Too old question but here is another way to play a list of videos as screensaver: Once this code has been put in, use Ctrl+ S to save, and then change your screensaver to your new one. (ex: *.mp4) The -shuffle tag can also be applied to make the videos play in a random order. If you want to play all the videos in a folder, put something like $HOME/Videos/* You can also limit it to a specific file format by putting that format after the asterisk. "fileDirectory" can be made a single file, or a folder. On the top of the list, put in code similar to this: "Screensaver Name" mpv -really-quiet -no-audio -no-stop-screensaver -loop=inf -fs -wid=$XSCREENSAVER_WINDOW $HOME/fileDirectory Scroll down to the part of the code that says "programs". Go into Terminal, and type gedit ~/.xscreensaver. Mpv can be installed by typing sudo apt-get install mpv. Xscreensaver can be installed by typing sudo apt-get install xscreensaver. There are some really complicated suggestions on here, but making a video your screensaver is really easy when using xscreensaver and mpv.
