Using Theater View as "screen saver"
« on: June 27, 2011, 04:24:48 pm »

I would really like to be able to lock the computer running Media Server, but still have it display Theater View. The computer is used for playing music via Gizmo, and I want to prevent it from being tampered with - but I still want Theater View to show on the screen. Is there a way to do this?

bump  :)

Does anybody know if this is possible? If not with MC16 alone, then perhaps through Windows 7 in some way?

What do you mean by "lock the computer"?

No mouse and no keyboard should do it.  Tampering is tough without.

Unplug the keyboard and mouse  :)

Very clever!  8)

It's not very practical in my case, however. What I would like, is to be able to lock the computer similar to cltr + alt + delete and lock computer, but with theater view showing instead of the Windows login. Any input from mouse or keyboard could then trigger the login window.
