Subject: Liberating Full Screen

I'm guessing I'm not the only one who has a habit of falling asleep in front of the TV; Sadly, when you watch a video in fullscreen, Windows (or something) disables the screensaver/sleep mode. Pretty practical when you're watching... but it would be nice that after a fullscreen video ends, MythTV player would close the fullscreen automatically in order to let the computer fall into sleep mode.

With 0.5.0 the screensaver should be enabled after stopping the Stream. Give it a try ;-)

To get the Player to switch back to windowed mode you need the following change:
