spi2par2019 SPI2Par2019 + HD44780 LCD: Xenium - screen blanks out when screensaver starts.

[gehx]

I installed a LCD screen (SPI2Par2019 + HD44780 LCD).   I have a Xenium.  When the screensaver starts the text on the LCD screen disappears and I have to go to settings/LCD/ Enable LCD/VFD and change the value back to anything (well, in my case LCD - HD44780) for the text to re display on the screen...the value of LCD/VFD doesn't matter as far as getting the text back; it's the process of changing it to anything that brings it back.  Is this a known issue? What's the fix?

I've edited the LCD.xml w/ the suggested edit on ryzee119 spi2par2019 github

If using XBMC, there appears to be a bug in the way the large text is printed to the LCD screen when used with a Xenium. This can cause the LCD screen to stop working when the screen saver starts. It is recommended to edit the /system/UserData/LCD.xml file and replace instances of LCD.TimeWide21 or LCD.TimeWide22 with something different. Perhaps LCD.cputemperature and LCD.gputemperature or if you want time, use the standard font (System.Time).

Yeah known issue.

Try this Xecuter one, just change the text you want instead of 'xecuter x3cp 1.4 ileox' etc etc add some short info like 'Xenium' instead etc. Don't make it long.

Edit it in any text editor and rename it to LCD.xml

See if that helps.
