posible to have a video stream as a screensaver?!
i have several files (mpg) like a aquarium, or a fire place..
it's dam cool to have to fire place running while listing to mp3s.
should'n be too hard to have it running in a loop.
what do you think.

thought about the exact thing myself so i'd like to see it too. xbmc have to handle two streams at the same time. don't know if that would be a problem for some reason.

this could be an interesting feature for playlists, ie. repeat this file/stream infinitely, or a random mode.
for more "playlist" features one could look at what winamp5/foobar/videolan perhaps. more to follow.

hi,
what i have is a couple of very nice avis and mpegs that contain fireplaces and aquariums.
since i have an lcd-tv it's really nice to have one of these on in the background, when you have guests for example.
however, i want to have music on while they are playing.
is it currently possible, or would it be feasible to implement this?
any sound present in the movies played would of course be ignored.
thanks.

ok,
i realize there is a screensaver competition for xbmc...but...is there perhaps a 3rd party dvd that might work for xbmc as a screensaver? i've seen a lot of plasma tv's running screensaver dvds and such like this aqua (tropical fish tank) one.
will those work, or will that work? or is that something that has to be added to xbmc?

that won't work on its own, but a more general form would. perhaps a screensaver plugin that loops a certain, user selected, video file. imo, that'd be a valid entry, and a useful addition.

hi, i view all my digital photos via xbmc and it looks great using the slideshow. but i would also like to be able to view video clips from the my pictures section, my camera takes small .avi clips and i offten take a few clips when taking photos.
is there any way to play them from my pictures? preferably include them in the slideshow?
