Hi,
this may be due to the new version of VLC or it's something esle that's new and not right on my PC, but all of a sudden VLC does not prevent the PC from entering standby mode. My PC is set to go to sleep after 30min of inactivity but previoulsy watching a video in VLC was considered activity and it would not do it.
Yes I have "Disable screensaver" enabled (ticked off) in VLC options and no I haven't done any extensive testing (i.e. try other players) just yet. Just wondering if anyone else has this issue.
Thanks!
Edit: Right, so I set the timer to 1min for testing purposes and played a movei in VLC. PC went to sleep after the 1 minute mark. Tried the same using MPC HomeCinema and the movie kept playing. So this is definitely an issue with VLC.
