Screen Saver for Vizio Smart TV App

I recently purchased a Vizio Smart TV and immediately downloaded the Spotify application for it, since I can easily stream to my sound system from it. One thing that I would like to see added to the TV application would be a screen saver function. Screen burn is a big concern for a lot of people and simply adding a moving spotify logo could negate this concern.

How do I use album artowrk as a screen saver for atv gen2?

I can't seem to find a way to get my album artwork to display as a screen saver for my apple tv. I can get my pics from iphoto with no problem.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You'll need to create an album of your music artwork in iPhoto, the Apple TV doesn't have the facility to use album art in a screensaver.

Can I make a static screen saver for an LCD screen?

Can I make a static screen saver for an LCD screen? In researching screensavers the other day, I read an article saying that moving images were no longer necessary since that was important for cathode monitors and LEDs have no such problems but the iMacs are LCD. Do LCD get "Burn in"?
I need to know as I am making wallpaper and screensvers for the company I work at.

LCD's normally are not affected by any burn in, just use the computer. It's a wise idea to put the display to sleep when it's not in use. You can set the setting in System Preferences - Energy Saver. I set my display to sleep after 15 minutes of not being used and it goes black, I've done this for 8+ years and have never had any display issues.

Is it possible to disable the screen saver for a certain app?

Is it possible to disable the screen saver just while a certain application is running?
The app seems to crash when the screen saver comes on.
Just so you know, application I'm using is Hogwasher; a newsgroup reader.

Not really. Just disable it manually when you run that application. Then, send off a bug report to the app's developer and tell him to update it for the latest Tiger. Alternatively, use another newsgroup reader.

How Do I Create a Screen Saver for Mac

I need to create a screensaver for my mac OS 10.38. Can I use .SWF files to do this or a GIF? I tried dropping a .SWF movie into screensaver in Preferences but it didn't seem to work.
How can I animate a logo as a screen saver?

Hi,
Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
There are a few tools you can use. This page lists a couple. It looks like you can download a trial version and see if it'll do what you want. If not there's another one on that page.
If you're handy with programming, you can also create your own with Xcode. There's an article here that talks about it, though it's a bit old, and might be somewhat out of date.
But just dropping SWF files probably isn't going to work. A screen saver is a special kind of program...

Rotating text messages on Screen Saver for disabled person?

I have an iMac set up in my mum's living room, she has dementia and I use the computer to speak to her using Facetime and Skype.
I would like to be able to place rotating messages on the screensaver (in large font) to remind her of things e.g. when her shopping is due, with my phone number. I assume this is not possible with OS X, but is there an application that will allow me to do this i.e. rotating messages on screen saver with control of font size?
Thanks in advance

There's no completely simple way to do this but there's one way I can think of that doesn't require advanced geeking:
1. Set up a cloud service such as Dropbox or Google Drive so it runs on her computer and on your computer.
2. On her computer, set the screen saver to use PICTURES from a specific folder only, with whatever effect you like. Choose a folder that's inside the Dropbox or whatever that you set up.
3. Now you can create pictures yourself and put them inside that folder and know that they'll display on your Mum's screen saver. You can choose whatever font and colours and whatever that you want to use for each message.
43 Just make sure that you delete messages once you don't need them anymore, and that that folder only ever has one picture in it - less confusing. You'll probably want a default picture to put in there when there are no other messages, I'm not sure what would happen if the screen saver points to an empty folder.
This isn't the only way to solve the problem but it's probably the simplest.

Here is how to enable full screen mode for AIR Mac Desktop Apps

I just discovered that with a very simple native extension method, I can enable full screen mode for AIR Mac Desktop Applications.
This gets you the full screen icon in the top right, and it works perfectly with no changes to my code. (Obviously only works on Lion and above, since this is a Lion feature)
Enjoy.
Here's the code:
    FREObject _EnableFullScreenMode(FREContext ctx, void* functionData, uint32_t argc, FREObject argv[])
        //We should be okay to do this, even on 10.6, according to this post:
        //http://www.cocoabuilder.com/archive/cocoa/311124-implementing-full-screen-for-10-7-but-app-should-also-run-on-10-6.html
        //We can't use [NSApp mainWindow] - didn't appear to work
        //This seems to though:
        NSArray * allWindows = [NSApp windows];
        if (allWindows.count > 0)
            NSWindow *mainWindow = [allWindows objectAtIndex: 0];
            NSWindowCollectionBehavior behavior = [mainWindow collectionBehavior];
            behavior |= NSWindowCollectionBehaviorFullScreenPrimary;
            [mainWindow setCollectionBehavior:behavior];
        //TODO: Return a boolean instead depending on if we found the main window
        return NULL;

Press Control + Command + F on your keyboard to enter or exit full screen mode.

