Will this plugin stop the computer from switching off the screen if you're watching a video aswell?

 

[MoPhat]

No, just avoids that the computer goes to standy if a user is pressing the power button while something is recorded.

> You can set the timer for the monitor on the power setting control (windows control panel)

Ok thanks, yes I know about the windows-settings, but atm I have to run at at 4 hours to avoid interution in the longest movies, and that is too long for it to be of any real use.

Where is this located as I could not find it. Maybe I am going blind in my old ages, looked as hard as I could could but I was unable to find it.

Any progress here or new results? Will be a compiled .dll available?

I have some troubles to hold the away mode because MP is overwriting this state with is own

...?
