Streaming video as a screensaver

Is this possible

[eljefe3]

Suppose I have a yard full of Panda bears and I would like all panda lovers to be able to see live video of their favorite furry animals from China as their screensaver ( and also from their favorite Panda URL). Is this possible? If so what technologies are needed/used for this. I've done a search for this but can't really find anything that addresses this specifically.

It sure is possible.

A Windows screen saver differs from a standard exe in one area only. It has a .scr extension instead of .exe

Once placed in the Windows directory it will show up as a choice in the screensavers

Because of this it is relatively simple to build a Windows executable application that will stream the Pandas to your Panda viewing users.

If you have a specific stream in mind then let me know and I'll happily knock one up for you (Screensaver that is not the Pandas) gratis [It'll be basic though]
