OK ... Since i updated to 1.1.0 i'm haveing problems with my screen saver.
I use google pictures screen saver, to display random pictures while i am not using the HTPC.
In 1.0.2 it used to function normally - whenever i was not using HTPC unless i had paused a video, the screen saver would kick in after 1 min.

I jut noticed, that the screen saver does not start if i have MP running.
However, if i enter the screensaer settings from desktop and reapply the same settings, the screen saver works normally until i restart the MP.

as i said, this is only happening in MP 1.1.0, worked fine on 1.0.2

Any ideas?

I have just realised, that now i also get screensaver activation while in pause - that is only if i apply the screensaver settings while the MP is already running.

The problem is it it interchanging with the paused picture ( paused picture, screensacer picture, paused picture ...)

any ideas ?

Check out ScreenControl by Micropolis.

This does everything you want. I kinda wish this was directly integrated into MP but alas. Works flawlessly on MP 1.1.1

EDIT: Also, try disabling always on top, screws with the screen saver.
