Disable screensaver from starting if video is playing #263

Closed codemunkie15 closed 2 days ago

Hi

I recently started using this on a tablet and it's been awesome. One thing I'm trying to figure out is how to stop the screensaver from starting if I have a camera feed currently playing?

For more context, I use browser mod to show different camera feeds in a popup, for x amount of time, such as my front door camera when someone rings the doorbell. I am currently sending the "stop screensaver" javascript when I want to display a feed, but then the screensaver starts again due to inactivity.

Is it possible to treat a playing video as activity so the screensaver doesn't start if I am showing a camera feed?

Many thanks

Hi, with the new version 4.29.0 I have added the configuration disable_screensaver_on_browser_mod_popup. If you set it to true, the screensaver will be disabled when a browser mod popup becomes active. As long as the popup is active, the screensaver will not be started again.
