Darkening WMC screen

#1

Post by Embiggens » Tue Dec 17, 2013 6:49 pm

is anyone else again having the problem that your WMC screen is going black ('timing out' to screensaver mode) after using the remote functionality on this app? I am using a 360 extender, and the android app. This seemed to be fixed for awhile, and apparently has returned.

I'm using the newest version app (1.3.6.2); the services are I'm less certain if they are updated. I'm not certain of my services version number right now, but the last time I updated that was a few months ago because I have been happy with the overall stability of my system...so anyway I'm not sure if the newer services include a fix for a reversion in this behavior, hard to say because I don't see a changelog anywhere.

I have been noticing the same issue intermittently since installing MMC. Windows 8.1 and using the latest beta of MMC. It happened tonight and I havent even used the MMC app on my mobile device. Closing WMC and reopening seems to resolve the issue.

Hi, thanks for the response. Do you mean the latest 'beta' or 'stable' services? I'm on win7. Thanks.

I assume this will never get resolved?
