Disable Sccreensaver

[adtbm]

Hi,
i am using the Videolooper and the setup was quite easy.
What i have noticed (and please exuse me if this is a simple task), the looper goes into black screen after some time. I've already looked into the .ini file, but haven't found an entry there.
It looks like, the screensaver or power save kicks in and disables the looper.
Is there an easy way to disable the Screensaver/powerSaver ?

Thank you

Hi,
no I don't think it's a screensaver - if you installed the looper like described in the readme (installed lite and not the one with desktop) then there is no screensaver. If you installed it correctly then maybe enable the console output in the ini and check the supervisor logs if it maybe crashes..

Thanks for the quick answer.
i followed the instructions in the ReadMe, i don't have a desktop at all, the looper boots and starts the videos (so i suppose it must be the Lite version).
I'll check for the Supervisor log.

OK, i checked again.
The Screen blacks out more or less always after running for about 20 minutes.
I've tried in Raspi-config to disable screen blackout, but no change.
It certainly did not crash, because once i hit ESC after the screen goes black, i am back with normal command prompt.

Okay weird, I have never experienced this issue before... Is there anything in the log files or in dmesg?

Just a quick idea, can you try a different screen? In case it’s the screen that doesn’t play along. Am 02.03.2025 um 08:40 schrieb Tobias Perschon ***@***.***>: Okay weird, I have never experienced this issue before...
