Screen randomly blacking out #34

Closed type2diabetes closed 9 months ago

So I'm running this off one of my older PCs for a 24/7 mostly unattended live stream and it works great, for the most part. Only slightly annoying thing is sometimes at seemingly random intervals screen goes black before coming back after x seconds, but two times it took minutes so I made it autorefresh every minute but it still happens as shown in this clip

Any ideas or possible solutions?

Hmm, my first guess be that idle mode is wonky on your device. Can you take a look in the web console when it happens next time? If it's indeed the idle mode, it should say so in there.

It's a bit hard to say what's going on here without additional context :/

EDIT: Actually, it looks more like the entire page is refreshing. This should only happen when the backend server is completely restarted. Are you sure the backend server stays untouched?

Idle mode was one of the first things I disabled when I started using it.

Updated java from 19 to 21 which did nothing, still happened. However, it seems I was just being dumb and trusting the browser source in OBS too much, changed it to run in an actual Firefox browser and just window capture it and I havent noticed the issue for hours now having it up on a second monitor. Probably should've done this from the start lol, sorry. :)
