SageTV Screen Saver kicks on while watching ZoomPlayer

[DSSavant]

Just like the title says, when I'm watching something in ZoomPlayer, SageTV will steal focus when its bouncing SageTV Screen Saver kicks on. It seems to do this all the time when on the main menu. If I sit on a recorded show's information screen, it does not always happen.

Any ideas for a fix/adjustment would be very much appreciated.

SageTV version: 6.0.13.1
Running SageMC (and loving it)
ZoomPlayer version: 5.0.0.0

Sorry, if this doesnt answer your question. Im curious what do you use Zoomplayer for that you cant use sageTV for? Is it because its quicker for you to start the media file via the Windows Explorer? Or possibly use a custom filtergraph?

You're right it doesn't answer the request for help but I will answer your questions. I use ZoomPlayer because it has superior DVD processing qualities in my humble opinion. I can pick the audio and video rendering tools, I can zoom in and out of the picture, I can ... SageTV is used for TV shows and all other recorded video (AVI, etc.).

As for loading files, I simply load ZoomPlayer and navigate to the DVD files I want to watch and play them. All others are watched by SageTV via its TV recordings or its Video Library capabilities.
