Hi,

I've the following issue (also with 1.0):
When I use the MP built-in screensaver to blank the screen out and make my tv to go into standby, typically after some time (30min-3 hours) the screen comes back (but stays black) and the TV turns on. After that the TV doesnt go to standby anymore.

Thats really too bad, cause I want to blank out MP to turn my TV off to save power.

Anyone experienced that on their TV/MP setup? I havent found anything in the logs.

No one has any idea? This is a really annoying problem...
I consider this as a MP screensaver bug, as I have never experienced such behaviour with the Windows screensaver.

Okey, btw I'noticed that MP has the same strange state, when I wake it up manually from a hibernate (suspend-to-disk). Then it doesnt show the main menu, but a black screen, and the TV is not going into standby.

New bug here with my system after update to 1.0.2. Now the MP screensaver just turns the screen black, the TV isn't going into standby anymore.
