send blank video signal over HDMI for audio playback
« on: January 01, 2018, 02:02:14 pm »

does jriver have a feature (or can it be added) that would send a blank (not black) video signal over HDMI for audio playback?

Question: why would you need this? Is it because you can't turn off your tv without the music stopping?

i can, but i do like to do things with the PC while it's running JRiver where i come back every 20-30 mins (for example, I'm backing up various media types using several different apps) and I don't want to be turning the TV on/off multiple times an hour.  figured a simple built-in screen saver that would just send blank video (not black) that would wake up on mouse move would be perfect.

however i found alternatives - windows 10 screen saver has a "blank" feature (have not used a screen saver in some time! should have checked there first).  and even better - installed Chrome Remote Desktop and can leave the TV off but connect via remote desktop from my laptop or tablet and do what I need to.

request withdrawn :)
