Aerial starts when i'm on Youtube fullscreen mode

[larrix]

Bug:

I got the settings on "Start Aerial After 5 minutes" and I had no problems with anything else, but when i'm on Youtube (on Chrome) in fullscreen mode, Aerial starts runnnig and I have to move the mouse or whatever to continue watching the video. Is annoying as hell.
Please would you look into this?

Aerial Version:
1.2.1

Hello I have the same problem when I'm watching a video with Pot Player.
The version history page says I should run Aerial in administrator mode. I tried that and when I restart Windows, Aerial just won't load.

Should I install Aerial as a scr screensaver? If I do that, do I need to uninstall the stand alone Aerial first? Why would the scr version have performance issues?
Thanks

DS

Pretty sure the logic here is a bit skewed: https://github.com/OrangeJedi/Aerial/blob/master/app.js#L1118

1. execSync needs to be used if we're not using promises as the callback return won't make it out of that closure.
2. powercfg /requests returns 6 instances of None if there isn't a video playing. The logic in the callback will return true when a video is playing because there are not 6 instances of None in the command output which then will still allow the screensaver to start.

@OrangeJedi are you accepting contributions on this project? I saw there was a PR open for some bugfixes and would be happy to commit my own fixes if you're accepting them.

Good catch! I would happily accept a PR. I haven't accepted any recently because I haven't had time to work on the project, but I hope too soon.

Any progress on a fix for this? Bug is driving me bonkers. Have to keep turning off the SS constantly while watching vids.

bah perhaps this project is abandoned? Too bad it was one of the bet screensaver.
