Hi,
I have task (log off - sleep) that is triggering when computer is idle .
I don't want this task to activate if video is playing (XBMC, VLC, Youtube and simmilar).
I couldn't find how to do this anywhere.
Please help!

There is no universal mechanism.
For example: for VLC player you can check the existence of VLC.EXE process in memory
Like in this example:
Code: Select all

For YouTube you can check the existence the window with word
YouTube
and etc.

Thanks for the quick answer!
This is to complicated, to many possible programs.
Is it possible for robotask not to only monitor mouse and keyboard activity but also low power blocking that some programs use to prevent system to enter low power states?
I think that this would be great feature.
Also power off monitor would be great as log off option.

Look at the another one variant of the task (see below)
I think that this is not very complicated.
You can just add necessary process into the list in step #2 (Text loop)
Code: Select all
