Is it possible to configure a key to activate the screensaver on demand?

I like to use the screensaver to display a photo slideshow while playing music, and would like to be able to start that just by pressing 1 button on my remote.

I guess I could put the screensaver on a really short idle timer but would rather not....

Thanks!

You can start a slideshow on keypress - see the builtin functions in the online manual. There is also likely a function to do this in the new json-rpc interface.

You can start a slideshow on keypress - see the builtin functions in the online manual.

e.g. creating a userdata\keymaps\keyboard.xml containing:

Code:

<keymap>
  <global>
    <keyboard>
      <p mod="alt">SlideShow(C:\MyPictures)</p>
    </keyboard>
  </global>
</keymap>

configures alt-P to start a slideshow using the pictures in C:\MyPictures.
