I noticed that the OSX screensaver and energy saver settings override those of xbmc. I set my display sleep to 5 mins for when I'm not using xbmc yet while playing music in xbmc after 5 mins the display sleeps and cuts off any music that was playing. Music playback resumes if I move the mouse or press a key on the keyboard.
Davilla mentions in this thread (http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid...ep+display) that xbmc overrides the system level screensaver and presumably power settings as well...well that's not the case with me.
I've also noticed that if I set Display Sleep to "never" and in its place set the OSX screensaver to 5 min that during xbmc music playback the OSX screensaver will turn on at the 5 min mark (again contrary to what was said in the thread above).
Is this a bug? I've copied my settings below and I have a debug log saved (though I can't seem to be able to attach it to this post).
XBMC settings:
Put display to sleep when idle: Off
Shutdown function timer: Off
Shutdown function: Quit
OSX settings:
System Pref. > Energy Saver > Display Sleep: 5 min
System Pref. > Energy Saver > Computer Sleep: 30 min
*Edit* the following bug report is similar to what I'm experiencing: http://trac.xbmc.org/ticket/8276
