just like it sounds, use any supported video file as your screensaver
I was unable to directly add slideshow support, you can however create a video file from your pics and music, which will work
feedback is welcome, also feel free to share screensavers you think the community will enjoy
the default screensaver is The Lost Watch II NV in 1080p, If you've never seen this here's the youtube clip I pulled the video from
Changlog

downloads
download available from svn use addons manager to install (has no default screensaver you must provide your own, download is only 16KB)
(100MB download, includes default screensaver)
I will not be uploading videoscreensaver.app.bin to svn, I see no reason to continue maintaining 2 versions, and there are plenty of screensavers linked below to get you started
Available Screensavers
Supported Devices
WDTV Live
WDTV Live Plus
Requirements
any WDLXTV firmware
DMAOSD_DEBUG must be "File" or "File + stderr" (first tab in WEC under "system")
if DMAOSD_DEBUG is "OFF" this will not work
Installation
put on root of thumbdrive
set DMAOSD_DEBUG (first tab in WEC under "system" if you've never used this select "File")
reboot
select videoscreensaver ON (WEC osd tab)
Optional
enter path to your custom screensaver (WEC osd tab)
enabled random selection of screensavers (WEC osd tab)
random requires setting a path to directory of screensavers (WEC osd tab)
Notes
if this fails for any reason you still get the normal screensaver
