NowPlaying settings updated very often (e.g. every minute) despite no changes

self:storeSettings()

This storeSettings unfortunately gets triggered a lot, even when there are no changes to settings (noticed on modified time on userpath/settings/NowPlaying.lua and confirmed via logging) Perhaps the following would be better

                if settings.selectedStyle ~= self.selectedStyle then
                       settings.selectedStyle = self.selectedStyle
                       self:storeSettings()
                end

The exact cause of the multiple regular calls to GetNPStyles() seems to be due to the call to self::showNowPlaying() in function openScreensaver() (or at least that's what I observed via logging the callstack around line 227). So maybe my suggestion only addresses the symptom, and the real fix would be elsewhere
