I think I was able to reproduce this here finally. Do you have "Span Screen Saver across all monitors" enabled? If so, could you try disabling that and set the Website screen saver on a single monitor to see if that makes any difference? ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/website-as-screen-saver-bug/?ID=663de459-3441-4da2-bbcd-b2c1a86438eb#7 Mon, 06 Mar 2017 21:09:52 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/website-as-screen-saver-bug/?ID=663de459-3441-4da2-bbcd-b2c1a86438eb#7 DisplayFusion I've tried turning it off and on, it doesn't seem to make any difference. I recorded a short video of the screen saver exiting while the page is trying to refresh, or load the new content, or whatever. It's definitely not working on my PC, sadly. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/website-as-screen-saver-bug/?ID=663de459-3441-4da2-bbcd-b2c1a86438eb#6 Mon, 27 Feb 2017 20:20:54 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/website-as-screen-saver-bug/?ID=663de459-3441-4da2-bbcd-b2c1a86438eb#6 DisplayFusion Two of us here tried this out but couldn't reproduce it. In both the website wallpaper and the website screen saver, the TweetDeck site loaded and stayed up after logging in.

In the website screen saver settings, do you have the Refresh option enabled there? ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/website-as-screen-saver-bug/?ID=663de459-3441-4da2-bbcd-b2c1a86438eb#5 Fri, 24 Feb 2017 21:18:50 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/website-as-screen-saver-bug/?ID=663de459-3441-4da2-bbcd-b2c1a86438eb#5 DisplayFusion Thanks, we'll test this out and see what we can find! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/website-as-screen-saver-bug/?ID=663de459-3441-4da2-bbcd-b2c1a86438eb#4 Thu, 23 Feb 2017 21:18:31 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/website-as-screen-saver-bug/?ID=663de459-3441-4da2-bbcd-b2c1a86438eb#4 DisplayFusion Yes, maybe you already do have an account even, the site I'm trying to get is http://tweetdeck.twitter.com/ ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/website-as-screen-saver-bug/?ID=663de459-3441-4da2-bbcd-b2c1a86438eb#3 Thu, 23 Feb 2017 20:49:13 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/website-as-screen-saver-bug/?ID=663de459-3441-4da2-bbcd-b2c1a86438eb#3 DisplayFusion Sure sounds like a bug! I'm not able to reproduce this here, but I may not be testing it correctly. The page that you're using, is it a publicly available site that I could sign up for an account, or something internal? ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/website-as-screen-saver-bug/?ID=663de459-3441-4da2-bbcd-b2c1a86438eb#2 Wed, 22 Feb 2017 00:05:19 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/website-as-screen-saver-bug/?ID=663de459-3441-4da2-bbcd-b2c1a86438eb#2 DisplayFusion Okay I figured out how to do it (Set the page as your wallpaper, enable input and then log in, you can take it off your wallpaper then)

But now I have a bigger problem, seems like a bug in fact.

The page I am trying to set as my screensaver, it recognizes I'm logged in then has a loading image on the center of the page, then does a refresh that loads the same url with different content.

This refresh causes the screensaver to exit, IMMEDIATELY. This makes no sense why activity on the page would be able to count as input or somehow cancel the screen saver and brings me back to the desktop.

So I have a screensaver that flashes a loading page for 1 second, sometimes shows the page I'm trying to load for 1 frame, and then immediately exits back to the desktop.

This HAS to be a bug, I'm hoping it can be fixed... ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/website-as-screen-saver-bug/?ID=663de459-3441-4da2-bbcd-b2c1a86438eb Tue, 21 Feb 2017 22:54:07 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/website-as-screen-saver-bug/?ID=663de459-3441-4da2-bbcd-b2c1a86438eb DisplayFusion I'm trying to use the website screensaver feature but the site I want as my screensaver displays no useful information whatsoever unless you log in first (Like every website that has ever existed)
But as soon as you move the mouse it ends the screensaver. So there is no way to log in. How am I supposed to log in to the page in the same browser as the screensaver? I tried logging in on an IE instance but that doesn't do anything. How do I log in and stay logged in with the website screensaver?

My original question has been answered, but there is still a technical problem (bug) preventing me from doing what I am trying to accomplish. Please see my next post. ]]>
