Title: Screensaver Video
Post by: Mangaclub on November 21, 2018, 05:05:22 AM
Greetings,
i am here on a raspberry Pi and trying to figure out a way how to load a single mp4 video file as soon the screensaver mode enables.
I though about combining it with the command for the blank screen and ffmpeg somehow or is there a more elegant way todo so ?

My list of attractmode bugs to fix and features to add for people is growing, but my time to do this stuff is shrinking. Spend the time and learn it. If you need help, can always steer you in the right direction.

I have a screensaver that plays only a single video full screen. I can post it up in a bit. I posted it up in your other post
