Is it like the WMC photo screensaver?

 

I mean conceptually same idea, it doesn't zoom out and show a bunch of pictures at once, but i wrote it with the intent of simulating the same basic functionality ...  it's actually more like sageTV's photo screen saver if you've ever seen that.

Has anyone found a way to install this plugin on the newer versions of Emby Theater?

The option to install from a URL seems to have disappeared.

Just bumping this.

Is there a way to still use this plugin under the current version of Emby Theatre?

 

Luke: can you confirm is there is a way or has support for it been dropped?

It may return in the future. Thanks.

 

This is the one thing the the old Samsung community app had that I miss was an option to choose photos as your screensaver instead of something like the Emby logo

A photo screensaver option is being added to Theater. 

 

OK, but where does it get the pictures from, there's no option for it?

 

Is this something in the upcoming server?

 

Thanks & Ciao, Alfred

Would be handy to have a choice.

 

Fr'instance, I've put pretty much all our photos into Emby, including quite pleasant views of the local area, and ones I record of serial numbers and receipts of electronics and stuff I buy. I know which would make a better screensaver...

Great to see the photo screen saver has been added but it is really basic.

Would like to see some options added in the near future, here's my list (in order of importance):

 

1.Be able to choose whether to have an image caption and to choose what.

At the moment we have the file name displayed on screen with no option to disable it. That would be fine but all my photos have a file name like DCR_251006, not very informative or appealing. Would be better to read the photo exif data and give us the option of date or location.

 

2.Being able to choose a library or being able to exclude certain folders.

like arrbee99 above I have some folders with random stuff that would not be great on my TV screen!

 

3.Some better transitions or 'Ken burns' effects.

The static image with quick fade is very dull. The old Windows Media Center screensaver was the best at this but even a simple pan and scan would be an improvement.

 

Hope to see all of these in the near future ;-)
