Hi dag,

Your screensaver is exactly what I've been looking for. If I understood it correctly it could be used to cut off the video signal coming from a Raspi and so would not prevent devices such as AV receivers from turning off. The AV receiver would simply assume the Raspi no longer present as a source.

Unfortunately the screensaver doen't work in this way on my Raspi 2 and Kodi 18.9. If I select as method "No Signal from Raspberry Pi (using vgencmd)" Kodi displays the following error message: "Exception running 'vgencmd': [Error 2] No such file or directory". However I checked and vgencmd is present at its usual location (/opt/vc/bin) and /opt/vc/bin is included in the PATH variable.

Is this a knows issue? Do you have any hint how to fix it?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Kind regards,
Harald

Does it work manually from ssh?

Code:

vcgencmd display_power 0

Code:

vcgencmd display_power 1

Hi Mario,

Thanks for responding so quickly.

Yes, if I type the commands on the console via SSH they work (even without "sudo", etc.). On the console

Code:

display_power=0

and

Code:

display_power=1

is displayed then.

Perhaps it makes a difference that I am using OSMC?
Would it help to add the full path to vcgencmd in screensaver.py?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Harald
