no images displayed once the saver is installed

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. installed saver, everything seemingly ok.
2. go to preview of it in Display Prefs, no images when I select this
screen saver
3. uninstalled then reinstalled, same results.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead? supposed to see cam
images, i see none.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
current win xp version

Please provide any additional information below. i use adaware pro/adblock,
avg, spywareguard, etc. maybe they are blocking the ss? only a guess, no
idea as nothing happens when i select this ss. any help is greatly
appreciated :)

Same problem, also on a mac.  But loads run fine if I just double click it to 
load in
quartz composer.  Related to the slow/start stop problem?

I am using a mac and the black screen is frequent. If I try to preview the 
screensaver, I always get a black screen. When I let the screensaver come on, 
about 8 times out of 10 it will work(with frequent freeze ups) and the other 
two times the screen is black.

I have extracted the list of camera URLs using Quartz Composer and tested them 
all via a shell script and wget.

Many of the cameras can't be connected to and others are now mandating 
authorisation.

I am reasonably confident that this is the cause of the various blank screen 
issues that people are experiencing.

My plan is to use the wget log to assemble a replacement list of working URLs 
and embed that into the screensaver.

Obviously a more longterm solution is required.  Downloading a list of current 
valid URLs from a central server would seem to make sense, since the 
screensaver inevitably requires a working Internet connection.

Looks like what is needed is an update to the screensaver that connects to the 
public-viewpoints server used by the iPhone app.

I'm using the screen saver on OS X and nothing ever comes up. just a black 
screen.. Is there some part of the installation that I'm missing? I just select 
it from the 'screen savers' list in the Settings menu..
