Custom screensaver in some parts of app?

Is it possible to have a custom screensaver only in some parts of my app? Part of my app is an audio player and I only want the custom screensaver when it is playing music, otherwise I would want it to use the default screensaver.

I’m pretty sure that it is all or nothing. However, if your custom screensaver exits, I think the flashing Roku screensaver takes over, so you could perhaps have your in-channel screensaver check if it should be running, and exit if it should not.

Joel is correct. If you exit your custom screensaver, the default screensaver will kick in, so you could write a file to tmp:/ any time your custom screensaver should run, and delete it when it shouldn’t, then have your RunScreensaver() function check for that file before starting the screensaver.

Thanks, that’s a couple of good ideas.
