Re: VLC and screen saver

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,


The thing is that sometimes when I close vlc after I've watched some
video it doesn't terminate cleanly. That is there is still a vlc
process running in the background and it prevents the screen saver from
blanking the screen. So sometimes when I wake up or come home after
being out I notice that the screen has been on all the time. Not so
good. I have to go to system monitor and find the vlc process and kill
it, then the screen saver can again do its thing.

Can anything be done about it, except always checking manually that vlc
has terminated completely?

For what it's worth I see this exact same issue, on F31 and F32. Not sure exactly when it started but I see it even when I start vlc from the command line. I "close" the vlc window but often still have to CTRL-C on the terminal. In addition when I pause videos, it still sits chewing 100% CPU time, or rather 200% in this case on my little 2 core netbook.
