While watching a video podcast the screen goes dark but the padcast continues after a fixed time interval.
How do i disable the screen saver?

Hmm, has this always happened, or is it just the new version that's doing it?

I am running V3.0.1

I just started a trial so don't have any history to go on but it only happens on video files, the screen goes black
but the audio continues.But it seems to be intermittent and when it does occur, my BB is not immediately responsive
as the space bar doesn't stop the playback. So it may be related to something else. I am kind of low on app memory - only 8MB left. I will keep an eye on it and see if I can pinpoint when it occurs.

I probably should have posted this in the Bugs section.

The screen blanker is definitely kicking in during video podcasts and is reproduceable.
Not a real big deal but an annoyance. I'm running verion 5 of the OS and the latest Podtrapper version.

My BB Storm 1 always drove me crazy going to blank screen on apps I wanted to keep visible (Like BB Maps or BB Messenger or PT). I strongly recommend a great little app called Leave It On from shao-soft.com. It's only .3mb of memory usage but it allows you to set up a list of apps to Leave On when they are running or you can just hit the BB button and Leave It On will be on the Menu for any app you are running. You click on Leave It On from there and the app stays up and will not go dark until you stop that particular app. There are a variety of settings as well, like "allow blank screen if battery is below xx %", etc.

Hmm, well ideally I'd like PodTrapper to keep the screen on itself. I'll look into it, see if I'm missing something.
