Title: Detached view: Disable screensaver
Post by: carbo on October 22, 2010, 11:59:04 am

HI,

I've already reported this in previous versions but it would be really nice to disable screensaver when playing video files.

Right now, MC only disables screensaver in theatre view.

I'm displaying main MC window on my monitor and render video on my TV with a detached display. After the delay screensaver appears on windows 7.

Thanks for the awesome work

Guillaume

Hopefully fixed in build 138 and later:
Fixed: The screensaver would not be disabled on UAC-enabled systems when watching videos in detached fullscreen mode when the focus was on the detached display.

Please let us know how it works for you once it is available.  Thanks.

No, sorry.

You either need to use Display View or disable the screensaver manually.
