I am also experiencing this issue, when the screensaver has been playing for an extended period of time, it can no longer be stopped and constantly plays in the background. Only way to get it to stop is to reboot the system. Its almost as if its not acting as a screensaver anymore, but a unstoppable video playlist.

To add more information, I'm experiencing it on Kodi 19.3 and atv4 3.0.3.

Thanks, did you try it on Matrix?

[graysky2]

For me, it only happens when I hit the "home" button on the iOS official kodi app. When I control kodi with my IR remote, I do not have this problem. Very easy to trigger this bug.

1. Wait for screen saver to activate
2. Hit the home button on the app

Running latest commit from Matrix branch.

@graysky2 thanks, would debug logs show us something when it happens?

[graysky2]

I do not know. Try it.

[bam80]

@graysky2 I don't have iOS.

[graysky2]

Android? See if you can trigger the bug as I described above.

[bam80]

@graysky2 on Android, Home button shows system launcher.
On return to the app, no issue.
Could you take debug logs, please?

[bam80]

Got the issue on Android. It's something with tinkering with Back key.
