Hi All,
I've developed a new plugin for Media Portal 1 that allows you to display a slide show of pictures in customizable templates. I'll also be submitting a patch shortly for Media Portal to allow you to choose a plugin as your "screensaver." EDIT: Good news, version 1.6 will allow you to have a plugin as a screensaver. Below is a link the the wiki page I created explaining how it works and how to get it setup.

Version History
1.0.0.4 - Updated templates to fix layout issues (WILL OVERWRITE EXISTING TEMPLATES)
- Fixed bug in the setup form that would cause templates to become disabled
1.0.0.3 - Changed settings locations - MUST REBUILD CACHE, if you already created some of your own templates you'll need to copy these from the C:\ProgramData\Team Media Portal\MPSlideshowTemplates.xml to C:\ProgramData\MPPhotoslideshow folder
-Photos now keep their aspect ratio and fit to a template based on certain aspect ratio ranges (see wiki)
-New setting to enable/disable a template if you don't need it (eg. new panorama template)
-Removed label position settings as these are now set programmatically (WIP - having a hard time getting these position right when keeping the aspect ratio)
-Default label color is now white as they don't appear on the photos anymore but rather below
1.0.0.2 - No longer allow overlay. Change timer calculation, so photos show at least as long as the value entered.
1.0.0.1 - Fix installer issue that wouldn't let you install on older versions of Media Portal
1.0.0.0 - Initial Release
