      I'm gonna hijack my own thread to report a new problem.

      Because I had to reinstall from scratch my PiStation project, I've noticed a problem with the Video Screensaver now only playing the same video over and over. If I press SELECT to initiate the screensaver, it will choose a random video to start, but then when the video is over it repeats rather than picking another one. If I press SELECT again, it will THEN go on to a different video. Also, I set my screensaver to start after 1 minute, but it never starts.

      I installed and updated from source the core components, which includes ES. I also did an underlying kernel update, so maybe something there is wonky?

      ES v 2.5.1RP

        @hansolo77 there's a bug with the power savings changes that were recently introduced that's being addressed right now.

        If you go to the start menu there'll be a place (maybe under other options?) where you have power savings. Just disable them.

          Yeah I noticed those. I just left them at the default settings. I will try to disable them.
