Is "Photo Wall" WMC screensaver supported?
Has anyone tried the "photo wall" screensaver with the Echo? That is, the wall of thumbnails that pans around and then one picture is zoomed in on, etc. I really like this on the PC...

Nope. The only "screen saver" is a dimming of the screen.

Which isn't the same thing. The slide show screensaver is one of my wife and kids' favorite things about media center. They love how it zooms in and out of the screen full of thumbnails.hoonk wrote:but like any extender you can view your photos and start a slide show with the echo

That's too bad. Does anyone know if this could ever be supported by the Echo (does it have enough "horsepower")?ucfknight wrote:Nope. The only "screen saver" is a dimming of the screen.

I doubt that it has anything to do with "horsepower". If the Echo is capable of displaying full motion video, then it can certainly display moving images of still photographs. The problem is probably built into the special remote desktop interface that is used by extenders.
