This page was written by Pluto and imported with their permission when LinuxMCE branched off in February, 2007. In general any information should apply to LinuxMCE. However, this page should be edited to reflect changes to LinuxMCE and remove old references to Pluto.
Photo Screen Saver is an OpenGL application that will slide different images which are get from www.flickr.com site.

They are downloaded by the script /usr/pluto/bin/flickr.pl The params of that script are: minwidth, minheight, and which number of previous days should be searched.

The all files are downloaded by at the folder /home/flickr/[year]/[mount]/[day]

After the script saves some files the PhotoScreenSaver (PSS) is started.

PSS is a child device of Orbiter which means that will get different parameters from the admin page and will be started/stoped by Orbiter itself.

What is the normal flow of PSS?
