A basic video player screensaver for Windows, written in C#. Requires .NET 4.5 runtimes. Compatible with most video formats. Hard to find good alternatives out there, so I wrote my own.

User Reviews

  • Great job, works fine!
  • It doesn't fill full screen in 100% (bars on top and bottom) when the ratio is 16:10. Settings only allow you to select Video and nothing else.. However, it works even in win11
  • Now that I figured it out again, It works really well. Thankful for a way to add my own videos to use as a screensaver. Thanks to my fellow geeksters!
  • I actually was considering writing my own screensaver but this one does almost everything I wanted it to do, and then some. I appreciate that the code is here. I made minor modifications to fit what I wanted and it works great. Thanks!
  • Works extremely well on my two Windows 11 PC's , it's a great solution to making a video screensaver absolutely brilliant and just what I was looking for, Thankyou
