Sounds like the VLC folks need to call UpdateSystemActivity to keep the
machine from thinking that there is nothing going on:

That said, there are apps to prevent a machine from going to sleep so
you could use one of them when you have VLC running. I haven't tried
these but common ones are:

http://www.sticksoftware.com/software/Jiggler.html
http://www.alxsoft.com/mac/sleepless.html
There are lots of others out there if you google around.

There is a setting in energy saver that says prevent computer from sleeping
when the display is off. I am not sure if that would solve the problem that you
are having with VLC or not.

Ok, that's just it, I don't want it to do that, considering the fact that it's
going to be more of an energy hog when I'm not using it, so figured if there
were a way to prevent having to do that and let vlc run in the background when
it was still in sleep mode, that would be great. Itunes doesn't have that
issue, so have no idea what's causing vlc to act up like that.

To stop you're computer from going in to sleep.
First go to system preferences.
Next go to energy saver.
Next tab to the slider and then to make the computer stay awake longer move
the slider to the right.

I've noticed lately that when I have vlc running, it does this annoying thing
where it loves to pause about 10 minuttes or so after my computer goes to
sleep, which is really ffrustrating, because I have to constantly stop what I'm
doing to wake my computer up and unpause it. Does anyone know anything short
of not allowing my computer to go into sleep mode, which I really don't want,
that can remmody this?
