I think instead of people writing up descriptions again what we should do is publish a new version which is definitely working. Would anyone be opposed to compiling all the tweaks we know you need to do into a new bundle and updating the links? @peterson etc

Thanks for working on this!
I just tried to get this up and running on my Paperwhite 2nd gen. I had it working for a bit and then something overwrote the config.sh file with what looks like the amazon user agreement in different languages. Any ideas? I've tried reinstalling onlinescreen saver and doing a full factory reset and now I can't get it working. |

also @mironov and @jonnydeath for the recent changes, that are included in @amapetilans files. But be aware that there are some bugs in amapetilans v0.4 files:
Good luck to all experimenting |

Has anyone managed to stably run this on a PW2? I get error messages about e.g. config.sh not being found.

Been trying to get this to run on my Kindle 3 wifi, but no such luck. Might have to rework it a bit to see if I can get it run.

Working on PW1 but with refresh issues
I've got this working on a Kindle Paperwhite (1st gen, serial B024). Firmware is 5.3.5.
The problems are: * When unplugged the screen flashes about 30-40 times. It's like it's stuck in some epaper refresh loop. After a bunch of this flickering it stops and shows my 758x1024 image. * When plugged into a charging cable the flashing just never stops. I've searched through all these forums but didn't find any clues or other posters with the same problem. Anyone know how to fix this? Here's a copy of the image I'm using: https://i.imgur.com/HaPAwuD.png |

Won't update automatically when unplugged
Maybe someone here has seen this before. The integration is working but it stays stuck on the first image downloaded and never updates it.
I tried enabling usbnetwork and tailing the log, and everything works perfectly. The display updates with new images and everything works. But as soon as I unplug the Kindle and set it aside, the updates stop. Does this work differently if you push the power button to start the screensaver, than if you simply let it time out and auto start? I know this device is checking in because I can see the webhook firing in the log, every couple of minutes (not sure why because I have the interval of the script set to 15 mins.) Code:
this: entity_id: automation.kindle_battery_level state: 'on' attributes: id: '1705261420650' last_triggered: '2024-01-17T16:59:01.995861+00:00' mode: single current: 0 friendly_name: Kindle - Battery Level last_changed: '2024-01-16T23:51:59.857797+00:00' last_updated: '2024-01-17T16:59:01.998070+00:00' context: id: 01HMC5S9ZB0EFH146CWYY43CZF parent_id: null user_id: null trigger: platform: webhook webhook_id: REDACTED json: batteryLevel: 98 isCharging: false query: __type: <class 'multidict._multidict.MultiDictProxy'> repr: <MultiDictProxy()> description: webhook id: '0' idx: '0' alias: null |

Confirmed the same behavior whether I push the button or let it time out and sleep. The screensaver image loads and never updates, even though I can see the webhook calls in the log book.

ok to bring some closure - I was able to get this working but had to update to the latest available firmware for my device first.

I've just updated my PW3 to the latest version (5.16.2.1.1) and jailbroke it. Now I have to reinstall everything to be able to use my Kindle as an HA dashboard again. Can I still use Online Screensaver Extension with this FW version or should I downgrade my PW3 to 5.12 first? In this thread, I've read that Screensavers Hack is incompatible with any FW supporting a native screensaver. I'm not sure how it even worked so well for the past year when my PW3 was on 5.14.2. I upgraded to 5.16.2.1.1 while restoring my Kindle which ran into troubles (Repair code 2). I guess this happened because it had drained out at an inappropriate time (while fetching the screensaver image?).
