Thorium-XP - Prevent Screensaver When Watching Youtube #70

Closed dribgnikcom closed 5 months ago

dribgnikcom commented 7 months ago

The Windows XP screensaver initiates during Youtube playback. I also had this problem on other modern Chrome-based browsers on XP but not on Firefox-based ones. Perhaps a fix could be implemented? Thanks and great job.

It is completely stable for me, unlike Supermium.

@dribgnikcom That would be something you should hit up win32ss with. I'm not familiar enough with Windows XP development to know how to get it to do this. I could probably find where in the code, but I wouldn't know what to add to make it tell XP to halt the screensaver service when video is playing.

Thanks. I opened an issue on the Supermium github:

Windows XP - Prevent Screensaver When Watching Youtube #574

If you could chime in there, I would appreciate it as well. Thanks!
