iMacPro 2017, recently updated to MacOS 15.8 and now Screen Saver suddenly pops up even though my screen is ACTIVE, with PBS news running on full screen. I've had to shut off Screen Saver completely.
Are there ways to fix it?

In addition to what Matti said - I think that you may be misled as to what it means to be "active"; it requires user intervention. Just having a video playback on the screen does NOT count as "active". So if you start a video and do not touch the keyboard, trackpad or mouse for the time set for the screensaver, it will run.
Or... perhaps you have a Hot Corner set that activates the screen saver?
I set a Hot Corner to disable Screen Saver if I don't do any mouse movements while watching a lengthy video.
