Feature request: Slideshow Screensaver (NOW WITH PRIZES)

Feature Suggestions
1

I've read a bunch of threads, I know it's been brought up in the normal forums a dozen times, but I didn't find anything when I searched the Plexpass forum.

 

I REALLY miss the old media slideshow screen saver.  Not only was I able to impress guests (and sometimes offend- I'm looking at you, Cathouse), but it was tons of fun calling out what show or movie different images were from.

 

Is this silly? Yes.
A big deal? Probably not.

Something that I really, really, really, really, really miss?  Ya, kinda.
 

 

Is there really no way to deal with downloading / caching artwork specifically for this purpose?  
 

I'm officially putting up a reward for this feature.   For the man/woman that gets this feature figured out, and put back in to an official release, I send this gift.

And yes, I have prime.

I miss the screensaver slide show so, so much.

Have you guys seen how AppleTV does photo slideshows/screensaver?  It's incredible.  I really wish we could have something like this for Plex.

I miss it a lot.  We have thousands of digital photographs that we no longer look at.  We used to sit in front of the TV for hours watching the Plex slideshow screensaver.

I completely agree, I'd happily buy someone a few beers for bringing this back!! Question is though.... will it appear on someone's to do list....? ;)

Starting to think this has fallen off of Santa's list..... :(

You could even have this work with chromecast .. if pictures ever got working.. if the movie was paused for over an amount of time it could change to the picture slideshow.

Not being a developer, just a user: I see the background of my theme change all the time with different artwork form my catalog, why not a screen saver?

So uhm, question: Is the Star Trek bathrobe used or new? If the former, I politely decline.

Dev's choice.  No judgement here.

Been asking for this for years

This is one of the main reasons I use a different skin.  Also one of the main reasons I continue to use a Mini instead of a Roku or anything else for a player as I can change the skin.

My favorite skin that has this feature being Aeon.

What's that?  You want me to sweeten the deal?  WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY SO??


Because this show deserved more than two seasons.
