I have an annoying problem, maybe someone has a solution. Is there a way for XBMC to disable DPMS when viewing a movie? I have to disable DPMS manually each time, it's annoying.
For now you could perhaps use this:

org.gnome.PowerManager.setDpmsMode
string:on
You would need to bake in that command into a script that sends that command every X seconds. Im not that good on bash so I cant help you there.

I posted in the XBMC Feature Suggestions discussion forum. Let's see how it does.
You could start a feature request trac ticket for this, maybe it will make it to 9.04 :)
