BUG: Screensaver starts on LG C1 when playing photo playlist

Player Version#: 5.28.2

It appears that Plex is not informing the TV that this app should not be interrupted.

This bug has been reported several other times, with no action taken. Please inform if you plan to fix, thanks.

LG OLED Screensaver On when showing Plex Photo Slideshow

Similar experience, LG OLED65C9 with the latest web OS, latest plex app on the LG, Last Plex Server running on Synology NAS. On the LG I start the plex app, start playing a music play list and then start a photo slideshow, shuffling my library of photos.

Screensaver on LG OLED

Hi, I have noticed that there is a small flaw in the way Plex’s screensaver works on LG’s OLEDs - it really doesn’t.

BUG: Plex client on LG OLED65B6P - TV Screensaver starts on Photos Slideshow

Hi, Not sure if this is a known bug but viewing photos slideshow using Plex client on LG OLED65B6P makes the TV start its screensaver after its default wait time. This doesn’t happen when watching videos from Plex client. I checked my TV options and couldn’t find anything to turn off the screensaver. Is there any Plex setting that I can configure to turn this off or is this is a known bug? Thanks!

Experiencing the same thing on LG G1. Plex Photo Slideshow does not stop the TV screensaver.

It appears Plex has completely stopped responding to bug reports. Many people have posted about this issue with no response. I wish I had known that before buying a lifetime pass. It’s worthless now. I think Plex is effectively a dead product going forward.
