Hi patricon

In my installation i get the menuitem under My Modules.

I actually have no idea why you get it in the home menu, and i don't no how to remove it.

Anybody?

Sorry i wanted to mean My plugins entry, not My home. Can this issue be fixed?

mfalk:
Your plugin does not work for me in the latest SVNs (currently I am using 15280).
E.g. I have not selected the "Music" and "Radio" heckboxes within the plugin configuration. When playing radio, after 10 minutes (that is the Windows screen saver timeout), the screen goes black for a few milliseconds but comes back immediately.

Also, if I select the "WindowsScreenSaver" menu within the MP Menu "Sonstiges", also the menu disappeas shortly but comes back afterwards. Sothere is no funcion behind it.

I am using Windows XP SP2 with MP 0.2.3 RC1 and TVE3 with SVN 15280.
Also, please note that I have enabled PowerScheduler. Might this be the problem?

MediaPortal log is attached.

Best regards,

Andy

Take a look at this: https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/interface_non_gui_plugins-t538.html may be that it can solve the problem of showing the menu entry in My plugins section...

Yes patricon is right.

Your plugin is "classic" process plugin. But you have created it as a normal Window plugin and because of this the menu entry is shown.

All you have to do is let your class inherit the IPlugin interface. Then you need you own implementations of the start() and stop() methods (init and deinit is not necessary because they are methods of a window plugin).

I was trying this plugin because MP does not allow the Windows screen saver any more in the MyRadio and MyMusic section. This has worked until some weeks ago without any additional plugin.

Do you know how I can get MP to accept the Windows screen saver in MyRadio and MyMusic?

It's working for my, i've just unchecked both check marks in Radio and Music and it works fine...

patricon:
For me it does not work.

My settings are as follows:
- MP Verion: 0.2.3 RC1 with SVN 15317
- TVE3: SVN 15317
- PowerScheduler in MP and TVE3 activated. Idle time until hibernate is 5 minutes.
- "Blank screen in fullscreen mode if MP is idle" in MP setup is DISABLED
- WindowsScreenSaver plugin is ENABLED and the checkboxes next to MyMusic and MyRadio are DSIABLED
- Windows screen saver is set to "black screen" after 5 minutes

What happens is that after 5 minutes playing mp3 files, the screen gets black for a few ms but comes back immediately again. The MP log shows nothing about the windows screen saver (neither the plugin nor the windows xp screen saver).

Any ideas?
