Hi

Is there a way to initiate the Multi SlideShow ScreenSaver add-on from a XBMC menu item? For example in Aeon MQ5 on the IMAGES main menu, I'd like to create a sub-menu item that when selected would manually initiate the screen saver to be displayed. Looking in the Aeon MQ5 menu customization there doesn't appear to be a way to assign a screensaver add-on to a menu item.

Why would you want to do this? The default option in Settings - Appearance - ScreenSaver - Use Visualization if playing audio. Is enabled by default. To have the screensaver appear whilst playing music you have to turn this setting off.

However I quite like the Visualization whilst playing music, but sometimes I would want to manually initiate the Multi SlideShow ScreenSaver instead if I want to see my photos whilst listening to music!

Thanks.

EDIT: This JSON command in a browser launches the screen saver.

Code:

http://192.168.1.100:80/jsonrpc?request={ "jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "GUI.ActivateWindow", "params": { "window": "screensaver", "parameters": [ "WINDOW_SCREENSAVER" ] }, "id": 1 }

However I am then unable to exit the screensaver using the remote control.
