Request: Title of background item in screensaver mode

In screensaver mode Plex on my mac shows me different pictures from different things - TV shows, movies, albums, etc.   Some of them I recognize but some of them I definitely don't.

 

It'd be nice to have something like "Movies - Fast & Furious" or "TV Shows - Grimm" show up somewhere.   I'd say in the bottom right corner since I'm looking left-to-right, top-too-bottom but the top right corner would be OK, too.

 

I've checked and I can adjust the dimness or turn off the screensaver or make it black.   I don't want to do those - I like that Plex is "surfacing content" that I forgot I had.   And there's no option that I can find to tell me what that content is.

 

Thanks.

I wish there was some way to identify the title of the current screen save image, maybe by holding down a special key it plays a little melody?
