I have a 24/7 cast that I run from my office, just a webcam+screengrab (cseweb.ucsd.edu/~jmcauley/ if you're curious). Setup seems to work great and has been running for a few weeks now.
However, I can't put my monitor into standby mode while the cast is running, since OBS (presumably deliberately) disables the screensaver and DPMS settings. I can try to go into standby manually (i.e., "xset dpms force off"), but the screen turns back on after a few seconds. I've tried various solutions to manipulate the dpms setting, but whenever the monitor goes into standby it just turns itself back on again 1-10 seconds later.
Is there any way to stop OBS from disabling the screensaver, or at least allowing me to manually put the monitor into standby mode?
Thanks!
