[QUOTE="geoffstewart, post: 1059506, member: 83396"] I was browsing the source for MP online. The [URL='http:// https://github.com/MediaPortal/MediaPortal-1/blob/master/mediaportal/MediaPortal.Application/MediaPortal.cs']MediaPortal.cs[/URL] file has a section that might be useful: [CODE] if (_useScreenSaver) { if ((GUIGraphicsContext.IsFullScreenVideo && g_Player.Paused == false) || GUIWindowManager.ActiveWindow == (int)GUIWindow.Window.WINDOW_SLIDESHOW || GUIWindowManager.ActiveWindow == _idlePluginWindowId) { GUIGraphicsContext.ResetLastActivity(); } if (!GUIGraphicsContext.BlankScreen && !Windowed) { TimeSpan ts = DateTime.Now - GUIGraphicsContext.LastActivity; if (ts.TotalSeconds >= _timeScreenSaver) { if (_useIdleblankScreen) { if (!GUIGraphicsContext.BlankScreen) { Log.Debug("Main: Idle timer is blanking the screen after {0} seconds of inactivity", ts.TotalSeconds.ToString("n0")); } GUIGraphicsContext.BlankScreen = true; } else if (_useIdlePluginScreen) { if (_idlePluginWindowId != 0) { if (!_idlePluginActive) { _idlePluginActive = true; Log.Debug("Main: Idle timer is setting the screensaver application after {0} seconds of inactivity", ts.TotalSeconds.ToString("n0")); GUIWindowManager.ActivateWindow(_idlePluginWindowId); } } else... [/CODE] It seems you might be able to use the IExternalPlayer to register the player as a valid player. Then when you get your player from the player factory and trigger a play, MP will know that the g_Player is actually playing.... Seems complicated ;) Thanks for asking, anyway [/QUOTE]
