mGalaxy prevents screensaver
Posted: Wed Feb 05, 2014 1:26 am
First, great job on mGalaxy...I wish it was open source so I could contribute.
Second, I wanted my cabinet to cycle through game videos when it's not being used, so I created a screen saver that does this for me. The screensaver by itself works perfectly, but, when mGalaxy is running, it doesn't function properly.
When I have video preview turned on in mGalaxy, the screensaver never even launches. If I disable video preview, I can see the screensaver try to launch, but it immediately exits.
I'd prefer to keep video preview on, any suggestions would be great.
I just thought of something to try while writing this post.
1) I'll try forcing mGalaxy to minimize.
2) If that doesn't work, maybe a temporary solution would be to turn on video preview and just send keypress events to mGalaxy to change to random games/systems.
