My apologies in advance, as I don't have a log file handy, but can anyone speculate why I might see full screen static appearing randomly while PseudoTV Live is enabled but not in-use? It pops up over my UI pretty much anywhere unless music or video content is playing. I can't seem to find any rhyme or reason to why it's occurring, and I haven't seen anything obviously related in my log files when this is happening. Of course if more information is needed, I can gather logs when I get off work, but I figured I'd ask now before I forget again. It's worth mentioning that I had seen this static before when I was starting video playback until I turned off (I believe) overlays in the addon settings. It doesn't appear to be the result of any specific skin or another addon, unless there's a conflict with PseudoTV Live, and I've also confirmed that it's not the television itself by testing with different monitors from the same HTPC. It's just strange enough that I thought to inquire. Thanks in advance for any information. Sorry again for the lack of logs. I'll update this when I have a chance.

There is a static gif overlay that will appear during content changes... usually something you don't see often. At least on my setup...

You can disable it as you have already done by disabling overlay in PseudoTVs settings.

Without a log i can not help beyond this...

Please note you should NOT see static if overlay is disabled and when your are not playing a PseudoTV channel.

That static overlay GIF is exactly what I'm seeing, and now that I turned on debug logging (which somehow got disabled without my noticing.)

My log file was way too large for for paste.kodi.tv, so I placed it on my server instead: http://www.hikaricore.net/temp/kodi_log2.txt

I hope this doesn't break the no log rule, but I wanted to point out the segment that I'm seeing over and over again in my logs. The majority of this output appears 16 times in the log during the minute or so that I had Kodi running:
