Description Mickey Gee 2009-07-26 12:46:49 UTC

CAT testers for Baby had a thread about supporting Chumby-like screensavers:

NIMA SHAH said:For same reasons to check facebook and news and other apps supported. I agree not email as much but twitter would be a great addition. IMHO

Ian McKenney said: Right - and I wouldn’t see any reason to use an internet radio to check Facebook/News/other apps, either. But, it’s kind of cool that you can do it.

Dave Hascall said: Actually, instead of using it as a clock when in standby, I would love to see a Times Square style news ticker displayed.

John Shoemaker said: A simple RSS screensaver would be awesome.  I checked the screensaver options and you can have pics and stuff like that, but no RSS feeds.  I think that would be a great idea.  I’ll make it as a suggestion.

Every single one of these things is in the gameplan for "Now Playing 2.0," though we'll also have a lot of music playback related stuff hopefully.

Nice to see a demand for this sort of thing.  If we have time to get these types of screensavers ready for 7.4 I'm all for it.

Targeting for next release

Comment 3 Andy Grundman 2009-07-30 10:43:17 UTC

I believe we'll only have Facebook for 7.4.

Adding my vote for twitter next.
Something for weather would be nice, too.

Comment 5 Weldon Matt 2009-08-17 13:03:49 UTC

Twitter is coming this fall.  It actually, hopefully, will be much more than just a screensaver.  Stay tuned...

Request for Twitter app: If you plan on doing something that will let us tweet listens, provide options to include a baked in prefix and/or suffix. Thanks.
