Title: video - screen shutdown
Post by: ginty32 on June 26, 2012, 12:21:07 pm

I've mainly used MC for music and I'm slowly moving from VLC to MC for video.  I have a problem that I'm sure is a easy fix; about 10 min in to a video the screen shuts down.  I've checked my computers system and the monitor isn't scheduled to shutdown for 2hrs.  I can't find anything in video options to stop this from happening.  Would someone point me in the right direction?

Cheers,
Ginty

Screen saver?

If it is the screensaver, you might try Media Center v17.

It uses the SetThreadExecutionState(...) Windows API (in addition to other methods) to better handle disabling the screensaver.

I have the screensaver turned off.
