Option to Turn TV OFF when screensaver is activated and Turn TV ON when deactivated?

I don't see the screensaver attribute in the JSON API. Am I missing something? I'm looking in the following locations:

http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=JSON-RPC_API
http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=JSON-RPC_API/v2
http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=JSON-RPC_API/v3

I would really like to be able to get the status of the screensaver.

Thanks.

Any progress on this one? I'd like to power off my TV too when XBMC enters the screensaver-mode.

I finally got something working, although it is an ugly hack.

Basically you need to go into XMBC settings and tell it to close after x minutes (I set it to 5).

Then you can use EventGhost to monitor XBMC. Create an EventGhost macro so when XBMC closes, it launches the screensaver (C:\Windows\system32\Mystify.scr or something like that). There is also an EventGhost event to start the screensaver.

Then create another macro where it monitors the Mystify.scr application. When Mystify starts, blast the IR for TV power. When Mystify stops, blast the IR for TV power and launch XBMC.

Using this method is a complete hack, but it works for me. If you are confused by any of it just let me know and I will give you the exact instructions.
