Hi!

Thanks for the info.

Bino needs to suspend the screensaver when going into fullscreen mode, and resume it when leaving fullscreen mode.

There is now code to do that, but it currently only works on X11 systems, not yet Windows or Mac OS, because I don't have access to these systems.

I'll open two new bugs for this, and I'm closing this one.

If you would like to implement this feature on Mac OS, have a look at the suspend_screensaver() and resume_screensaver() functions in video_output_qt. Maybe you can reuse code from VLC.

Hello,

On my macbook, I have VLC installed.
When I play a movie in normal resolution, not fullscreen, the screen goes into batterysaving after about 5 minutes.
When playing a movie in fullscreen, this does not happen and the movie is constantly visible.

Playing a 3D movie in Bino, the screen goes into batterysaving after about the same 5 minutes, fullscreen playback and normal resolution.

Hi!

Can you give more information? When the screen goes black, does that mean the screensaver is activated, or the monitor is powered down for energy saving, or none of the above? And what do you mean with "normal mode"?

Hello,

First, very nice job in the creation of this very nice program
Second, when playing fullscreen on my macbook, after a while the screen goes black.
When I play a movie on an other player, this does not happen.
Only when I play a movie in normal mode, the screen goes in battery saving and blacks out.

GrTz,
Martin
