Unable to Trigger Quartz Composer Modules
Authored by: acenright on Jan 27, '07 08:17:04AM

All,

Thank you for the script variants above, they work mostly as descibed. I can finally use an iTunes visualizer as my screen saver when iTunes is currently playing and use another screensaver when it's not.

Problem is, I cannot choose to use a quartz composition as the non-visualizer screensaver. The script breaks, resulting in some weird screen flicker and then nothing.

This is particularly frustrating, as I have created a couple of custom RSS screensavers using Quartz Composer that I'm dying to display using a modified version of the scripts here.

Does anyone know how to modify it? I assume there needs to be a change to this chunk:

/System/Library/Frameworks/ScreenSaver.framework/Resources/ScreenSaverEngine.app/Contents/MacOS/ScreenSaverEngine -module \"" & theModule & "\""

Thanks in advance!

A.

Actually, after some additional testing, it seems the issue could be intel-related. Has anyone had success using these scripts on an intel-Mac?
