How do I change the screensaver on the IceBox?

Due to a bug in Kodi where the screen can stay dimmed until you reboot we are recommending that you change the screensaver from the default of Dim to something better.

To do this:

  1. Open Settings.
  2. Select "Interface".
  3. Go down to "Screensaver" on the left hand side.

  4. Select "Screensaver mode" and press the OK button on the remote control.
  5. Press the right button on the remote control to go across to "Get more..."

  6. Scroll down until you see "Bing: Photos of the Week" (this is our recommended choice and press the OK button on the remote control.
  7. Your settings screen should look this now:

  8. You have the option to change the " - Settings" where you can change how often to change the image, and also whether to randomize or animate the image slightly. Ensure you select the OK button on the right of the page if you change anything, then press the OK button on the remote control.

  9. You can then change the "Wait time" to something reasonable, depending on your TV type, if you have an OLED TV we recommend it being short, for LED it can be longer. There is also an option to "Use dim is paused during video playback", you can either have this disabled or enabled, if you run into any troubles we would recommend changing this setting.
