Video(s) as screensaver in Mint?
Is it possible to set up Mint to show videos instead of pictures in the screensaver?

to have a random list of videos you can use the playlist function of MPlayer :
The script :The playlist can be a simple text file with the path to a video file on each line.Code: Select all
#! /bin/bash ## setup MPlayer aruments, remove -nosound if you want the video ## to play sound. If you have to specify the video driver to use ## then add that to the list MPLAYERARGS="-nosound -nolirc -wid $XSCREENSAVER_WINDOW -nostop-xscreensaver -fs -really-quiet" exec mplayer $MPLAYERARGS -loop 0 -shuffle -playlist /path/to/playlist
