Hi,
The thing is that sometimes when I close vlc after I've watched
some
video it doesn't terminate cleanly. That is there is still a vlc
process running in the background and it prevents the screen saver from
blanking the screen. So sometimes when I wake up or come home after
being out I notice that the screen has been on all the time. Not so
good. I have to go to system monitor and find the vlc process and kill
it, then the screen saver can again do its thing.
Can anything be done about it, except always checking manually that vlc
has terminated completely?
For what it's worth I see this exact same issue, on F31 and F32. Not
sure exactly when it started but I see it even when I start vlc from the
command line. I "close" the vlc window but often still have to CTRL-C on
the terminal. In addition when I pause videos, it still sits chewing
100% CPU time, or rather 200% in this case on my little 2 core netbook.
