DPMS is often re-enabled when switching titles into playlist

    • Closed Issue created by netfab @netfab

    Hi,

    I'm using vlc 2.0.5 to view TV streams from my ISP using a playlist.

    Sometimes while viewing a channel, DPMS turns the screen off. It does not happen all the time, but often enough to be annoying.

    After doing a few observations, I think that vlc is enabling/disabling DPMS very quickly each time you switch a channel into the playlist, and sometimes, it fails disabling it, leaving the screen with DPMS on (just a theory).

    Currently to workaround this I'm forced to use à wrapper script like this :

    #!/bin/sh
xset -dpms &
/usr/bin/vlc "$@"
xset +dpms

    Thanks.
