[mythtv-users] mythtv, screensavers and xine

[Jan Vilhuber]

I noticed the other day something about myth (I'm running svn -fixes)  
supports xscreensaver and thought that was really cool. Installed it,  
started it automatically when the window manager comes up, and myth  
seems to do the right thing.

Then I proceeded to fire up a movie (DVD iso), for which I use xine,  
and after a while, the screensaver came on!

I've been poking around a bit, and can't seem to see anywhere within  
xine where I can tell it to turn off the screensaver.

Other than creating a shell-script (that calls xscreensaver-command - 
stop and then xine, then xscreensaver-command start when it's done),  
is there another way to disable the screensaver?

I'm a bit surprised that xine doesn't handle this directly, or that  
mythtv doesn't disable the screensaver, regardless whether the  
internal or some external movie player is used...

Thoughts?
