Usage
Screensaver
The screensaver will start automatically after some amount of time. Due to restrictions on screensavers, no action is available and any button press will exit the screensaver. The screensaver will rotate through the last few Bing Pictures, display the image credit and a clock.
The clock (if displayed) moves very slowly in order to prevent screen burn in.
Settings
The screensaver has a few parameters that can be tweaked. To access the settings screen, navigate to Settings / Theme / Screensavers / B.P.O.D. then press Ok. Then select Change screensaver settings
- Clock Format - 12h / 24h or Off (no clock at all)
- Title - Always / Start / End / Start + End - Let you adjust when the title of the image gets displayed
- Margin - Adds a border around the screen and can be changed in the event your TV renders the text outside the visible area
- Brightness - Let you adjust the brightness of the image
