xbmc alpha frodo problem with screensaver - aoaaron - 2012-05-29

okay this is really annoying now. im on the new monthly and basically if i leave xbmc alone and come back a few hours later, it will not 'undim' from the screensaver set.

is there a fix for this? its occuring with all skins,

debug log (wiki)?

humm, interesting. I'm seeing this on an embedded box and am trying to chase it down.

try this as a possible hack fix, go into settings, turn off the screensaver, exit settings. then back in and turn it back to dim.

we really would like to see your xbmc.log with debug enable.

This has happened to me a handful of times in the last month, but it's so intermittent and I haven't been able to reproduce it yet to catch it on a debug log. It seems that once it happens, you're stuck with it until you restart. No amount of commands appear to deactivate the screensaver, whether you're using keyboard/mouse/phone/web. Curiously, switching to another skin and then back will release the Dim, but only one time. Wait a few minutes and you're on permadim again (unless you restart XBMC).

yep, I tried a number of things in code and nothing has turned up. It's a tricky bug somewhere.
