Hi,
I recently noticed that OSX enters sleep mode even when VLC is playing music. I only recently switched from PC to MAC and was wondering if this is normal?
Is there anyway to let OSX know that VLC is in playback mode, so OSX doesn't enter sleep mode? It's a minor detail, but it is very annoying having to relaunch VLC playback every 15 mins...
Thanks...

Re: VLC & OSX sleep mode issue
This should not happen if you are using OS X 10.6 (or later) and the latest version of VLC.
Could you check both versions?

Re: VLC & OSX sleep mode issue
I'm having the same issue. VLC does not keep Mac from going to sleep when playing audio.
Mac OS X version: 10.8.3
VLC version: 2.0.6
Thanks.

Re: VLC & OSX sleep mode issue
This bug seems to still be an active issue. It happens for me with OSX 10.10.5 and VLC 2.2.3. This more recent thread provides additional details about the problem I'm experiencing:

Re: VLC & OSX sleep mode issue
Please start a new thread for recent issues. Don't awaken dormant threads. 3 years is more than very dormant.
Providing logs, messages, configuration info (VLC, OS, Hardware) and a clear explanation of the issue always helps the problem solvers help you, even if they don't end up solving the issue. Just think what you would need if you were solving someone else's problem. Additional: Always looking for eager and capable MacOS X developers to join the VLC team - for more information see here.
