Hello,
I'm "digging up" this post because I also have issue with this problem of a fireworks screen saver which is activated while watching a film via a media application (Kodi). 
Zipperhead: have you found a solution since your last message?

Not sure if this would apply to newer models, but worth a try. Have only one input going at the same time. Turn off any other inputs (apple tv, game console, cable set box, etc...) even when using webOS apps.

Hi, I was already on the latest OS, and unplugging the TV made no difference.  It's odd that it fixed the problem for you as I'm not sure what the connection would be between the Quick Start + facility and the screen saver.  Do you have to do the workaround every time you switch the TV on or is the issue fixed permanently?

I assumed the issue was by design but perhaps it is actually a bug if you've managed to overcome it. Very odd.

 

Yeah, that didn’t make sense to me either. I was trying different things to see what works... 

So... the screen saver came back for me the other, but I noticed something else. I had left my AppleTV while I was watching cable TV and the screen saver came on. It didn’t come back after turning off the AppleTV.

I’m obviously speculating here, but I think other input sources that you normally leave on for a while, such as a pc or gaming console, might trigger the screen saver if they’re sitting idle. We might be getting closer to solving the mystery

Sorry to hear that. Only thing that comes to mind is maybe updating the TV to the latest OS and trying again. Maybe even unplug the TV as well so it does a soft reset before trying. Hope that helps!

This workaround seems to work for me:

1. Set Quick Start+ to “Off”

2. Turn your TV off and on

3. Set Quick Start+ to “On” if you want. Fireworks shouldn’t come back

Good luck!
