The only thing that smplayer does when the option "disable screensaver" is checked, is to pass the option -stop-xscreensaver to mplayer.
So check if -stop-xscreensaver is really passed to mplayer (you can see it in the mplayer log: Options -> View logs). If that option is not passed then it's a bug in smplayer. Otherwise it's a problem of mplayer. Anyway it's a known problem that recent versions of mplayer fail to disable the gnome screensaver. For that you have to use the -heartbeat- cmd (and even that may not work). -- smplayer doesn`t switch off screensaver when playing movies https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/412779 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
