General Software Discussion / Streaming video as screensaver...

Hello,

I wanted to please my kid and show the streaming video of the panda cub from the Atlanta Zoo, found here:

as a screensaver... However, much to my surprise, there is no working software that could do that?

I've found one program, Active Player Screensaver, but it refuses to play that video link (complaining about a decompressor). What's funny, it does not play even the sample feed it has configured...

Microsoft has a plugin for Windows Media Player, but this one only plays files, not Internet streaming video (beats me why, as it uses the same WMP functionality).

I know I can fake it by starting WMP after scheduled idle time, but I hoped for a more elegant solution...

General Software Discussion / Autoreplace in clipboard

I have read some "clipboard tool" forums, but have not found an answer to my question...

That is: is there a freeware app that would replace the text in the clipboard with something else? It would be nice if it did just that, I am not in need of a bloated clipboard manager. Ease of adding of new entries and flexibility (regexp?) would be an added benefit...

There are many programs that do that (Wallpaper Cycler, Wallpaper Master) and many freeware changers, but I cannot find one that combines those two advantages...
