This is more o less a 2-for-1 petition since the first one would fit inside the second one :)
The idea is to add an option to the screensaver config that when you left the XBMC open without playing (or paused) nothing it launch a selected playlist (better if it's random music :p ).
I'm thinking this because (at last :D ) i could be able to conect my XBox to the music stereo so i can have it playing music all the time with the TV off just switching the console. Sometime ago i tried with an autolaunch script that i must to disabled but was a little illness since i must to disable it at every launch to use the console (too much dificult if i want that my parent use it) and it doesn't work if i left the console alone, so the screensaver is a better option (and, of course, this doesn't make sense to make a custom screensaver for this when this is a feature that can be usable with any other...).
And the second one it's just to launch a python script so you can play a playlist or do any other thing :p
Well, i think this is not difficult to implement, just add a little function to check if there is a file (music, movie...) playing and if not launch the script/playlist, and add the entries in the screensaver config area, nothing more.
Hum, i'm thinking that maybe the best is to add the two things, the playlist and the python script: you wouldn't want to launch the playlist if you are playing anything else, but maybe you would want to launch the script always... ???
