Hello developers,
it seems that Kodi has a problem with detecting busy state because if I listening radio via DVBViewer Client then this ends up in Windows sleep mode. Of course it could be also a problem within the DVBViewer Client add-on. Hint: At watching TV all is fine. Two questions:

1. Which part of the system (Kodi or the DVBViewer Client) is missing the busy state and therefore does not suspended the Windows power management?
   
2. Independent of 1): Can the DVBViewer Client team implement a 'suspended the Windows power management' solution, please?
   

It is (in C++) simple, please see here (link). This (my initial question) was moved from category Windows to Music, I do not expect to get a solution there ...
I know that 2. is only a workaround if Kodi is the problem cause but for me as user it is don't care who helps.

My concrete using scenario is as follows.
I configured the Picture Slideshow Screensaver to start after 1 minute.
At (GER):

• Benutzeroberfläche -> Einstellungen / Benutzeroberfläche -> Bildschirmschoner
  

I disabled (GER):

• Bei Musikwiedergabe Visualisierung verwenden
  

This starts the screensaver instead of 'some visualization' at playing 'music'.
At the Kodi main screen I select 'Radio'.
Now I select some radio station and enjoy music with my photos on top.

System: Kodi 19.4 / 64 Bit Win10 21H2

Greeting!

Michael

1) Kodi should inhibit the system from entering a sleep state as long as its busy.

2) I won't add this as it's Kodis job. Also there a multiple platforms. Windows is just one of them.

Fine but you have not answered my 1st question. I will ask in other words again:
Is the DVBViewer Client telling to Kodi that it is "working / busy" while playing radio? How is this made?
To come closer to the source of the problem:
Why is playing TV working as expected but playing radio not? I.e. what is the difference between both?

It's the other way round. Kodi is requesting the stream data of channel/radio xyz from the PVR. So Kodi knows when and which channel (either radio or TV) is being played.

To come closer to the source of the problem:
Why is playing TV working as expected but playing radio not? I.e. what is the difference between both?

On the PVR side there's no difference except that radio channel have a radio flag, TV channels have a TV flag.
