Screensaver in ES
-
I checked the Wiki and searched the forums but I couldn't find any recent topics on this. I know some updates have been made to enable video screensavers recently which plays random video snaps, but is it possible to set a dedicated screensaver that's just a video file saved on my Pi?

@thewinterdojer I haven't done any testing of the screensaver stuff, but I believe this was the original post about it:

@hurricanefan I saw that earlier, but reading through it seems like it's still just about playing random video snaps and not a video of choice. I guess it's not something that can be done as of yet!

@thewinterdojer Good news is there is work still being done on screensaver stuff.

@hurricanefan Sweet. I don't have any video snaps loaded currently and it doesn't look like the video one supports a custom directory but the image one is exactly what I was looking for, thanks!
Edit: I realize this isn't really a support question. I apologize and will post in the correct forum next time.
