Screensaver

[sub]

I have a similar (possibly related possibly not) issue that I lose the video if: In timeshift mode, I pause, then minimize. When I Restore, the window is black.

This is normal. You cannot get VMR will not draw any frames to the screen unless video is playing. If it bothers you, you can switch to Overlay.

The 'VMR9 Custom' renderer option is the beginnings of a replacement for VMR to work around this limitation.

Just found out that I've got this problem myself. Running version 0.96.8; will upgrade after the hockey game to 0.96.12 to see if that helps.

For me, I've left my computer on for the last couple days not really doing anything with it (so the screensaver has been on the entire time). Pressing the TV guide button gets me out of it, however, mouse, keyboard, as well as the arrow and enter keys on the remote control (and maybe others on the remote; didn't try them all) didn't work.

Not using any plugins; just a standard, clean install of GB-PVR.

Sub,
this one i do know how to reproduced...

enabled screensaver.
leave machine for 5 days and you cann't get out of the screensaver.

i have managed to get out of the screensaver via taskmanager aka cntrl alt del and it ok from then on.

because i work away during the week i get pbgvr to record verything which means it sits for days at a time and it's not interacted with

hope this helps.

Yeah, thanks for that. I'm not going leave it running on my development machine in the debugger for 5 days.

If you can find a much quicker way to reproduce it (less than an hour), then I'll look at it. If not, then I wont.

lol this made me laugh! Want do you mean you don't have the time sub

[systemshark]

Sub,

the time delay was the reason, I'd not bothered to post the problem either, I 'fixed' it by disabled the screensaver and stopped worrying,

But I do figure it out I'll let you know...

Sub,

Not sure if you've looked at this recently, but I have a log of the screensaver problem. I too left it unattended for 5 or so days before noticing it. I'll do the same as others and disable it for the time being.

I'm fairly sure I've found the cause of this, so it should be resolved in the next release.

I didnt experience this until the 12 release

I've got the same Problem.
To get out of the screensaver, just press the "Windows"-button on the keyboard.
