Streaming video as screensaver...
Deozaan:
In Windows XP you can get the Windows XP Video Screensaver PowerToy that uses Windows Media Player as the screensaver.
I think that you should be able to select a playlist to play, from the options. If you can get the stream saved as a playlist file, it should work.
Jabberwock:
Unfortunately, this does not work... It crashes when I put URL or a playlist with the URL in the specified directory. Regular movies work just fine.
Curt:
I have no problems playing the video with Active Media Player - just use the url I provided: http://afczoo-pandacam.wm.llnwd.net/afczoo_pandacam?e=1224302400&h=83fc3b7a262e191300be4557d3f2d5fb
Jabberwock:
Well, it does not work for me, as I wrote before.
Deozaan:
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...

Maybe it's a codec problem. You could try installing the K-Lite Codec Pack.
