Can you turn the screen saver off in music library? Or is it all or none?

Should elaborate - the reason I ask is it overruns the player visualisations.

You can turn the screen saver off, but wont apply to just music.

Just as the screen saver dosen't come on when watching live TV or reorded TV.
I don't want it on when playing music either. It overlaps over the visulisations inset, as this screenshot shows (The visulisation I have is asctuallly a picture slideshow)

I don't want to press a button. Just change a entry in config.xml

The "MusicLibrary2" plugin has it's own screen saver that can be used instead of the standard GBPVR screen saver (if that's what you are using). It can display visualisations while music is playing. I've never used this feature of it as I'm using video output from a PVR350 so I instead display album art, track title, artist, elapsed time, etc information in the screen saver.
While no music is playing, it display's the time and a small GBPVR logo by default but it is configurable via XML.
I generally use the ML2 plugin instead of the built-in Music Library - it allows random play, sorting and display of MP3 tags and displays album art. I know that Sub has mentioned before that he doesn't really use the music side of things much and did not place a high emphasis developing it.
The other plugin that I use is "MusicPlayer", which has a much nicer interface than the built in Music Library but it has not been updated for a while and may not work all that well on 1.0.0.8 (I haven't upgraded yet as there are no new features that I would use). This plugin also has a screen saver but I don't use that too often.
Alternatively there is a "Screen Saver" plugin somewhere - I can't find it at the moment (PM me if you can't either). This has plenty of different options and I think that one of them is to show currently playing song information.
I know that this isn't what you were asking for but I'd download the plugins from the wiki and give them a trial. You might find something that suits your needs.
Good luck!
Matt.
