I think it would be helpful if the screen saver feature functioned when full screen video has been in a pause state for the amount of time specified in the configuration for the screen saver.

I agree, this would be really nice! ( prevents burn in on plasma)

    Hi,

    If you know how to build MP from source, all you need to do is change the following lines in MediaPortal.MediaPortalApp.FrameMovee() (in MediaPortal.cs):
    Code:
          if (useScreenSaver)
          {
            if ([B]GUIGraphicsContext.IsFullScreenVideo[/B] ||
                GUIWindowManager.ActiveWindow == (int)GUIWindow.Window.WINDOW_SLIDESHOW)
            {
              GUIGraphicsContext.ResetLastActivity();
            }

    to

    Code:
          if (useScreenSaver)
          {
            if ([B](GUIGraphicsContext.IsFullScreenVideo && g_Player.Paused == false) [/B]||
                GUIWindowManager.ActiveWindow == (int)GUIWindow.Window.WINDOW_SLIDESHOW)
            {
              GUIGraphicsContext.ResetLastActivity();
            }

    I tried setting the windows screensaver to power off the display on my MP1 HTPC but in fact it only blanks the screen ("no video signal") on the TV I suspect the AVR has something to do with that.

    Just those I attached. I messed about with task priorities MP/TV-Server/SQL-Server and the issue changed to the skin.. I would do something, but it would be 10's of seconds before the action happened. Doing an Alt-Tab would flush the actions. Too weird lol!! So, with some flak from the family, I had to give in. I just did a...

    Thanks for your reply. In my configuration this setting is set to "no". To avoid misunderstandings, the MP window size changes on screen resolution changes, MP always fulfills the whole screen. Also, the home screen buttons size is adjusted. Only the font size is not adjusted to the new screen resolution.
