Hi everyone! Hope you're all having a nice life! I'm using MX-17.1 and have set up the monitor to turn off after 10 minutes of inactivity in the power settings. I can watch videos in vlc and the monitor doesn't turn off but with kodi it does. I'd like to know if there's an option/add-on that helps me in preventing the monitor from turning off while watching videos. Thank you in advance for all of your answers.
No idea what MX-17.1 is ... and no chance to find it out:
Debug Log please
I have a Windows machine for which I am looking for the opposite. It is a tablet and I want the machine to switch off the screen while playing radio on Kodi.
In both Windows and Kodi there is an option to dim the screen after a while. I have enabled both but the screen doesn't switch off. In your case, Moltke, perhaps you should disable that option

Isn't this the Linux subforum? MX Linux-17.1 is a Debian and Antix based Linux distro, so you may think of it as I'm on Debian 9 Stretch.

Thanks for the Suggestion. However, I'd already tried that with no effect.
Well, I figured it out. Actually, it was rather silly from me not noticing at first. I was using Kodi in windowed mode and not in fullscreen mode, I changed to fullscreen mode and now I can watch my videos and the monitor doesn't turn off anymore
