Where is the screensaver being disabled? (1 Viewer)

[OdieGiblet]

I've found the code below in MediaPortal.cs for disabling the screensaver. But the SC_SCREENSAVE message seems to be only called when MediaPortal is not in full screen mode. Does anybody know where the code is that says to disable the Windows screensaver while a video is playing in full screen mode?

      if (msg.Msg == WM_SYSCOMMAND && msg.WParam.ToInt32() == SC_SCREENSAVE)
      {
        // windows wants to activate the screensaver
       if ((GUIGraphicsContext.IsFullScreenVideo) ||
           GUIWindowManager.ActiveWindow == (int)GUIWindow.Window.WINDOW_SLIDESHOW)
        {
          //disable it when we're watching tv/movies/...
          msg.Result = new IntPtr(0);
          return;
        }
      }

Hi OdieGiblet

I made a plugin for exactly that

MediaPortal standard is not doing this.

Great thanks! I'll check it out when I get home. But my intention is not actually to disable the screensaver as Media Portal is disabling it fine. All I really want is for my screensaver to be re-enabled when the video is paused. Does your plugin do this?

No it reenables the screensaver when playback stops.

No it reenables the screensaver when playback stops.

Does your plugin work though? It seems like people are complaining about it in that thread. So your plugin will start the screensaver when you're at the 'my videos' screen?
