Screensaver when paused (2 Viewers)

I totally agree that the screensaver should kick in when the video is paused for more than a few minutes. What happens if someone's kid hits pause and then goes away and forgets about it? If it's an easy thing to implement with a configuration option I think it should be done.

Some of us with plasmas are very paranoid about burn-in. When XBMC for Windows is ready for primetime I might switch to it for this reason alone.

Screensaver when video or tv are paused would be fine

One more for the screensaver when paused.

Right now using a windows screensaver that dims the picture so that when there is no activity in MP the screen will go to a dimmed state. Just as in XBMC.
The only problem is that when tv/video is paused the screen saver will not activate. It activates ok even when playing music, so the music doesn't even have to be paused which is perfect in my mind.

Agreed. The screensaver should come into effect when paused or stopped. And rather than just blanking the screen, which itself can lead to burn-in on some analog connections (rear projection CRT over component, plasma over component, etc.) there should be an option to actually have a moving image, like the MP logo dancing around the screen.
