Feature Request: Live stream from the ISS

[jbkkd]

As I was sitting and watching an Earth video on my screensaver, passing through California, a thought struck my mind. What if, instead of pre-recorded videos, we would have a live stream from the International Space Station?

This. obviously, isn't fully aligned with what this screensaver is about. Aerial exists for the purpose of showing videos taken by Apple, Joshua and Hal. To mesmerise us as we stare at our screens, searching for inspiration.

And that's exactly why a live stream from Space, with all its beauty and mystery, would fit right in.

There are two streams to consider:

• https://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/nasatv/iss_ustream.html - this one includes occasional video from inside, and audio transmissions from, the Space Station
• https://video.ibm.com/channel/iss-hdev-payload - A live view of a camera pointing straight to earth

Including this as an optional feature would be the best way to go, so that people's expectations of the default video pool won't change.

Those streams are down at the moment "IS OFF-AIR" so if this would be implemented, some way to fallback to other videos in such cases would be nice.
