execute screensaver with JSON method - babo - 2022-09-17
Hi all,
My first post here, I've been searching a lot but couldn't find an answer anywhere so here's my question:
Is it possible to execute the screensaver with JSON-RPC ?
Already found the remote.xml code ActivateScreensaver , so now I can program it to a remote-control button.
I also would like to execute the Kodi Screensaver in my Hassio setup, therefore JSON-RPC seems the way to go.
Turning on and turning off the screensaver function setting is mentioned but nowhere I can find how I can actually activate the (black screen for instance) screensaver instantly with a command.
(Little explanation on the side: I cannot turn off the screen because my audio out goes through my tv optical out. When I change radio stations or change volume my screensaver (black screen) stops and the TV stays on for another minute. I would like to auto -enable the screensaver directly after a volume change or channel change using JSON commands)
Many thanks in advance for pointing me in the right direction.

in addition to above question:
Is it possible to start the screensaver (activate black screen) another way besides the standard waiting (timer) or hdmi-cec command Activatescreensaver.
