Win Block screensaver
#1
Hello!

Since Eden and Aeon Nox 2.0 when i'm playing music the screensaver is not blocked.
I have set XBMC to dim after 5 minutes and turn of the screen after 20.
This did not happen before.
When the screen turns of the music also stops playing.

This might be a duplicate of http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=125527 but he/she was not getting any response. I hope somebody can tell me if this is broken for just me or for everybody.

Thanks!

ps. i updated to the git version, 3.0 branch. the problem still exists.

This doesn't sound like a skin issue. Can you reproduce the problem with Confluence? If so it's a XBMC bug.

so only the monitor switches off? a better explanation would help.
perhaps your computer goes into standby Big Grin

First of; thanks for helping me!

ill try to explain better.

I set the screensaver to "dim" after 5 min.
I set the power saving to "display to sleep" after 20 minutes.

This all works as expected say in the case i forget my XBMC so it doesnt burn in the screen or cost to much energy.

But when i play music (and am in the music playing screen, tab, where you see the song information and fanart) it should prevent this.

Also when it puts the display to sleep the audio stops...

what about the option to switch to visualisation when activating screensaver? debug log could also help.

that option seems to have no effect...

I got this from the debug log:

(removed unrelated stuff before and after. i started xbmc, played an album, waited 1 minute, saw the screen dim, then pressed S and shutdown xbmc)

To get to my log file and the forum to post this. Also i wanted the logfile to be as short as posible so i did not have to look through thousands of lines of logging ;-)

But you really need to post a full debug log up to the point the screen gets switched off.

I've got the same problem, running the latest XBMC from Debian unstable repositories. Any updates on this?
