I used to use RPi2 together with PC monitor. I had found Pimon screensaver that switched monitor off (standby) when there wasn’t anything important to see (like during playing music).
Now I have replaced monitor with TV and have hoped that I will start to use HDMI CEC feature for this purpose. And I do… but the TV is putted to standby only when no video or music is playing. When music is playing (or even is paused) TV just became black (as set in Screensaver options) but is not putted to standby.
From the debug log it seems that in both cases event “OnScreensaverDeactivate” is fired but in case of playing or pausing music it isn’t followed by CEC activity:

Is this behavior bug or a feature? Or do I something wrong? Did I overlook some option in Kodi configuration that affects this?
(I have Kodi 17.1 (Git:fc1619b) using libCEC v4.0.1)
Thank you.
