The TvTunes Screensaver makes use of the themes configured in your library to use them as a screensaver.




Introduction

TvTunes Screensaver is a versatile screensaver that can be used to:

  • View artwork for TV Shows and Movies
  • Play TV or Movie themes while showing artwork
  • Show a set of different images in various display formats

It was originally designed to work well with TvTunes but can also be used to just display images if you would rather theme audio was not played in the background.


Screensaver Formats

The following formats are available within TvTunes Screensaver

Slider - This will slide the images into view from either the left, right, top or bottom of the screen. TvTunes-Screensaver-Slider.JPG
Crossfade - will fade one image in over the top of the next image TvTunes-Screensaver-Crossfade.JPG
TableDrop - will drop each image onto the screen at random overlaps and angles TvTunes-Screensaver-Tabledrop.JPG
StarWars - will show a stream of images similar to the Star Wars intro sequence TvTunes-Screensaver-Starwars.JPG
RandomZoomIn - will randomly zoom in to each image in turn TvTunes-Screensaver-RandomZoomIn.JPG
AppleTVLike - like the Apple TV Screensaver, will scroll a mix of images up from the bottom of the screen TvTunes-Screensaver-AppleTVLike.JPG
GridSwitch - will show several images at the same time in a grid format TvTunes-Screensaver-GridSwitch.JPG
Random - will randomly show one of the above screensaver formats

There are several options for each of the different screen saver that control the speed images move or how frequently the image changes.
