Not a screensaver, but you can download a fireplace video from youtube, put it in a playlist, then set it to repeat.
It would be nice to be able to activate a video as a screensaver.

Would it be hard to code? I wouldnt think so just ask xbmc to pull up video archive instead of pictures... or is it much more complex?

Hi All,
I have had a bit of a play and now have a screensaver that will play a video for you. It's currently classed as "beta", but is available to try by downloading the zip file from:
https://robwebset.googlecode.com/svn/rel...-0.0.1.zip
One bit still to finish is actually the icon (There is currently no text on it - should have the name: VideoScreensaver) will complete that soon.
So you have the option to either have it play your own video file, or a default Aquarium/Fireplace one - note that it will need to download the default ones when you select them, but it will be cached locally for future playing.
If people like this I will start enhancing it and putting in more stuff. I will also try and push it to the official repo.
Please give it a go and let me know how you get on.
Thanks
Rob

Hey, just a question if I pause a video will the screen saver activate and replace the currently playing video with lets say a fireplace?

No, if a video is paused, my testing has shown that is screen will just dim.

Thanks!, Using it on 2 raspberry pies currently... Just asking the community im a little worried running a video non stop on such a low powered computered. Will it shorten the life of the pi?

Does anyone know if this will still work in Jarvis?
2017-01-05, 21:14
There is video screen saver that works in Jarvis, but videos are not available... they were downloadable from the addon, but not anymore.. If anyone would have those....
