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.
When this happens, check the system panel. Do you see a VLC icon
there? Right click and exit. Does this clear up your terminal window?
VLC, for me, has this background task that stays running unless I exit it.
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.