Time Machine crashes every time after the computer sleeps or goes into screen saver for a period of time

Time Machine works for me about 90% of the time, until I leave the computer alone for over a hour it seems and gets into the late screen saver stage or goes to sleep. After it does this Time Machine will not work, yet the hard drive is still fully fuctional. Please Advise.

Picasa collage style screen saver for MAC ?

Has anyone seen the screen saver that Google Picasa offers PC users that is called the Collage mode ?
What it does is when entering screen saver mode, instead of diplaying a traditional slide show with one pic after another, it begins this effect where the pictures start popping on - in a modified 4x6 aspect - and compositing over eachother in a random fashion thus creating a collage type effect.
It looks way cool !
So far, I can only ascertain that this 'collage mode screen saver' is a PC only option.
Does anyone know if this can be achieved on a mac ??
If so - please do tell.
Thanks
DB

Picasa is not currently available on the Mac - contact Google for information about any possible plan to provide it
I am not aware of a screen save like that but search MacFixit, version tracker and Apple downloads to see if you can find one

Screen Saver portion of System Preference App with 10.9.5 will not open

Screen saver with System Preference application will not open. All other Systemitems work fine.

Back up all data. Quit System Preferences if it's running.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it, then copy the text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
~/Library/Preferences/ByHost
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar. Paste into the box that opens (command-V), then press return. A folder should open. If it does, look for a file with a long name that begins "com.apple.screensaver". There may be several such files. Move them to the Trash.
Log out or restart the computer. Test. If the problem is resolved. recreate your settings in the Screen Saver tab.

Is there a sway to save a screen saver for sharing?

I made a screen saver using a folder of pictures and I would like to share it with Family, is there a way to save it.as a.mov file?

You should have iPhoto already installed as part of iLife. If so, then take the same folder of images you are using in Screensaver and use iPhoto to make it into a slideshow. You then select Share and "Send to iDVD" where you can set it up the way you want and burn to a DVD. If you like, you can instead select all the slides in iPhoto, go to Export, select the size, and a .mov file will be created. The largest size available is 640x480, whereas sending to iDVD creates a somewhat larger 720x640 movie.

Matrix Reloaded GL is a dinosaur software wise. Many many people report it is NOT compatible on Mountain Lion. Select a different screensaver, Matrix screensaver is not reliable or wont work at all on Mountain Lion OSX
** I found an update for you that claims that this patch now makes it work on mountain Lion, I havent tested it , but here it is:

Radio feature for Samsung Smart TV App

Hello, I would like to be able to start a radio station from the Samsung Smart TV application.

I signed up for Spotify Premium for two reasons.
1. Mobile Radio Feature
2. No commercials
I have happily used the radio feature on my computer and on my phone, but have found that it's not available on my Samsung TV app. I'm sure that there are contractual and technical reasons for this, but can anyone at Spotify tell me if attempts are being made to make the radio feature available on the Samsung TV app?
I work from home and use this app often, so listening to the same play lists over and over get's tedious. I can make and playlists with my iTunes account with no commercials for free which is making it very difficult for me to justify continuing to pay for Spotify Premium.

Changing the Screen Saver for the Login Window

I've found how I can change the WALLPAPER for the LOGIN Window.
How can I change the screensaver from the default to one that I have installed?
TECH INFO:
OS X 10.6.2
Admin account has desired screensaver loaded and activated.
The screensaver I'm wanting to have as the login window screensaver is MARINE AQUARIUM 3.0 (414)
THANKS!

ok, what you suggested definitely does NOT work as is. what does work as I found by doing a little googling is adding two entries specifically concerning the screensaver over login window to /library/preferences/com.apple.screensaver.plist. Namely, you need to add the keys loginWindowIdleTime and loginWindowModulePath. no other new entries are needed.
for example, the following/library/preferences/com.apple.screensaver.plist works for me.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>loginWindowIdleTime</key>
<integer>60</integer>
<key>loginWindowModulePath</key>
<string>/System/Library/Screen Savers/Nature Patterns.slideSaver</string>
<key>moduleDict</key>
<dict>
<key>moduleName</key>
<string>Skyrocket</string>
<key>path</key>
<string>System/Library/Screen Savers/Nature Patterns.slideSaver</string>
<key>type</key>
<integer>0</integer>
</dict>
</dict>
</plist>
so far i have not been able to make it work with any 3rd party screensavers even placed in /system/library/screensavers. launchd throws up an error when I try. still, this is MUCH better than nothing so thank you for letting us know about this.
