Set windows screen saver as ISS Live Stream

[TheFramski]

Hey guys,

 

Not entirety sure if this is possible but i don't see why it shouldn't be. i really think it would be cool if i could set my screensaver on my computer to the live stream that is coming from the International Space Station. There is a live stream link that NASA puts on and ill include the link at the end.

I have searched the internet but they all seem to talk about using static pictures or videos that are already on my computer.

 

I would just leave the stream going but I'm too lazy and just want it to go full screen when the screensaver would come on, without a Firefox tab having to be open, and when i move my mouse again it to go back to normal.

 

Any help would be great, and ill also post this on the Teksyndicate Forums, which ill include a link to just in case they come up with something that you guys don't and if i get this solved and its on that forum.

 

ill edit this post to point it out to that so anyone else who wants this can have it. Because well Linus said anything to do with space is cool!

Try using this screensaver: http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/djmclean/htmlscreensaver.html, and then putting the videos pop-out link as the URL (http://www.ustream.tv/channel/live-iss-stream/pop-out). Works perfectly for me.

 

Edit: Just an FYI, this does use massive amounts of data if left on for a long time. Left it running overnight, and used over 300gb. Luckily my IPS does not limit usage...
