Everything seems normal, it works as before, maybe even better when I updated this extension to version 0.4. Not sure why some mention incompatibility of the screensaver hack with later FW versions.

New fork for PW2

I've created a new version of the onlinescreensaver extension which works on the PW2. The original version had a problem, because the PW2 does a different hibernation technique, which stops the kernel from waking up after going to sleep.
For non PW2 users, this version should not have any benefits.

Im happy if someone wants to give it a try (and some feedback)

Registered just to say thank you! This is the first version I've ever gotten to work on my Kindle 10 on FW 5.16.2.1.1

I wonder if anyone can assist with the strange behaviour that has started happening with this add-on for my Kindle 7th Generation.

I am using onlinescreensaver with the Home Assistant Lovelace Kindle Screensaver to show a dashboard on my Kindle's lockscreen.

The add-on was working perfectly until I recently moved home. I set up my ISP's router with the same SSID and password as before, the Kindle connected, started refreshing, but then after a few hours it stops updating and just remains on one of the previous screens. I have a timestamp at the bottom of the screensaver, so I can tell it stops updating after about 4-6 hours.

Does anyone know what might be causing this? It was working perfectly before, the only thing I changed was moving home.

Bumping to see if anyone can assist with this. I've tried reinstalling the script several times, even resetting my Kindle to factory settings and installing the jailbreak from scratch, but the issue persists.

The script runs perfectly for a few hours, sometimes even days, then just stops and refuses to update.

I enabled logging to a file in the /tmp/ folder to see if I could get any more information that way, but when I plug my Kindle into my PC to look for the file, there's nothing there.

Can anyone assist?

I was able to get logging working but it doesn't reveal much information. The screensaver was updating all day and then randomly stopped around 2am.

Here are the logs:

Nothing to suggest why it stopped, just seems to stop responding after a few hours of running fine. Is something just timing out?

Q: I've been using v0.3 on my Kindle Paperwhite (3rd gen, 2015) for some time. What advancements, if any, would this new unofficial v0.4 version give me?

This works perfectly for me on a PW3 on 5.16.2.1.1. Thank you!

I'm running it on a PaperWhite 3 on 5.16.2.1.1 and the initial screensaver display works great, but after that when it updates the image is zoomed in like 4x... Any ideas?

Converting my images to a proper format fixed this problem
