    depends on how you want it to work. Do you want the screensaver to be off all the time, or just in fullscreen video?

    For what you want, you can go to powerscheduler in the plugins section and change the shutdown section to "None-or Windows built in" and then set the shutdown time to something very large. I think that will work, but you'll have to test.
    All screensavers are inactive when watching fullscreen video, but most people have it set to blank the screen when in menus for some time, to avoid damage to plasmas and the like.

    Use the attached files... execute them before and after MP ;)

    EDIT: You can also create a BAT file for executing these files and also MP itself

    Did it work? And sorry, I should have mentioned that I was just running a test with zap2it at the command line. I'm not using MP.

If I manually put the TV only into standby when TV is playing but paused then on wakeup I could not immediately take it out of pause and...
