The issue you guys are facing is that the python extension hasn’t been rebuilt for the latest firmwares. Since version 5.16.3 (or so), Amazon has made fundamental changes to the firmware; this broke a lot of hacks, as they need to be specifically rebuilt for “hardware float”.

This was done for some packages, but not all. Python is one of the packages which hasn’t been updated for HF. And since the screensaver extension has a dependency on python, it also doesn’t work.

So until a developer releases a HF compatible version of python, not much can be done. If you guys are technically inclined you can try to build it yourself; otherwise for older devices there’s also a possibility to downgrade to 5.16.2.1.1 (the last non-HF firmware) and thus avoid the whole HF issue.
