Enable Internal Screensaver / Screen Blanking on pause state (1 Viewer)

[Cetra]

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):

      if (useScreenSaver)
      {
        if ([B]GUIGraphicsContext.IsFullScreenVideo[/B] ||
            GUIWindowManager.ActiveWindow == (int)GUIWindow.Window.WINDOW_SLIDESHOW)
        {
          GUIGraphicsContext.ResetLastActivity();
        }

to

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