mGalaxy prevents screensaver

[chad79]

Update...it was crashing on my cabinet machine because of some DirectX issue...not sure why it would preview fine, configure fine, and run fine in test mode, but not when kicked off by the system...

Oh well...it's working now except for the fact that it wont initiate with video preview turned on...

Pretty sure it will require a code change on mGalaxy's side to tell the media player to not disable the screen saver....

How bout a command line argument pretty please??

First, great job on mGalaxy...I wish it was open source so I could contribute.

Second, I wanted my cabinet to cycle through game videos when it's not being used, so I created a screen saver that does this for me.  The screensaver by itself works perfectly, but, when mGalaxy is running, it doesn't function properly.

When I have video preview turned on in mGalaxy, the screensaver never even launches.  If I disable video preview, I can see the screensaver try to launch, but it immediately exits.

I'd prefer to keep video preview on, any suggestions would be great.

I just thought of something to try while writing this post.

1)  I'll try forcing mGalaxy to minimize.
2) If that doesn't work, maybe a temporary solution would be to turn on video preview and just send keypress events to mGalaxy to change to random games/systems.
