Web-driven screensaver? - Darkseid - 2013-05-03
I would be so grateful for help! I'm a member of Keep Llangollen Special, a community group in Llangollen, North Wales, UK, and we want to connect residents, businesses, societies, groups and clubs together. Regrettably, the only code I can write is IBM 370 Assembler!
What I'm looking for is a customisable screensaver we can distribute free to anyone with internet access by displaying images from a page on our own website, updating in realtime. So far, I've only found "free" software that really isn't or carries adware. It needs to be made so that it can be distributed as a download from our website or on miniCDs. It needs to be a simple, no-options install so any user at all can find it easy.
We will use it to promote local societies, local news, special offers from our independent shopkeepers and businesses (not supermarkets).
If you an help me, please do - it's a very worthy cause! If you're a developer and can see general benefit from this, so much the better.

XBMC would probably be overkill for something like this.

Sorry, I'm a complete newbie here and I don't understand your meaning. Are you saying my request is too simplistic and I should try another forum?

Not XBMC related but:
HTML5, javascript plus the canvas tag should work.

It doesn't seem your requirement has anything whatsoever to do with the XBMC Media Center application, which is what this site and these forums support.
