Hello


I was testing the last SVN version off MP : MediaPortal-svn--03-08-2007--20-01-Rev13302 and I find a little probleme, when I watch a movie with the Video module or MyFilms plugin, my LCD screen turn off after 2min, because the Windows power management is set to turn off the monitor after 2min of inactivity.

Other people from MP-fr have the same probleme.

If you need log file, I can send them.

I have joined the log file.

I have test again:

You have to setup your Windows Power management to turn off monitor after 2min and screensaver after 1min

I launch MP go to video and start one DIVX movie. (in window mode)


The movie start after 1 min nothing, (the screensaver has been disable by Mp)
but after 2 min the monitor is turned off the movie continu (I can hear the music) but no video. if I move the mouse the monitor turn back on.


I haven't seen the bug in full screen on my second computer



The bug was find on my first computer, I will try later on the first one

    Ahh, i now i understand, your MP is in windowed Mode, not only the movie itself.

    I tested the following now:

    Windows settings:
    • show screensaver: 1 min
    • turn monitor off: 2 min
    MediaPortal settings:
    • Blank screen in fullscreen when idle: not checked
    • when blanking screen, turn monitor off: not checked


    1. MediaPortal windowed
      • play video in fullscreen
        monitor is turned off after 2 mins
      • play video in GUImode
        screensaver is shown after 1 min
        monitor is turned off after 2 mins
    2. MediaPortal fullscreen
      • play video in fullscreen
        nothing happens, video is played fine
      • play video in GUImode
        nothing happens, video is played fine

    I think you, described case 1a, i tested first 2b. :D If that is the case, i can confirm like you see :p, but i don't wanna say now that this is a bug, because MP would/should most time used in fullscreen mode, i am not sure what the devs or other testers think about this.

    It would be good if another tester of our team could confirm my tests, so that i am not providing false information.

    best regards

    I tested the following On my first computer with SVN: 02-23-2007--16-33-Rev13072:

    Windows settings:
    • show screensaver: 1 min
    • turn monitor off: 2 min
    MediaPortal settings:
    • Blank screen in fullscreen when idle: not checked
    • when blanking screen, turn monitor off: not checked


    1. MediaPortal windowed
      • play video in fullscreen
        monitor is turned off after 2 mins
      • play video in GUImode
        nothing happens, video is played fine But I can see screensaver 1 microseconde after 1 min
    2. MediaPortal fullscreen
      • play video in fullscreen
        monitor is turned off after 2 mins
      • play video in GUImode
        nothing happens, video is played fine But I can see screensaver 1 microseconde after 1 min

    I will try the new SVN.

    okay, fine jer,

    now we have a step by step instruction, and two results. could be that i was doing something wrong or it is like it is.

    Problem today and next week i won't have time to do more tests. Will be in holiday, so hopefully yet another one can test and confirm something.

    Thx for testion jer

    kind regards

    Well... I have the same problem that jer.
    so... I won't start again a full description but... it's true... I use MP in window mode because I use MP on my TV only which is the second screen. and everybody knows that MP doen't work in fullscreen on the screen 2. So... no really a choice.

    If you need more information, don't hesitate.
