Start Screensaver instantly on startup for picture frame
#1
I know this question has been asked a lot as i found many hits on google but no helpful answer yet.

I'd like to set up my RasPi as a picture frame with libreelec and slideshow screensaver. I chose this way because the setup process is very easy. Even if it's not "the right tool for the job".

Only "problem" is, that the minimum time for screensaver start is 30 seconds. Is it possible to reduce screensaver start time to less than 5 secs via editing some config file?

Found this code:
Code:
{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"GUI.ActivateWindow","id":1,"params":{"window":"screensaver"}}
Can i add this to some kind of autoexec file?

Hey,

This is very old post but it come's in top pages on google, so i landed here. But surprisingly there is no reply/answer to the problem here. Can holy sole please post a solution as this is very useful solution to make a no code solution to create a pi frame.

Thanks,

not exactly a 'no code' solution

you will still have to code an auto exec addon

and the json rpc code above is also incorrect, showing the screensaver window doesn't start the screensaver, it just shows a window

as the github issue response points out you need to use ActivateScreensaver
