I sometimes get the ui showing up when the screensaver starts, I added this to the Mpv config in the Lively's plugin folder and it stops the video player menu from showing.
osc=no
However, I don't know if this is what you need as you are saying it stays stuck on the screen when you try to exit the screensaver.

[IanDaBest]

If I move the mouse, the screensaver doesn't exit but if I press other buttons (alt tab, etc.) then it exits.

1. Are you using the latest v2.1 screensaver .scr plugin?
2. Do you have some command line script that runs screensavers?
3. Does this happen while lively running in the background or when lively is not running.

1. How do you check that?
2. I am not using any command line scripts
3. Lively is always running in the background.

How do you check that?

New Lively.scr file is only 8KB, previous was around 25MB I think.

Screensaver is starting in preview mode but even if the osc shows briefly it should auto hide.

Like @manstheram mentioned the following mpv.conf file will disable ui:

osc=no

or you can try disabling the mpv mouse input with the following config:

input-cursor=no

I recommend appdata folder instead of install location:

Oh, I remember I did this a long time ago. Do I have to get the new one for the update?

[rocksdanister]

Yes, I get notifications when people comment so please dont comment multiple times like that.

Sorry about that, I installed the new screensaver file and added the config file. It seems to be working fine now but we'll see.
