xXSagaiaXx 25 Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 I would love to see a screensaver like WMC has with the photowall. My wife loves this in WMC and when MBTcomes out and switch everything over from WMC this is a much needed feature. 8
Crossland 2 Posted January 30, 2019 Posted January 30, 2019 Well, since this was posted in 2014 and it still hasn't happened, I guess it really won't then? 2
ebr 15672 Posted January 30, 2019 Posted January 30, 2019 On a feature like this we go by interest and this didn't get much.
WalBob 9 Posted February 7, 2019 Posted February 7, 2019 I'm in favor of this feature as welll. Have recently migrated from WMC to Emby Theater and the whole family miss seeing our photo collection on the screen saver and are nagging me about it! 1
WalBob 9 Posted February 7, 2019 Posted February 7, 2019 This would be a popular feature... there is other prior support: https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/22874-photos-pictures-slideshow/?hl=screensaver#entry223741
riverboat2001 20 Posted April 15, 2019 Posted April 15, 2019 This would be a popular feature... there is other prior support: https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/22874-photos-pictures-slideshow/?hl=screensaver#entry223741 I'd love to see this feature added. 1
pRonclus 0 Posted May 22, 2019 Posted May 22, 2019 Just set-up a photo library and would like to see this feature also. Would like to suggest option that picks images from selected folders, where those selected folders could be photos and/or backdrops for media and that this "screensaver" loads even if the app is open in the forefront whether or not a user is logged in.
informaweb 8 Posted May 23, 2019 Posted May 23, 2019 and more, I would like to have the choice of displaying the screen saver. choose between: (or checkbox) 1 - Album photo (with choice of album to use or "all") 2 - Film / series poster (with choice of genre, media library and in accordance with parental control) 3 - Album of music album (with choice of genre) 4 - All (or check box to choose what you want.) 1
eraser8 46 Posted June 26, 2019 Posted June 26, 2019 I really give to this my vote!! It is the last step I need to set Emby-Theater to totaly replace my WMC... My wife and I love to check some souvenir pictures. Thanks for that
darkassassin07 620 Posted June 26, 2019 Posted June 26, 2019 I'd love to see more visualization options during music playback in general. Trippy visualizers, photo slideshows, a simple va-meter style thing, that sorta stuff.
eraser8 46 Posted June 26, 2019 Posted June 26, 2019 Yep, I agree. This is a big part of vizualisation missing for emby Theater that have purpose to replace WMC. But I hope they will get these features soon!!
Red5ive 30 Posted October 21, 2019 Posted October 21, 2019 Just adding my +1 for this. Just think it's odd as there is already a built in screen-saver in Theater but not being able to do a slideshow of your own pictures? Think that was an option in windows 95!
Luke 40116 Posted November 12, 2019 Posted November 12, 2019 With the Emby Server 4.3 release, the web app will have a few screensaver options: Emby Logo, Backdrops, and Photos. Emby Theater has these now.

Emby Theater has these now. Hi Luke - Thanks for the update, however, I am running EMBY Theater 3.0.10 and this 'does not' have an option to select a directory (and subdirectories) with Photos as an option for the screensaver. It only has LOGO and Backdrop options unless I have missed something? I am also only running release, not Beta versions.

More options are possible for the future. Thanks.
Malmgren 17 Posted November 27, 2019 Posted November 27, 2019 Are screensaver something that is also planned for smart tv apps? I'd really love to have my photos on my tv :-) /Daniel

heula 192 Posted July 19, 2023 Posted July 19, 2023 -On Emby for Android (Shield TV) there is no option for the screensaver. It would be nice to have a screensaver that shows photos from my photo collection with tag/label or optional other info (like date taken, location) displayed in them. So +1 for me. 1 1
