The fact that Aerial screensaver does not exhibit the same behavior leads me to think that something must be different in the way the video player is called by the two screensavers. What do you think?

I've never witnessed this behavior... It's hard to work around since I've never encountered it.
Can you enable debugging on both Kodi and the screensaver; send me the log after the resolution prompt displays, please select a resolution and try to initiate playback. Also a screenshot of the prompt could help, thx!

I reviewed Aerial code and playback/windows are handled similarly ..

This is requested log:

https://paste.kodi.tv/lanuviluca.kodi

Looking at it I have managed to devise a solution this time. The problem apparently stems from videos being 30fps and Kodi switching to 2160p30 (while the interface runs at 2160p60). If I whitelist only 60, 59, 50, 24 and 23Hz video modes, the message does not come out anymore.

I can later provide a picture of the error, in case you still have use for it.

I still think something is amiss here, because Aerial screensaver gets videos from Apple, and those are at 30fps too. Aerial screensaver simply does not try to switch refresh rate, even if 30Hz video mode is whitelisted and allow double refresh rate is disabled under Settings/System/Display.

Thanks for the log; the only difference between the screensavers is Aerial is running in a windowed mode, where mine is fullscreen. This can probably be the source of your issue; however, it doesn't solve the underlying problem of what's going on.

::UPDATE::
Do you have "adjust refresh rate on video startup" enabled?

I'll make the change to run in windowed mode, I suspect you have a unique combination of video settings that is forcing the player to change resolution from the GUI causing the prompt to display. This isn't a common issue...

I have a (hopefully) small request for this addon. Would it be possible to add an option to start videos from a random point inside the chosen video? Reason I ask is that I have some long ones and they always end up showing only the first portion of them.

This option was present in the old Video Screensaver addon, which prompted me to ask once I noticed this new one doesn't have it.

Thanks!

Any opinion on this request? The randomize option seems to simply pick a random video from a folder, what I was suggesting was to have random video with a random point. I have long videos I use and if they always start from the beginning... I'll never get to enjoy the last portions of them as screensaver.
