Screensaver option that'd work when lcd selected

[Tadmen]

well, since i had a problem getting my screensavers to work when i choose the option no tv in the lcd settings. i'd like to see if it's feasible not to have them disabled in that mode.
lcd's (i use x3lcd) are not perfect and ofet times we need to turn on the tv to verify settings, etc.
it would be nice then to have the screensavers working so that the tv's don't burn out :)

hope this helps

it's trivial to change, yes. the question is why was it initially added like this. if you compile yourself, see the checkscreensaver() method in application.cpp

i too think the screensaver should be "on" *even if you have notv mode, i think most peeps will at sometime or another leave the tv on when using xbmc and having to change settings everytime to stop burn is not ideal. *maybe you could think about this as trivial as it is (no big deal) but it would be appreciated by us geeks with lcds/plasmas and no brains/time for compiling our own cvs :) **

kind regards

i dont have an lcd screen so i cant test this, but maybe one of you can... in application.cpp, comment out these lines in capplication::checkscreensaver().


if (g_guisettings.getint("lcd.mode") == lcd_mode_notv)
return;



this will allow the screensaver to start when using no tv mode. but, i have no clue what might get presented on the lcd screen when the screensaver starts. try it and post your results.
