Video Loop Screensaver/Plugin - Tim. - 2008-11-16
Okay so I am curious if this is possible, and if so how hard it would be to make. Let’s say for example I have a 40min long video file of a fireplace burning with crackling noises etc. What I want to do is make either a plugin or screensaver that would allow me to play this video (with its sound effects) easily (without having to go into Videos -> Network -> PC -> Folder -> File). The idea obviously being so that I can effectively click a button that will instantly turn XBMC into a fireplace emulation.
This should be simple enough I figure. Next I have another idea. I want to be able to play a selection of music while this loop is playing. For example while the fire video is looping (with its sound effects) I want to be able to play music as well; giving the effect of sitting in front of a fire and playing music in the background.
I am aware these requests seem somewhat specific, but I think it would be an interesting screensaver/plugin idea. I also have 20min long videos of aquariums, etc. Ideally I would like to be able to customize the plugin for whatever video source desired.
Any input would be greatly appreciated!

It would be better if there was just a video supported screen saver...
