Does somebody know a methode to disable the screensaver with a command/function from the layout.nut script?
or is it possible to block the transition to the screensaver?
-
I don't think there is a way to do it directly, but perhaps you could catch the FromTo.ScreenSaver transition and maybe trigger something to stop it?
-
Setting the screensaver timeout to 0 will disable/block the transitioning to the screensaver.
Config->Screen Saver->Screen Saver Timeout

Thank you for the quick response.
@Liquid8d: Yes , I can catch the FromTo.ScreenSaver, but how to block it?
@Raygun: I preffer to disable the screensaver only for some displays not for all, so need a script to temporary disable the screensaver.
-
I'm not sure what things would "block" it, but perhaps send a signal to do nothing, maybe set display to the current display? Basically try to find something that does nothing, but could prevent it from launching the screensaver.

If you create your own screen saver, you have so much more control. That's what I did.

OK, will do some trail and error, see what it brings.
Thank you, for your suggestions.

What i can do??
This code is for identify the event:
fe.add_transition_callback( "transition" );
function transition( ttype, var, transition_time )
{
local redraw_needed = false;
if( ttype == Transition.EndLayout && var == FromTo.ScreenSaver )
{
::print( "\n\nSCREENSAVERRRR\n\n" );
//return true;
}
return false;
}
But a do know what i can do for prevent screensaver launch :S
