Screensaver playback is constant

I'm using 21.3 Omega and Arctic Fuse 3.2.13. I have the Aerial screensaver configured to wait 5 minutes. On boot up it works as expected. But at some point it get's caught in a loop and it won't stop playing the screensaver. If I use the remote to hit the stop button on the screensaver video, it just immediately plays another Aerial screensaver video. I can't seem to get it to go back to waiting for 5 minutes of inactivity before running. What's become super annoying is at the end of a show, instead of auto starting the next episode, as it's pausing to start the next episode the screensaver kicks on and then it doesn't start the the episode. Has anyone experienced this? I really like the Aerial screensaver for background ambiance but this is just infuriating.

Extras File browser view options

Using CoreElec Kodi with AF3. I have started adding a bunch of extras and special features. The naming convention I use means the file name is somewhat long. When viewing extras the file view has little tiles and only a short stubby filename and I cannot differentiate the featurettes from each other. Is there some view options for the file browser that launches with the "Extras" feature?

Google (Nest) Doorbell distinct notifications for people

Is it possible to have unique notifications on Android for person detections versus sound or motion detections. I see the categories in the Google Home app to allow me to turn on notifications for motion, packages, people. But I don't see the notification categories in Android to say if you see a person make this noise if you see a package make this noise etc. How is this not a delineation that Android can make?

Blank screen on HDR10 and SDR content

Have been tinkering with my AMB6+ off and on for a couple months. I noticed an issue at one point where sometimes when I play a file the screen goes blank. I just today correlated that it only happens when the file is HDR10. All my DV files play fine. I have the same problem with SDR content. I'm using a Denon x3800H and a Hisense 65R6E1.

When I'm in the Kodi GUI everything appears fine and the TV says it's receiving a non HDR signal. When I click a DV film, the screen blanks for a second and then comes back and I get the DV logo in the upper left. But if I play HDR10 or SDR content, the screen blanks and never comes back. I also have a 4K blu-ray player connected to another input on the AVR and have never had any problems with HDR10, HDR10+ or SDR. I have not tried HDR10+ from the CoreElec as I haven't ripped any of those disks yet.

It's also worth noting I have tried played Profile 7, 5, and 8 DV files and they all work just fine.
