I am currently using Atlantis Beta 2 along with Launcher 0.4 on an ATV with OS 2.2. I knew there was an update in how the ATV screensaver was handled. I generally keep it set to activate after 2 minutes. I believe that XBMC would disable it while running and then renable after it was quit. However, I noticed yesterday that once XBMC quit, the screensaver was still disabled. Perhaps it has been that way but I thought for sure that before yesterday, once XBMC quit that the screensaver was reactivated or am I just imagining things?

Right, screensaver is disabled when launching xbmc and should be reset if xbmc quits. Still there could be a few cases when screensaver is not reset, e.g. if you unplug power while xbmc is running. I just checked code and found another case: if launch of xbmc/boxee was not successful, e.g. because it is not present, screensaver settings were not reset, too. This is fixed now. Thanks for that hint.
But you see Launcher never reset screensaver settings?

Well, it used to reset the screensaver settings up until yesterday. Your example of xbmc/boxee not launching successfully may be the clue - I downloaded the boxee version yesterday and tried launching it and got a message about the application not being found. So I tried again to install boxee, attempted to relaunch boxee but again got the message about the app not being found. So it looks like that is what was causing my issue with the screensaver.
Any suggestions on the failed install of boxee? When I install it, I get the progress bar, then the message about waiting and then the message saying to hit 'menu' to continue. I have two ATVs and on the other one, I was able to install and run boxee.
