      There was a thread that talked about how to get a video screensaver going. I can't seem to find it anymore and I'm wondering if anyone knows if there is still one working with the 4.2 update?

          There's the original one from @fieldofcows and a more recent one I put up, with a build having OMX player and random game launching. Alas, it does not have some of the most recent changes to ES, namely carousel theming and a few other tweaks.

          Still it works fine with 4.2, not a bother.

          What do you have in mind with "working in 4.2"?

            @pjft Oh The Field Of Cows one, asked you to update ES I think first, so I wasn't sure if you still needed to do that or not? Is yours similar to his? How do I install it?

              @Dominus You may find the instructions to install it here:

              Mine is certainly based on his, so not many changes. You would do well in updating RetroPie as whole, yes, though EmulationStation will be different.
