So a custom screensaver will need to be required since the secondary screensaver thread eats the msg input button press of the remote too. Thanks again. If you play a video file with a silence audio track included behind the current displayed screen it prevents the screensaver from activating to begin with - it takes more bandwidth to constantly stream something that isn't seen but it seems like another solution to consider.
