Enable Lockscreen/ Sleep when the player is on pause #582

I think Smplayer overrides the system‘s power and sleep settings. I left my laptop with a video on pause in Smplayer, and only noticed after one night that the screen had been kept on all the time. Maybe, there is a way to change it...

Uncheck the option to disable the screensaver in preferences -> general -> video.

but then it will go to sleep when watching a movie, the poster in question only wants it to sleep when the video is paused

I would like to see this implemented too. SMPlayer should release the screensaver block when media is paused.

This will be a great addition to SMPlayer, I hope it gets implemented too.
