When I'm watching DVDs with vlc, at regular intervals an OSD popup
appears. It looks similar to the volume popup, but has another icon that
looks like a monitor. The same popup sometimes appears before the
screensaver is activated and after it is deactivated.

In the case of vlc, the popup might be triggered by a periodic event
fired to prevent the screensaver from activating while a video is being
shown.

At any rate, I'd like to get rid of the popup. Does anyone know how to?

Michael

Perhaps you can send a screenshot when this popup appears, in this way it will
be much easier to help you.

To do it just press the PrintScreen key and ksnapshot will appear with the
screenshot, you just have to press the save button.


Best regards,

Josep

That's the brightness control.

Any idea, why it appears when I don't call for it? Event better, how to
stop it doing this?

I have already tried setting the global shortcuts for decrease/increase
brightness to "none", but that didn't help.

Check your hotkey settings for VLC. "Display OSD menu on top of video
output" is Alt+Shift+m, unset as default, "Do not display OSD menu on
video output" is Ctrl+Alt+m, unset as default. You may have
inadvertently set and trigger those.
Also:-
Under "Videos/Subtitles/OSD" try unticking "On Screen Display" and check
that "Overlays"/"On Screen Display Menu" is not ticked.

Cheers

Perhaps is power management lowering your monitor brightness when no activity noted.

Yes, apparently that's what it was. Disabling "Dim Display" in all
relevant power management profiles got rid of the popup.

Thanks everyone.
