YoWindow and Zoom Player

Post by ha14 »

Hi
For some reasons when i play movie video with zoom player after 4min Yowindow (3S build 166) screensaver popup, this does not happen when i play with Windows media player. Early things were okay but now this popup screensaver. What can be the reason, why Yowindow thus not detect Zoom player working.

I suspect Zoom player not being able to deactivate the screensaver as long as a video is playing.

I am using VLC media player and there is one setting in the options where i can tell VLC to deactivate screensaver.

Can you a deeper look at the options of zoom player if there's a similar option?

a look at the website of zoom player at the page http://www.inmatrix.com/zplayer/options ... aver.shtml says the following:

Code: Select all

Disable Screensaver and Monitor Powerdown when entering Fullscreen mode
The Windows Screensaver and Power Management features can activate the windows screen saver or turn off your monitor while watching videos or listening to music. This happens because no input is given (clicking the keyboard/moving the mouse). Zoom Player can automatically disable the windows screen saver and monitor powerdown while working in fullscreen/zoom mode to resolve this issue.
So at least if you run zoom player in fullscreen mode you can set this option.
