i have a python script i am writing that brings up the visualisation window xbmc.executebuiltin('xbmc.activatewindow(2006)'). this doesnt allow the screensaver to activate. which wouldn't be a problem for people who have the visualisation as their window when audio is playing.
i wrote a timer function that would allow me to still use a screensaver (blank in my case, although i have tried others) if it was still wanted. the problem is after activating it xbmc.executebuiltin('xbmc.activatewindow(2900)') (which works fine)... then after i activate the screensaver the screensaver fades after the xbmc specified settings in the screensaver area... and you can't get the fade to go away unless you reboot. is this a bug or is this intentional? and is their anyway around it.
thanks for any help you can give.. this is bugging me to death.
