Hello, I have a problem with VLC since version 3.X on Windows 7.
The monitor turns off while I'm watching a movie.

I tried the "disable screensaver" option, but that doesn't affect it.
I can't just set the monitor to be always on, because it has some burn-in issues.
Btw, my pc sleep option is disabled (because sometimes it failed to resume).

Does anyone know how to fix this?

I also have this issue with version 3.0.7.1. I never had this problem in previous VLC versions. My TV is switched off after 10 minutes (Windows setting), even though video is still playing.

Hi, can you provide verbose logs ?

To help you, we need messages, to completely understand what your problems is.
To fix this, please be sure before you start the playback to:

Open: Tools -> Messages.
Set Verbosity to 2
Start playback to reproduce your issue
Save text in a file or copy into clipboard
Then paste the full resulting log here between [code]and[/code] (or use Pastebin.com if it's too long)

Also don't forget to name your Operating System and provide the VLC media player version.
