Screen Power Saving when running as a Screensaver #794
Comments

No sure how to influence this - perhaps via SetThreadExecutionState |

Yes. We currently set those to prevent the display sleeping. I can see a scenario where you'd want the screensaver to keep the screen alive (ie if being used as a screensaver on a kiosk) and where you'd want it to go off per the OP's request. So I think ideally that wants to be somehow configurable. |

When running as a screensaver, Xibo seems to prevent Windows Power Management from putting the screen to sleep after the configured time.
This is the desired operation when running as a standalone application, but when running as a screensaver perhaps should be configurable?
