Really nice work! Nice to have these playing away in the background while I work

As someone previously mentioned, the screensaver always starts with the same movie (LAX airport on my build).

Could you please add a randomise function that would create a new/random playlist everytime the saver runs?
Maybe this could obey the location list too so the saver only shows random movies from the active locations.

Thanks for your hard work..it's a new fave addon!

I do have a Problem with this ScreenSaver. I do like it a lot but:
It want always to start after 5 minutes even while I watch tv or movies.
It can´t start while I listen to music but I want it to.
It changes the resolution so my tv switches to the channel and I don't want that to happened.

What can we do?

1) switch to OTHER screensaver
2) uninstall ATV4

Simple and logical? It can't uninstall if it's being used....

If you want screensaver during music, turn off the visualization.

Can't have it while watching the movies.

Problems since updating to 1.4.0:

- The addon is now under video addons for some reason

- When listening to music with fanart visualisation, it now overrrides that - which it hadn't done before

I searched through this thread but didn't see anything relative...

Has anyone observed a great amount of data usage with this screensaver? I'm running the official Kodi 17 final release on my Amazon Fire TV. I know there has been an issue with data usage on the Fire TV with Amazon's screen saver but I have that disabled. I had been running just the DIM screen saver and had not noticed any issues. But when I switched to Aerial I saw about 20GB of data usage in one day. I switched back to DIM and barely had any data usage. The following day I switched again to Aerial and burned another 20GB in about a day. Sure seems like there could be an issue.

Thanks!

[User 325245]

Ofcourse it has data usage when it streams HD video from the net....

[muzicman61]

Seriously? It is actually streaming video from the net as if I were watching a movie off Netflix?? That seems like a poor design. I would have figured it would download each video once and cache them. If that's the case, then I need to pick another screensaver.

[User 325245]

Well there is the option to download all videos once....

[muzicman61]

Thanks. I'll look for that option. I'm guessing somewhere in the Config... it is a really spectacular screensaver on my 80".

I'm using the git version 1.4 for the DPMS settings. I have it set to turn off the display after a specified period of time. When I wake the PC back up (or just press a button to turn the monitor back on) Kodi crashes, locks up and I need to force quit. It looks like the specific error message immediately before crash: WARNING: CSkinInfo: failed to load skin settings. Not sure if this is an issue with the screen saver or an issue with the skin.

This is exactly my problem! I'm using Kodi 17 on Sony Bravia kd-55xd8005. Everything was working fine with Kodi 16.1 until update to Kodi 17. Then this amazing screensaver start freezing after wake up TV

Just for more troubleshooting information: I tried to use Kodi & Manual settings, and pause video & stop video. All resulted in the same issue. I also tried it using Eminence 2.0 & Estuary so I don't believe it is a skin issue. I am running windows 10 exe version 17

If you make any fixes or add temporary debugging code to the addon, let me know and I can test.

Hi,

thanks for great addon.. I would like to store files offline so I chose download folder (/storage/download) but when I press download button, dialog pops up saying I need to choose download folder.. :S I tried with different folder too (/.../.../SLICE-HD/) but without success.. Is this known bug or I did something wrong?!

thanks in advance

Cheers
