Netflix Turns Display Off after 5 minutes

tjcinnamon · 2012-05-24 16:43

I have netflix playing and the screen turns off after 5 minutes. Granted, this is the set up I have in my power settings, however, it only seems to apply to netflix.

I am running it in IE for maximum compatibility. I don't want to change the screen timeout, I'd prefer that Netflix streaming operate like 90% of the other programs I use and have it recognized as active. If I have an emulator running in full screen or even XBMC the screen won't timeout after inactivity.

Is anyone else having this issue?

Thanks,
JOe K.

The solution would be to make it so that IE doesn't cause the display to sleep, regardless of if XBMC is involved or not, because that's how the system will look at it.

How would I go about doing that?

I'm hoping this works but I won't get to try it until later.

You'd think that it would work but it did not.

Anyone make any headway on this?

There has to be a solution unless everyone is putting up with the same problem.
