Is it possible to create a screen saver from
a .mov (movie) clip?
The xscreensaver screensaver will play a movie or a playlist of several
movies as the screensaver. The xscreensaver FAQ has a entry on this at
https://www.jwz.org/xscreensaver/faq.html#mpeg
The command I use in my own personal ~/.xscreensaver config file looks
like this. It plays randomly selected videos from a M3U playlist:
"Play Movies" mpv --really-quiet --no-audio --fs \
--loop=inf --no-stop-screensaver \
--shuffle --wid=$XSCREENSAVER_WINDOW \
/raidarray/Videos/xscreensaver.m3u \n\
The RPM for the MPV video player has to be installed. MPV will play
most types of movie files, including *.mov files. My m3u playlist
contains a collection of the Apple NASA ISS and drone flyover *.mov videos.
