Windows screensaver kicks in over NPVR

wannabepvr · 2012-10-02, 09:40 PM

Ok, late to the party. I have been playing with NPVR on the side but only just swapped over my primary machine from GBPVR. (gbpvr worked so well I didn't want to touch it)

Started a few days ago running 2.5.5 and just updated to 2.5.9 and see the same issue with both where the windows screensaver (xp 32bit) kicks in over NPVR. Both in menus and playback. I am sure I have seen this discussed before after searching the forum I can't find any reference.

I would appreciate it if anyone can point me in the right direction. Cheers!

I think you're just supposed to disable the windows screensaver, and use the NPVR screensaver instead. That's what I've always done anyway. I actually use SSPlus, which is available on the wiki.
