Dim screensaver shows video on Cubox/imx6

I have the same problem as discussed in this thread

but since it was a bit old, I'm starting a new one.

Just like in the above mentioned thread, I have the CuBox-i4Pro and experience the problem with the Dim screensaver showing the last frame of the last played video when activating.

I can't remember when this issue was introduced, but I would say in beginning of Kodi 17 in LibreELEC.

I had some hope that is was a bug in Kodi that would eventually be ironed out but it still persists even with a clean installation of LE, latest version as of now; LibreELEC (Krypton) v8.1.1 BETA

The thing is, that after all this time I still don't know for a fact, if it is a problem in Kodi or LE. Everything else works as intended, it is just a aesthetic thing that is highly annoying.

I can't reproduce the issue on any other platform running LE, for example my WeTek play.

What can I do to help close in on the issue?

Thanks in advance.

I think it is kodi. And no, there is no solution yet.

One workaround is to use different screensaver. Like digital clock.

The last couple of iterations of LibreElec have not worked on my Cubox i4Pro. Flash/pulse dark screen. Never boots up.

Known problem. You can try image with 3.14 kernel.
