Screen Saver when inactive

[dougw03 16]

Hello,

 

I accidentally left Emby paused and left the house for an hour and now I can see some burn-in now on my OLED screen. Can you please allow the Android TV screensaver to turn on when no activity is detected for 5 minutes?

Hi.  We do allow that but not when video is paused because allowing the screensaver on Android basically means our app is put to the background - which would be a problem for people who pause live TV (they would lose their place).  We may change this in the future but it will need to be a pretty long timeout (like an hour).

Thanks. Would you consider making your own custom emby screensaver instead? Something simple without a static image would suffice. The Netflix app does this.

Yes, that is a possibility for the future.

 

Thanks.

A SS that can play your pictures from library folders would be great.
