While watching netflix, screensaver engages, movie still playing audio OK

While I'm watching a movie on Netflix, the Apple TV screen saver slideshow starts - while the movie is still running, I can hear it. If I "wake" it up with the remote - the movie is in the right place. This happens after a few minutes.

Any idea why this bug is happening? Its annoying. Have not started the normal troubleshooting procedures yet - but curious if this is common, too. Connected with an HDMI cable to my Vizio TV.

All I did was the reboot (slept it, then unplugged the power/HDMI, waited 5 secs and plugged back in). It has not happened since.

Let us know what you do and what happens?

No, not common. First i've heard of something like this. Try the usual first (reboot, reset, restore)

Word. I did the reboot (slept it, then unplugged the power/HDMI, waited 5 secs and plugged back in)

Here is hoping it does not continue.

This is happening to me to. Any luck? I have to have my screensaver disabled, and I'd prefer not to.
