Keep streaming when display sleeps

[cblockus]

It's cool that there are options to play and pause playback during all kinds of scenarios in the hermes preferences, but I'm confused why there isn't one to keep playback GOING during a display sleep scenario. I use my mac as an audio source with Pandora and airfoil around my house constantly, control the audio with airfoil satellite, and always put the display to sleep. The problem with this is that you can't play/pause and switch tracks with Safari in Airfoil satellite. Hermes is the perfect solution...except now the audio stops every time my display sleeps! I can understand having the audio stop every time the ENTIRE SYSTEM sleeps, but please please please can somebody tell me how to keep Hermes playing with the display sleeps?

I feel like it did not use to do this. It's even worse on my computer—Hermes crashes when it reaches the end of a song after the display goes to sleep. When I wake it up, the app is no longer running.

I have both of these problems. Ideally, Hermes playing audio would keep the system from falling asleep.

Well, I should have looked in Hermes's settings before to see the checkbox that says "Pause when screen locks." It appears that setting is not being honored.
