GROUPIENathan. Thank you for your response. I looked for a screen saver on my mxq box but nothing was evident. However I went to Settings – Device- Display – Running Apps and disabled Android Live Wallpapers and Basic Daydreams.
In Settings-Device – Display I noted that Daydream was set to Clock and 1 hour. There did not appear to be an option to turn Daydream off and the device is defaulting to an MBOX logo and not a clock when it suddenly stops movie playback. So I guess the issue is not with Daydream.
In Kodi i selected Exodus – Settings – Play Back – When Playback Starts and noted that Resume Playback was already selected.
So I am guessing I may have missed something somewhere. i would be grateful for any further advice you can give
