I love photography and I love my photoblog ;-)

Last month, I tried to find on Internet a Windows screen saver that could download my photoblog's RSS feed and display the last pictures in a slideshow way but I couldn't find one. Since my RSS 2.0 feed contains media:content tags (like the feeds from Flickr), I decided to build one from scratch.

And voilà ! I did it ! ... moreover, anybody can download it and use it for free, with any feed !

Features :

• compatible with any RSS 2.0 feeds embedding images through media:content or enclosure tags (thus compatible with any Flickr feed)
• RSS feeds and images are refreshed in background
• supports caching (minimizes your Internet bandwidth usage)
• displays pictures full screen with (or without) their title
• supports GIF/BMP/JPEG/PNG/TIFF image formats
• fully configurable... feed URL, feed refresh interval, slideshow interval, background color, text color...
• C# source code and projects available (distributed under the GPL license)

Requirements :

• A computer running Windows 2000 or XP (I don't know if it works under Windows 95/98/Me) with .NET 2.0 Framework (if this component is not installed, the installer will do it)

• download the last revision of the Media Feed Screen Saver (installer)
