Hard drive spin down & screensaver

  • hi,

    i've noticed on the latest builds i have done from the cvs repositry that when i select any other screensaver other than a blank screen, the hard drive will not spin down (i have it set to spin down after 20 mins).

    if i select a blank screensaver, all is well.

    comments?

  • >>what cvs are you currently using?

    not sure what you mean exactly. i do a cvs checkout from /cvsroot/xbmc on sourceforge and then build it.

    >>what xbox/modchip/bios/hdd configuration are you running?

    can't remember these details exactly as it's been so long since i modded it (haven't opened the xbox since!). i remember its a chameleon modchip. the xbox is version 1.4 i think. standard hard drive.

    may well just have to live with a blank screen saver as i don't want my hard drive spinning 24 hours a day!


  • probably not much help, but the hdd spins down for me -i've spent quite a while recently watching games of asteroids and pong and the hdd definatly spins down.

    the annoying problem i have is that the screen saver refuses to engage for me, unless i preview it manually.... but hey ho, i'm living with it.
    (please dont reply to this issue, i might post it as a new thread after reaserching it a bit, or if you replicate it, start the thread yourself).

    what cvs are you currently using?
    what xbox/modchip/bios/hdd configuration are you running?


  • well since some screensaver read from disk this could be just normal..


  • well i use the matrix one, and it used to spin down correctly. now it just spins forever.
