05-05-2002 08:14:03

RE:WebSaver Available (modified 0 times) davinci27 Profile This is a standalone photon app. just download, chmod+x and put in /nto/photon/bin/ All of the non installer files listed on my site are standalone. I'm getting close to getting the installation app ready, then I will convert everything over. Until then, I putting stuff up as stand alone. davinci27 05-05-2002 08:39:38

RE:WebSaver Available (modified 0 times) booya Profile I am assuming that this only works with real Voyager? When I try to run it I get a "Floating point exception". Get help, chat, and be merry.. Join #audrey on Efnet 05-05-2002 08:50:01

RE:WebSaver Available (modified 0 times) ABJim Profile | Email I got the floating point error until I ran WebSaver -cc...I don't know if you need the real Voyager. Davinci---The app works great!!!!! This solves my problem. An idea or 2... 1. It would be great if when I put in the URL for a directory, it would show all the html pages in that directory (and/or all the jpegs in the directory) 2. Is there anyway for it to come on itself like a screen saver does? Thanks Jim 05-05-2002 12:57:32

RE:WebSaver Available (modified 0 times) ABJim Profile | Email Also...I put a button in the shelf for the app and also for WebSaver -cc this makes it easy to change the configuration. Jim 05-05-2002 12:59:05

RE:WebSaver Available (modified 0 times) santur Profile davinci27, this is great application. couple of questions: 1) it seems to work fine if I mount the files separately. However, I get no files found error if I set the mount command to "fscifs -a ....". Is it supposed to be name of the script that mounts the directory? 2) I tried compressing the program, but it gives an error when I try to run it. Is the file already compressed? Thanks! santur 05-05-2002 15:23:22

RE:WebSaver Available (modified 1 times) davinci27 Profile booya - You have to run WebSaver -cc to setup you preferences. You don't need voyager installed, but you man have to create a link vserver to voyager.server. I don't remeber right off the top of my head. AbJim - That a good idea, buta fairly big task for me. It would involve parsing the page and pulling all the links out. Might be doable. I'll take a look the next time I'm playing with this app. You can make it a screensaver just Like PicSaver. See Infinity's thread about fully function randompic screen saver. The only difference is you script only need to launch WebSaver and FireKey. Websaver check to make sure it's the only occurance running. It should be compressale. I just download and cmp'd it without any problems. santur - I believe your in the wrong thread. I think your talking about PicSaver. The mount command need to be exactly what you would type in to mount a directory from the command line. for example. fs-cifs //server:129.168.2.1:/pics /pics username password daivnci27 05-05-2002 16:33:02

RE:WebSaver Available (modified 0 times) booya Profile jeez.. It was right there. I just needed to RTFM or the post anyways. It works fine with Audrey's default browser, but I really dont need to load multiple pages just one and then that page would redirect to a new page after a certain amount of time. Can you disable multiple page loading? I tried setting the delay to 0 but it resets to 5. Get help, chat, and be merry.. Join #audrey on Efnet 05-05-2002 18:00:18

RE:WebSaver Available (modified 0 times) davinci27 Profile right now it won't, but it should be pretty easy to add. If that's all you need, you could also just use voyager and lauch with everything turned off. davinci27 05-05-2002 18:25:46

RE:WebSaver Available (modified 0 times) booya Profile I like the one touch exit as I am trying to get it to work as a screensaver with Infinity's method. So far it isn't working. I can see it running, but it doesn't have focus, and as soon as I touch the screen I see a flicker and the program is stopped. Also firekey doesn't seem to be helping with this one either. I'm still messing with it. Get help, chat, and be merry.. Join #audrey on Efnet 05-05-2002 19:38:45

RE:WebSaver Available (modified 0 times) booya Profile It works fine with saver.. I had the setup wrong. I have a webpage that runs a little slide show, and I want it to load that up. It works fine but after 600 seconds it starts over when refreshing. I am correct in my assumtion that launching Voyager with saver to load up the URL wouldn't exit with one tap right?

RE:WebSaver Available (modified 0 times) davinci27 Profile booya - Okay, updated Websaver. If there is only 1 URL in the list, it won't try to load another. Everyone - I also moved the area of the screeen that quit the app in 15 pixels, this is so if scrollbars appear and you want to scroll the screen without actually quiting the app. davinci27 05-06-2002 04:38:24

RE:WebSaver Available (modified 0 times) booya Profile Davinci, Awesome work.. Another app on my list of favorites. It works great with saver; low overhead and fast loading.. I have run into an issue with saver continuly trying to initiate WebSaver every 3 minutes(my idle timeout). This causes a problem because I don't always want the screen on like after midnight and during the day on weekdays, and saver turns the screen back on when it reruns WebSaver every 3 minutes. Got any idea's for a work around? I was thinking I could slay saver when WebSaver starts but then I have now way of starting it back up when WebSaver exits... Possibly an addition in your code to do that would work? Could you add it, or do a custom one for me? :) Thanks!!! Get help, chat, and be merry.. Join #audrey on Efnet 05-06-2002 11:10:54

RE:WebSaver Available (modified 0 times) davinci27 Profile Yeah I've got the same problem with picsaver. I'm trying to get rid of firekey, the root of the problem. Once I figure it out, I'll let you know. davinci27 05-06-2002 12:54:42

RE:WebSaver Available (modified 0 times) booya Profile Well I found a work around. Not the prettiest, but so far it has been working. If I "slay saver" then run "WebSaver" WebSaver will load with focus. With no "&" after WebSaver the shell script waits for WebSaver to exit before continuing. So the last line of the script restarts "saver" after WebSaver exits. So my /nto/photon/savers/WebSaver.sh looks like this slay saver WebSaver saver It works go figure?! :) Get help, chat, and be merry.. Join #audrey on Efnet 05-06-2002 19:13:40

RE:WebSaver Available (modified 0 times) booya Profile Davinci, Before when I still used firekey and my phone would ring ACID would show over the top of WebSaver. Now that I slay saver before running WebSaver I don't need firekey to change focus of WebSaver, but I think it is programmed to be on top off all apps so when my phone rings ACID is under WebSaver and I can't see who is calling unless I stop WebSaver. Can WebSaver be changed so ACID will open on top of it so ACID is visable? Get help, chat, and be merry.. Join #audrey on Efnet 05-08-2002 14:58:00

RE:WebSaver Available (modified 0 times) Infinity Profile small nifty app, i like it but is there an an option to turn off the scroll bars, they are kinda annoying. i've tried using -h -w but it still shows the scroll bars. 05-08-2002 18:54:45

RE:WebSaver Available (modified 0 times) santur Profile davinci27 Is it possible to modify WebSaver such that when it is running, turning the big knob in the middle of audrey makes it go to the next URL in the list Kind of similar to filmstrip to quickly cycle through websites. santur 05-08-2002 18:57:05

RE:WebSaver Available (modified 0 times) davinci27 Profile booya - shouldn't be to hard. I'll see if I can get that for you tomorrow Infinity - I haven't found anyway to turn off the scroll bars. That's why I moved the area that would close it off the scroll bars. This way you can use the scroll bars if you want to read what's on the current page. santur - I don't see any reason why not. I'll try to work on that over the next couple of days. I'm also going to try and add a go to sleep option that will put the audrey to sleep after X minutes davinci27 05-08-2002 20:22:56
