I use a foxconn m7pmx-s with onboard HDMI audio. I'm running xbmc 11.0 on Gentoo.
The problem I'm having is that when I listen to music the display is falling asleep and shutting down the HDMI interface. This makes the music stop as well. I generally like to listen to the music for extended periods of time and am perfectly happy with manually turning off the TV if that's what needs to happen. I just need to know if there's a way to prevent the display from sleeping when a music-only stream is being used (mostly mp3s on board or a radio add-on). I would just disable sleep, but I still do need the system to be able to fall asleep when not playing an audio stream.
The simple form of this request is: Is there a way to make sleep behavior on music items act the same as with video items (if active stream, don't sleep...if idle, start the sleep timer)
Thanks
