VLC: Disable screensaver while playing video

Problems with emerge or ebuilds? Have a basic programming question about C, PHP, Perl, BASH or something else?

VLC: Disable screensaver while playing video

  • Quote

Post by LinusTorvalds1 » Fri Jul 17, 2020 5:20 am

I recently cleaned up my global flags and rebuilt VLC and its dependencies. Part of the clean up was removing X, but I still include it in VLC and its dependencies (see below). As intended, the screensaver would not activate before the cleanup.

In my `~/.config/vl/vlcr`, I've tried setting `disable-screensaver` to 0, 1 and commented out, and neither of the 3 settings work.

Below are my use flags:

Code: Select all

media-video/vlc ffmpeg matroska pulseaudio qt5 udev X

# required by media-video/vlc-3.0.10-r1::gentoo
# required by vlc (argument)
>=sys-libs/zlib-1.2.11-r2 minizip

# required by media-video/vlc-3.0.10-r1::gentoo[ffmpeg]
# required by vlc (argument)
>=media-video/ffmpeg-4.2.3 postproc gpl X

# required by "media-video/vlc-3.0.10-r1::gentoo[qt5]
dev-qt/qtgui X

# required by dev-qt/qtcore-5.14.2::gentoo
# required by dev-qt/qtgui-5.14.2::gentoo
# required by dev-qt/qtsvg-5.14.2::gentoo
# required by media-video/vlc-3.0.10-r1::gentoo[qt5]
# required by vlc (argument)
>=dev-libs/libpcre2-10.34 unicode pcre16
I'm not really Linus Torvalds... or am I?
