Is there any way to have a screen saver in Media Portal that isnt the black screen? When looking at my TV, I am not sure if the TV is off, or just a screensaver! so it would be nice to have some other type of screen saver for my htpc.
yeah, just turn off the black screen option and enable the windows Screensaver you want.
There used to be a bug where this was active all the time, but that was a very long time ago. Now I'm pretty sure the screen saver is disabled during full screen video and only enabled in other screens.
