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.

Dare say this issue is more to do with cheap LG products rather than the WebOS but worth a try anyway. Bought my TV in 2017
Apart from usual 'out of memory errors' watching YouTube that have never been resolved by LG and difficulty finding a suitable USB Hard Disk for local recordings (Toshiba works well) the set has been quite good particularly streaming Amazon and Now TV channels as well as my PLEX Server Media.
Sadly howeve this almost two years old set has now begun to show screen display problems with a dimming overall and blotchy patches most visible on light grey images but permanent.
This is a major disappointment with a product costing around £500 just a couple of years ago so people, be warned.
