I've seen an older thread on this topic but it doesn't look like anyone found a solution to disabling the screen saver, so I'll try a new one.
On virtually all my LG TV's (I have three OLED's and two LCD), the screen saver interferes with my music app (like Plex, Spotify or Amazon Music). I mainly use Plex for playback of my music which is stored on a central server (NAS) and from the app loaded on a Fire TV stick or cube. After about 20-30 minutes, the album art and other related music information (lyrics, song title, duration, etc) all goes black. If I run Plex (or Spotify) directly on the LG TV via the LG Content store app, the screen saver with fireworks always comes on in about 2 minutes.
I've tried all the different methods to disable the screen saver function including turning off the Timers, Auto Power Off, HDD Storage, etc. I also tried opening the hidden menus by pressing the mute button 5 times but that menu didn't have anything relevant.
Interesting is that the screen saver doesn't come on when using Spotify on a Fire TV stick or if I playback music through a USB device. But i don't use those methods often, mainly Plex to access my music server where I have about 500 CD's stored in ALAC format.
Has anyone found a way to disable the screen saver function? I know the logic for having it (to prevent OLED burn in) but I'm not leaving the same image on for more than the song duration (about 3-5 minutes). It's annoying to check the screen for the a music title or see who is on only to find a black screen looking back. Thanks for any help.

We want to use them to show a picture constantly, but screen saver keeps on turning on.
Firmware is upgraded to the latest one, and turned eco mode off. No luck. ( SOFTWARE FILE(VERSION 04.11.08)
I thought of copying the same files to multiple copies so the tv can go through it as slide shows but it will still sop in the end and not repeat.
If I copy the files to the TV hard drive, will it help?
I tried researching into this issue, but no luck.
Called and contacted LG, tech support told me that I purchased the wrong TV? I am not even sure what that means, I guess I should have looked into another brand.
10 of these guys are installed now so I want to save the hassle and not return them.
Thanks for any suggestion and input!
