Roku keeps moving things around. There used to be a "Screensavers" setting, but it may now be under Settings->Wallpapers & Screensavers. Look for "Screensaver Start Time" under that and set it to "Disable screensaver".
Screensavers shouldn't be kicking in if a video is playing, so there may be something else going on.
Another possible factor:
The Roku "Bandwidth saver" function kicks in when the Roku has received no user input in four hours. It asks if you are still watching, and if it receives no response, it exits the current stream and returns the Roku to its home page. At that point, if you have the Roku screensaver enabled it will kick in after the designated delay.
You can turn this feature on and off via Settings > Network > Bandwidth saver
Note that some individual channels may have a similar feature.
figured it out. It is in the settings under "themes". Can then "disable" the screensaver. This worked great. Thanks
