I recall that you had stated some time ago that you were working on a screensaver plugin for mythtv. I don't recall hearing anything after that. Have you made any progress on this? My understanding is that at the moment mythtv only supports DPMS and not xscreensaver. I would like to be able to have a slideshow of mythgallery images displayed for a screensaver using either xscreensaver or mythgallery, however I don't believe we currently have this capability. Am I wrong or is anyone working on this feature?
Thanks,

At the moment, I added a "Global slideshow" (randomly display all images) feature to mythgallery. This gets called when idle time exceeds a preset limit, and the screensaver has not been disabled (within mythtv). Some time ago, I wrote in some hooks to run modules from xscreensaver (or any program that can take over a window and display something), but I never used it much. Later I ended up writing a module to play a slideshow.. So, I dumped that and went to simply using mythgallery for this. (Why do it twice?)
What do I need to do to use mythgallery as a screensaver for mythtv?
Thanks, Bob C
