Screen Saver Mode - Image Slide Show & MP4 Demo Mode #79

Screen Saver Mode I'd really love to have a screen saver / demo mode like what's available in Retro Pie that supports random images, animated GIFs and others as well as MP4 video+audio.

A Selectable Mode Or Timer Based Screen Saver Mode Aside from playing games on it I'd also like to have it on display in my office and wear at conventions and such as an animated convention badge. I'd honestly be okay even with a mode that I could manually select to start a random show of images and movies from a specific folder, or both a "no input for "x" minutes" screen saver mode. This feature would help the project be a solid display piece too on top of a functional game machine!

Alternative Or Similar Solutions RetroArch has a screensaver mode to emulate "Demo Mode" in arcade and console games, I'd love for it to look similar to a feature like that!

I would definitely appreciate this feature and with the number of people out there who have custom Gameboy Pocket systems as a display piece, I imagine there are many others out there who might appreciate a feature like this as well!
