Installed the screensaver add on and pointed it to my Windows shared picture folder (that contains over 15K images in several folders).
All works nice for few minutes but then the screen blacks out while image date & time information on lower right corner still changes every 5 seconds as if the images are still running.

Any idea why that happens?

My Rpi B+ 512Mb has the same behavior with SOME pictures as well.

Unfortunately, it seems I can only add locally stored directories as source? Or am I missing some simple way to use a SMB shared folder as the image source directory?

When pulling pull the copies and store them locally and periodically check to see if any have been added or removed from drop box. Also if it could play video

I think as you have suggested, the 'standard' fanart is stored in userdata and referenced somewhere in the default databases. This is what the slideshow uses. There is also the 3rd party plugin for 'extrafanart' which creates a \extrafanart\ subdirectory in each and every individual movie folder and puts the images in there (provided there was some artwork to download etc). Given the names of these files are some kind of GUID, I suspect them to also be stored in a database, but are probably in a a db or table that is used just by the add-on etc.

If I fnd where these references are stored in the database, would it possible to also include these in the screensaver slideshow? It woyld be good if it could use both stores at the same time. Fanart+extrafanart etc.

I completely understand if you don't want to develop this option but if you don't ask, you don't get. :-)

Thanks!

I guess its not an option then? :-(
