Hi, I'm not in community list, so I didn't know, but I there are more examples for programs, which should blank for the one use case and should not blank for an other one. Let me take your video player: most video players are audio players, too and you won't need the display in audio mode. Please be aware of the fact, that the enabled display sucks really *a lot of* power, so false positives are better than positive falses. In short: I don't think a whitelist of applications will really do it. Don't forget one can already change the way of the application start, so that display is not blanked. This could be done in a 5 lines python script by first requesting display resource, then starting the desired app (given via argv) and finally release the display after the desired app stopped. -- Sebastian
