A little late to this party, so I rather doubt the OP is still looking for answers, but here's a couple good resources I've found for getting started:

For what it's worth, I am hosting the photos for my screensaver on my own domain. I created a mySql database for the images so I can add categories and captions, and wrote a little xml api using php in order to serve the images to my screensaver.
Hope this helps folks! Good luck and happy coding!!
