Very confusing why this field wouldn't also be available for an Audio node, since I've never had to set it for our Video player, as the screensaver never kicks in while playing video anyway.


I assume my only option is to use an 'invisible' Video node?

    Hi. 

    Hmm , I did try it earlier, but got the error: 

    Warning occurred while setting a field of an RoSGNode
    -- Tried to set nonexistent field "disablescreensaver" of a "Audio" node

    And I just tested it again and the screensaver still kicked in.
     
    Using an invisible Video node for our audio stream seems to work just fine. 🙂
