Regression: Energy Saver turns off display when VLC is started from command line and/or input is the pipe

Replication steps:

  1. Pipe a file to VLC from the command line.

Result:

  • The computer display turns off while VLC is playing the video. (The timeout interval can be configured in Energy Saver.)

Expected:

  • The computer display does not turn off while VLC is playing any video.

OS X 10.10.2, VLC 2.2.0. This is a regression from VLC 2.1.5. First reported on the forum.
