How to prevent playing video to ignore screensaver policy

Our company policy is to make the screensaver (with password) active after 5 minutes. This works fine.
But some employes found out to bypass the policy by playing a video in a loop.
How can we deal with these retards?

Block Media Player and VLC :)
Nah - kidding... You cannot. If the player software is screen saver
aware, the screen saver will not kick in because the computer is not idle.
You could check if a scheduled task "when the computer is idle" will
overcome this, but I doubt. The task then would run "rundll32.exe" with
parameters "user32.dll,LockWorkStation"

  • How do I play video from my macbook pro to my tv?

    How do I play video from my macbook pro to my tv?

    What model MacBook Pro do you have? On my late 2011, I used to use a Mini DisplayPort/Thunderbolt to HDMI adapter to get video and audio from my Mac to my television. I used this adapter from Monoprice. Worked great - I just no longer use it because I bought a 27" monitor.
    You can also use AirPlay mirroring if you've the right MBP and an Apple TV - but the wired method works, too.

  • How do I play videos from an SD_Video card?

    How do I play videos from an SD_Video card?

    Click on the SD card that appears on your desktop until you get to the DCIM folder.  Click on folder until you get to the movie files.  Drag these files onto your desktop.  You can erase the ones on your SD card if you do not want to same them on there.
    Depending on the movie file types you should be able to play them w/either QT 10, QT 7.x or VLC.  It helps to have Perian installed.
    Also, helps if you would advise us which OS is installed on your MBP and which model MBP you have.  Some come w/a built-in SD slot, others you will need a card reader.

  • How do I play Video music in Flash player 11 when it is not my default player in Windows 7 Professio

    I have downloaded Adobe Flash Player 11 on my computer. I am running Windows 7 professional operating system. I have some video music files and would like to run them in Flash and not Windows Media Player. How can I do this.

    Flash isn't used as a stand alone media player.  You'll need to find a web based application that can load your media files and then play them for you.  However, that seems a round about way for playing videos on a local system.  Have you tried an alternative such as VLC?

    What videos do you mean? The PSE tutorial videos? Videos you made in Premiere Elements? Your question isn't clear, particularly not how this relates to photoshop elements. Can you explain in a little more detail just what you want to do and how it pertains to photoshop elements?

  • How can I play video/audio to an AV Receiver?

    I have my iMac connected to a Denon AV receiver and the properties of the AV receiver show up under display properties in system preferences. I have the obtion to mirror the display but when I do, nothing comes through on my home theatre system.
    I just cannot figure out how to get the video and audio to play on it now.
    The Denon is connected via a mini display port/HDMI cable.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Not sure I fully understand the problem.  Does it not work when you take it out of mirrored and run the two displays in extended display mode (use Arrangment to arrange the two monitors)?  Of course you need to chang your Sound preferences to use the hdmi conneciton as well.

  • How can I play video by touching the button on the video thumbnail ?

    I have a table view in which if each cell is touched a video plays.
    Each cell have image of the video cell.imageView.image. And on the image I have a button (UIButton) with play symbol.
    If I touch the play button the corresponding video should be played same like the when cell is touched.
    I have a selector for the play button. But how can I know that particular row is selected by touching the play button. How can I play the video when I touched the button ?
    Thank You

    Check the hardware acceleration mode you have set. Try to use "direct" acceleration as this will choose between GPU and CPU to render and is most compatible. The setting is in the XML file generated for the app:
    <!-- The render mode for the app (either auto, cpu, gpu, or direct). Optional. Default auto -->
    <renderMode>direct</renderMode>
    And no the device is absolutely not guaranteed to record compatible video at all. Browsers go by browser standards and video recording goes via manufacturer hardware and software limits, features and compatibility. It entirely depends on what you're doing with the video and the mode it is recorded in. If the user checks off the record CIF MMS compatible video and records in that it will not be visible to many browsers. Audio is almost always recorded in ultra-light mp3 or aac so that's why you hear it.
    Android allows you to install many different browsers. Did you install any or set any other browser as the alternate default browser? When you run the video from a file manager you may be running an alternate, capable browser for the codec. AIR may use the native built-in browser. Also it may not load the video into a browser for playback at all as I would suspect a video would be mapped to the devices default media player and not a browser at all. Unless you're able to select the video and explicitly tell it to open in a browser I feel you're actually looking at the video in the "Video" app of your device, which will be compatible with the codec.
    A simple way to check browser compatibility is to copy the video to your computer, upload it to a web server and see how it plays on various desktop browsers. If any of them have black video and only play sound, you know it's a codec issue.

  • HT5295 How do I play video podcasts on my TV via the Podcasts app? After iOS 6 upgrade, I'm unable to do this.

    I used to be able to play video podcasts on my TV by connecting my iPod touch to the TV via an Apple AV cable.  Now that I've upgraded to ios 6 and the podcasts app got installed along with the upgrade, video podcasts will no longer play on my TV.  It should be noted that other video content (movies, TV shows, etc) will play properly.  Is there a setting I need to make that will fix this, or is this yet another bug with the podcasts app? Also, I have to say that I'm not happy at all with the Podcasts app, so if there's a way to uninstall it without harming the functionality of ios 6, that would be great. 

    I found a workaround that puts podcasts back in the video app as well as the music app so you can watch them on TV via an AV cable again.
    The instructions can be found at this video:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uaI9GwPKXkE
    In short:
    1. Make sure both the music and podcast app aren't running on your iPhone.
    2. Plug your iPhone into your computer and disable Podcast syncing for your iPhone in iTunes.
    3. Remove the podcast app from your iPhone
    4. Plug your iPhone into your computer again and turn on podcast syncing, then sync.
    5. Turn off and then back on your iPhone.
    After I did this, I found podcasts had returned to being listed in my music and video apps.
    Hope this helps you too!
