Netflix screensaver

post #1 of 6
Thread Starter 
While watching a movie in Netflix my screen saver comes on. It doesn't matter if I go directly to Netflix using a browser or if I'm watching a Netflix show through Secondrun.tv. The Netflix plugin in WMC stopped working long ago.

I know how to turn the screensaver off. Problem is its probably my wife's favorite thing about the HTPC. She thinks of it as a giant digital picture frame.

Then you'd better set it to come on after 2 hours of inactivity, because I think that watching video without touching a remote, a keyboard or a mouse counts as inactivity.

I'll be curious if anyone knows of another fix for this. I just don't use a screensaver.

Isn't there a hotkey to turn on the screensaver early? (I don't recall what it is.) Maybe you could teach her that for her to turn it on when she wants, but otherwise could have it set to only come on after a 2 or 3 hours.

I'm surprised Silverlight in full screen mode doesn't disable the screensaver.
