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();
            }

    That was it! :) I had to set it to "Maintain display scaling". I think it was set to "Maintain Aspect Ratio", which added black bars to MediaPortal when playing videos that didn't conform to a strict 16:9 ratio, I suppose. Thanks to everyone for the patience and help, I can finally enjoy videos fully.

    MP1 MP2 Odd Standby issue DE
    Since I played around with all the settings as per the previous posts and despite putting everything back to how it was, as far as I can tell, now when my HTPC wakes up to make a recording it no longer does so in away mode. I will probably do a restore from a backup in the hope that that will resolve the issue.:mad:

    I guess it's really a rare case, most users use remote controls, then keyboards and last mouse.
