What triggers the LG TV Screensaver to come on?

[Zipperhead]

I’m would like to know specifically what triggers the LG smart TV screensaver to come on.  There are multiple apps that while viewing media the Screensaver interrupts viewing.   One would think the tv detects a static image for a set number of seconds.  And also that number of seconds would be let’s say 60 or 120 or even possible be user adjustable.  But no settings exist and the attached video shows that it interrupts video viewing.   I guess they will not let me upload the video.  I guess evidently too incriminating.

Explain that video isn’t working

It's unlikely to be user adjustable.  We have bee spoilt by the likes of Android/Google who's philosophy is to let users choose how they like things. It's not LG's way and is frustrating.

Rise it with LG. They probably wont give you a solution but might tweak it in future software updates.

Everyone talks about this issue like it’s not a bug.  The conversation always goes back to “ It ‘s designed that way to protect the tv “.  No, it’s a flaw and it’s designed so it comes on and interrupts the viewing of the media you want to view on YOUR TV.

I understand what you are saying - the screensaver should not come on. Tell LG about the fault and push them fix it for you.

Wow, LG OLED 65C1 here 2 weeks old. Watching YouTube app this evening and app closed after approximately 2 minutes and switched to Screensaver. Opened YouTube app again and after about a minute into a video it did it again. Hope this is addressed by LG soon.
