Screensaver and visualisation broken on OSMC/Kodi 18/Pi 2

[jamieburchell]

I found that the screensaver and visualisations no longer work in Kodi v18 on OSMC/Pi2.

Is this something that will be fixed/won't be fixed/might be fixed/can be fixed by me/can be fixed by using something else?

I was really happy to see this come to the Pi and might have thought twice about upgrading to Kodi 18 had I known.

Not sure what the issue is here, but for anyone else struggling with this, I was able to use a different repo where the Visualisation and Screensaver work:

This screensaver is now superceded by https://github.com/xbmc/screensaver.shadertoy
That now includes a number of features from this addon that allows it to run well on Pi.

Oh, OK. Thanks. This doesn't appear in the list of addons in OSMC for some reason.

Best ask at OSMC. It's in the standard LibreELEC repo (at lest with Matrix build).
