Option to toggle location names while screensaver is running

That's a good idea, I'll add it to the list. On Apple TV, you tap the remote (not press)... so I wonder if pressing the OK button or pressing UP would work... thoughts?

Funnily enough "Up" was my first thought as "OK" is quite an instinctual press to end the screensaver. I suppose the issue would be how you handle custom media (When it's supported), I guess it just doesn't have metadata support?

[theothernt]

Yeah, non-Apple videos would be an issue. The metadata for Apple's videos is not in the video itself, there's a separate list of text strings with time codes.

Thinking a bit more about the issue with custom videos and their location names. One simple option is to use the filename without the extension, and apply proper casing. For example...

wicklow mountains.mp4 -> "Wicklow Mountains"
enniskerry-waterfall.mkv -> "Enniskerry Waterfall"

This would apply to a) local files and b) network shares only.

Would like to +1 this feature for parity against the Apple Remote setup
