Hello Everyone, just updated to this version and it had problems connecting. So I manually deleted the saver and the ~/Library/Application Support/ElectricSheep directory. I then re-installed the latest one and tried again.
I've registered on the site and put my userid and password into the saver's network preferences.
It doesn't seem to want to connect to the server, claiming server errors. It also crashes out the System Preferences window when I close it.
Anyone else having these problems?
ciao

Server request failed
I just installed the new version and all I get is server request failed using free one.
It is correct. For now the
It is correct. For now the download server cannot be requested, because the request server is down. The message is completely inoffensive and download should work as before.
When the server will be back on again, the message should disappear.
We use the dynamic download server address request based on login informations. This part doesn't work yet, so if you provide your login or not, the free server is always used.

Did this actually solved your problem, or just removed the log error? It doesn't seem to fix anything important.
Don't you have a Seamless playback checked by any chance in Options dialog? When it is checked the ES videos doesn't play until you have at least one full loop. If you uncheck the setting, then you will get video played as soon as few are downloaded.
Hope this helps.

Could this be why I'm not getting anything played?you have to manually make the library/application support/sheep
You have to manually make the ~library/application support/Electric Sheep/sheep folders on your own sometimes for somereason they dont create thats why its crashing. did it to me too

Next day now. Still no playback. About 20 sheep have been downloaded (avi format) and will play in preview no problems. Yet ES wont play any. Its as if it cannot see them at all. Could it be the format?

Just had the screen saver
Just had the screen saver preferences open and Electric sheep has been happily downloading sheep into the content/mpeg directory. However I cannot get the screen saver to play them :-( It just gives me the "Welcome to Electric Sheep" logo image instead.
What's missing?
Derek can you please send me
Derek can you please send me the crash log for the System preferences crash on quit? They are stored in ~/Library/Logs/CrashReporter folder. There you should some recent SystemPreferences.crash or something. You can send it to dasvo [at] planeta [dot] cz. I'll try to figure out what is going on.
Can you also try the b16 version, it should be released now.
And don't forget please to check if you did not checked the Seamless Playback option in Options dialog. This would actually delay playing sheep until you would have at least one full loop of them. Which can take a long time.
Sorry for the delay s getting
Sorry for the delay s getting back to you. I don't think seamless had anything to do with this. The moment I commented out the line from the script, ES started playing sheep and it's bee fine ever since. I think the problem was that the script was aborting before getting to the part where it played the sheep.
