Hello,

I've got a problem since I update my SVN for the latest, after few hours when I put my HTPC in standby or not, I don't see MP, the screen is black, I must close MP (with Alt F4) and I have access to my windows desktop, I restart MP an it works .
Do you have add a new functionality (screensaver) and how you can desactivate it.

Thx in advance for your response :D

I have also noticed that "Blank screen when MP in fullscreen is idle" (or something like that) also blanks screen when watching video now, it did not do so just a couple of weeks ago.
I have my Power settings in Windows to blank screen after 10 minutes, but MP overrided that in fullscreen video before.

Hi, I noticed this too. More, I leave the "Blank screen when MP in fullscreen is idle" option unchecked (I want to have monitor always turned on if MediaPortal is opened), but since a few SVNs monitor goes blank even if I'm watching movies or TV. My Windows settings are to turn off video after 3 minutes.

Hi, I've got more precision about my problem.
In fact, when I turn on the TV server, I hibernate my computer, when I wake up my computer I don't have any images, I have a black screen.
If I start MP without use the TV, I can hibernate and wake up my computer without problem.
I need your help !!!

    This is usually driver related, are you initiating standby with a standby button, or is MP in homescreen via powerscheduler, change powerscheduler setting or try MCE standby tool.

    please be more explicit in the steps you use to get this problem.

    Hello,
    I tried MCE standby tool but I have the same problem.
    I'm going to try to be more explicit :
    I use TVE3 whith MP 0.2.3RC2
    -MP start
    -I launch the TVServer
    -I watch TV
    -I hibernate my computer when I finish to watch TV
    -I wake up my computer
    - I have a black screen but when I use my remote I hear the MP sound
    -I must close this screen (alt F4) and start MP.

    but when I don't use the TVServer (just my videos or another programs) I can hibernate it and wake up without problem.

    Since it is possible to quit MP pressing Alt F4 (I gues ctrl/alt/del works too?) I doubt that this is a driver problem.

    I don't remember seeing this behaviour in 0.2.1.x... I recently switched to 0.2.3.x

    Having exactly the same problem here. Even after restarting mediaportal, the screen stays black... mediaportal is working though.
