Sub,
Given that the MediaMVP has such a terrible screensaver in idle and music mode, which seems virtually impossible to remove, don't you think we could do better? Â
Presumably if a GBPVR screensaver kicked in (after a minute with no rendering or video) pushing a black bitmap every few seconds, that would stop MVP's screen saver from kicking in (overriding it)... which has to be a good thing.
In Phase 2: I'm thinking of customisable screen saver plugins, maybe just an extention of the existing Plugin API, which GBPVR could kick off when the video is idle: we could then have people write basic animations, or a PicturesRotatorPlugin ;-)
Regards,
Ecruos
