Screen Saver (Windows 11) not working while MM playing [#22019]

[fraserp]

Hi Folks
I google this and also searched the forums but couldn't "readily" find an answer.
A little while ago (I think) our Windows 11 screensaver no longer comes on while MM is playing. Once I stop MM, the screen saver restarts according to its settings. I recall dealing with this years ago but obviously something has changed.
Mr Google (ha) says that MM--> Tools --> Player --> (check) "allow screen saver" (or something like that).

Can one of you gurus please advise where the screen saver option now lives?

Many thanks as always
Fraser

There is no such option in MediaMonkey 2024.

Thanks Lowlander
So, just a quick follow-up question. Should the screensaver (windows11) stop while MM is playing? Or is there something else I should be doing?
Thanks Fraser

Don't know about Windows 11 screensaver settings. Presumably you're not playing videos or displaying a visualization?

No..... just the standard MM layout. As soon as I stop MM from playing the usual Windows11 screensaver kicks in again, so it appears that MM is stopping it from triggering for some reason. It's not a "biggy", just thought I would ask in case someone had a quick solution
PS..... I am using the Metro M (classic) skin which I have been using for ages.

Hi Lowlander...... I just wanted to add something to my previous post which may be of interest. As mentioned, when MM is playing, my Windows 11 screen saver is not activated...... BUT my wife determined that the screensaver does activate when playing to the "Local Player" which we rarely do. We are normally playing to google home based speaker somewhere in the house. I hope that sheds some possible light on the topic

Hi Lowlander. When Ludek updated the issue with "Fixed in 3500", can you advise what that means? Thanks Fraser

That it will be in the next major release. This will will still be a while before a final release.
