Any photos added to the folder after the slideshow has begun will not be included in the slideshow. For example, I have confirmed that the OS X slide show screensaver does not automatically refresh - that is to say, when the screensaver kicks in, the slide show that it creates contains only photos that were in the specified location at the time that the screensaver launched. While it’s true that both OS X and Windows have a screensaver that can display a randomized selection of photos from a specified location, there are limitations. How you go about this will depend on which OS you’re running on your computer. Now that you’ve got photos flowing to your HTMac/HTPC, you need to display them. The Eye-Fi card can’t communicate with your computer unless they are both connected to the network. It should go without saying that you also need a wireless network set up in your home for this to work. By using Selective Transfer, you ensure that only the best photos end up in your slideshow, rather than including all of those photos of people with their eyes half-closed, which you’d normally just delete and re-shoot. Selecting a photo for transfer is as easy as pressing the “protect” button while viewing the photo on your camera. With Selective Transfer active, the Eye-Fi card will only transfer selected photos to your computer, instead of every photo you take. This step isn’t strictly necessary, but I recommend it. Next, you’ll probably want to configure your Eye-Fi card to use Selective Transfer. It doesn’t matter where this folder is located, but I’d recommend starting with a fresh, empty folder, and placing it somewhere that’s easy to remember and navigate to.

First, you want to use the Eye-Fi manager software to configure your Eye-Fi card to transfer photos to a specific folder on your computer. With your HTMac/HTPC set up, now you have to establish a conduit for your photos to get from your camera to the computer. Regardless of the OS and hardware you choose, you will need a computer of some kind hooked up to your home theater and providing video to your television (unless, of course, you use one of those gorgeous 27-inch iMacs as your TV, in which case you have one less thing to set up).

If you don’t have a spare Mac Mini laying around, you can probably pick one up fairly cheap from the refurbished section of Apple’s online store, or you can try your luck with one of the many Windows-based HTPCs out there (yes, I realize that there are Linux-based HTPC solutions, but Eye-Fi did not work with Linux when I last checked, and that’s a crucial element here, as you’ll see in just a moment).

But I digress… the point is that a Mac Mini - even an older one - is ideal for this project. With Plex installed, the Mac Mini becomes a rather formidable living room media solution. While the 2008 Mac Minis didn’t have HDMI-out, I was able to run video out via a DVI to HDMI adapter, and audio out via the Mac’s mini-TOSLINK jack.
