Yes, use my Video Screensaver available in the official Kodi repository.
https://kodi.tv/addon/screensaver/video-screensaver
Navigate the browse option, go to youtube plugin and find your link, or you can use a strm that points to the youtube video.... ie
Code:
plugin://plugin.video.youtube/play/?video_id=1232020-01-26, 15:17
@Lunatixz , many thanks your screensaver.
I've added my private Youtube playlist as screensaver - works well (it hangs sometimes and the quality is not good, but looks like this is Youtube problem).
The only bug I noticed - when I've chosen local video once, I haven't found a way to return to initial Library Video screen to choose Add-ons. So I had to edit addon settings.xml file manually.

Thanks, I was looking for something like this, but haven't found.
I've just got another question - I have about 800 videos in my playlist, 500 videos are chosen in your addon. But it shows the same videos again and again - looks like random is not the best. Is there any way to fix it?

I looked at the source code. Looks like you rely on standard Files.GetDirectory and sort method random to get a randomized list.
I think there could be 2 types of problems with youtube playlist:
1) when I say that I would like to receive 500 videos, YouTube plugin returns just 10 (or whatever number of videos are shown on the first page of Kodi screen)
2) random method doesn't work properly with YouTube plugin...
