Lore4, I assume the old stick wasn't using the aquarium screensaver since I think it's only available on 4k devices. It probably uses way too many resources to run while in the middle of streaming a video. "Logo rain" is the default "low resources" screensaver. If you know you're going to pause a video for an extended period, it's probably best to just press the Back button (the one to the left of Home) to stop the video since most, if not all, apps offer a way to resume a video.
Thanks. Makes sense. I usually back out of the program/video when not watching it. If I have to unexpectedly step away, I'll pause it. If I'm gone longer than 30 minutes (the max time in the app) whatever screensaver app I'm playing stops and the screen either goes Black or to raining Roku. My older stick didn't do this, screensaver all day long if I wanted. There used to be a "Never" option (as in never disable the screensaver) now it's capped at 30 minutes on the 4K. I also turned the power saver off under "Settings", so the Roku would not go to sleep, which was one of the suggestions given elsewhere, but still does not help.
I always say, "If it ain't broke don't fix it", or whatever was done to this updated 4K stick. Glad I have it though, because Roku is the best I have yet to try so far. I guess I just have to get used to it. Hopefully the next one will be improved.
