Screensaver app?

[mjpd1]

I've created a couple videos using Kinoma Producer which, when viewed thru Kinoma Player, act as sort of a screensaver. Now, by default, the Clie turns itself off after 3 minutes. Could an app be written that would allow you to specify something ELSE to happen after 3 minutes? Like say, Launch Kinoma/screensaver.pdb? Then after 3 minutes, instead of my Clie turning off, it launches Kinoma Player, and loads the specified clip. I think this would be a killer app to have. If you want to see the video I'm using as my "screensaver", you can download it at www.mjpd.com. Thanks for any replies I get about this!:)

I dunno if its possible...but that doesn't sound very good for battery life :)

Hehe, obviously not. However, I tested my screensaver video for 2 hours, unplugged, and it barely touched my battery life. But the screensaver app that I'm thinking of would mainly be utilized while IN-cradle, giving you something nice to look at while it's charging or just sitting idle.

Nice! Thanks for the link! Now here's another question, that I'll probably have to direct elsewhere...could a shortcut be created to the video file itself, that when selected, it would launch that file in Kinoma? As of now, I have to launch Kinoma, and then select the video I want to watch (kind of like opening Word before opening a document). What I'd like to do is be able to select the video and have launch in Kinoma (like double-clicking a doc and having it open in Word). If this is possible, then this hack would work perfectly for acting as a screensaver app! Thanks again for the link.
