Screen Saver (Windows 11) not working while MM playing

Post by fraserp »

Hi Folks
I google this and also searched the forums but couldn't "readily" find an answer.
A little while ago (I think) our Windows 11 screensaver no longer comes on while MM is playing. Once I stop MM, the screen saver restarts according to its settings. I recall dealing with this years ago but obviously something has changed.
Mr Google (ha) says that MM--> Tools --> Player --> (check) "allow screen saver" (or something like that).

Can one of you gurus please advise where the screen saver option now lives? :)

Many thanks as always :)

There is no such option in MediaMonkey 2024.

Thanks Lowlander
So, just a quick follow-up question. Should the screensaver (windows11) stop while MM is playing? Or is there something else I should be doing?
Thanks Fraser

Don't know about Windows 11 screensaver settings. Presumably you're not playing videos or displaying a visualization?

No..... just the standard MM layout. As soon as I stop MM from playing the usual Windows11 screensaver kicks in again, so it appears that MM is stopping it from triggering for some reason. It's not a "biggy", just thought I would ask in case someone had a quick solution :)
PS..... I am using the Metro M (classic) skin which I have been using for ages.
