I can't get the "Set Screensaver Volume" setting to work. I need the screensaver the play a live youtube stream but with the volume almost zero. It used to work for me but not anymore. What can I do?

Kodi 20, Windows 10x64. Videoscreensaver does not start playback of video, only time and weather are displayed.

It looks like you're using a directory that is not a standard part of Kodi's library.
Is this path added to Kodi's sources via video files? if not, Kodi requires "Permission" to access non-standard directories via json queries. You'll have to add the path in-order to use it. THXxml:"G:\My Drive\gVideos\Screensaver 2\"

Pardon the intrusion, but in my (limited) experience I have not figured out how to send a valid windows path to
Kodi json-rpc. I've tried various escapes, python raw strings etc to no avail. My guess is the "json failed to parse" is due to not escaping the \. But I've gotten past that using python raw string (r'C:\something\') but then when passed to Kodi C++ code it doesn't work for me.

try escaping the \ with another \
c:\\something\\

THX, its possible... I personally haven't encountered any issues using windows paths.

Thanks for keeping this addon going. I was curious if it’s possible to have two sources for the video addon. It would be nice for movies AND tv shows to be randomly played.
