Hi there,

it seems like in Lion, the Remote doesn't wake displays from standby.
I guess that's in order to play music without the screen brightening the whole room...
well whatever...

When you start a movie in VLC,
pause the movie, wait till the displays go to sleep
and press play on the remote again,
the displays stay in standby-mode but the playback continues.

Meaning you have to move the mouse or press a button on the keyboard to wake them again.
Bad for remote users

Do you experience the same issue when using iTunes or DVD Player in fullscreen mode?

Ok, just tested it once again
(MacBook Pro)

- Itunes Music: Remote keeps displays in Standby
- Itunes Video: Remote wakes displays from Standby
- Quicktime: Remote wakes displays from Standby
- DVD Player: Not tested
- VLC: Remote keeps displays in Standby (<- should wake them)
