2 problems 1] disable screensaver doesn't work 2] projectM

Postby phrost » 03 Oct 2013 11:00

1] I deselected disable screensaver because I want my folding@home screensaver to load at night. Many nights I leave VLC on in the middle of a video... but I noticed sometimes my screen stays on all night. This occurs even when VLC is paused.

2] When playing audio and using the projectM visualization, it doesn't stretch to fill the whole screen. Can you please fix these two bugs? THANK YOU!

VLC #1! :mrgreen:

Are there any plans to fix these bugs? I really need my screen saver to run all night.. but that means I have to close VLC, it's not ideal.

Close VLC at end of file?

Noone has looked at those bugs, AFAIK.

That's what I currently do.. but I'd like to be able to leave VLC on all night, since sometimes I pause whatever I'm watching before I go to bed.

Then screensaver won't go on, for now.
