My Music Puts My Computer To Sleep

On a related problem (I think) I have noticed recently that on the PC the screen saver starts when video is playing. I do get a log message that says that NextPVR is trying to do it's thing to stop the screen saver but I still get a blank screen with audio from the video.

I'm bumping my post, I guess I should have started a new thread. NPVR does not prevent my screen saver (5 min) from blanking the screen windowed or full screen.

When it says it's stopping the screen saver, I'm pretty sure it's referring to the Windows screen saver, not the NPVR one - so you're probably still getting the NPVR screen saver kicking in.

The problem I am having is the Windows screen saver starts even when video is playing.

Hmm, I'm not really sure on that one.

What OS? I set my Win7 screen saver to 1 minute and playing a .mkv worked fine.......taking that back. Playing music and the screen saver kick in which I don't think it should. My npvr screen saver is set to "None" and 30 minutes.

I'm bumping this thread. Playing music will still allow the PC to go to sleep. Does anyone have any thoughts on how to prevent this (besides the obvious and not allowing the PC to sleep)? Watching video works fine.
