Bug ID: 381160 Summary: Battery plasmoid does not show a notification that an application is inhibiting screenlock when it uses xdg-screensaver to do so Product: plasmashell Version: 5.10.1 Platform: Archlinux Packages OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: NOR Component: Battery Monitor Assignee: k...@privat.broulik.de Reporter: kishor...@gmail.com CC: plasma-b...@kde.org Target Milestone: 1.0 Created attachment 106078 --> https://bugs.kde.org/attachment.cgi?id=106078&action=edit Screenshot showing the message expected Some media players (e.g. VLC) inhibit power management when a video is being played. In such instances, a notification (see attached screenshot) is shown in the 'battery and brightness' plasmoid that the application is disabling power management. MPV media player calls xdg-screensaver to inhibit the lockscreen (See https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/issues/3801 ), and when it does so, it is able to inhibit suspend, but there is no message to that effect in the battery and brightness plasmoid. Steps to reproduce: Play a video in mpv. Actual result: Power management is inhibited (one can check this by playing a video after setting the screenlock timeout to, for e.g., 1 min), but the 'battery and brightness' plasmoid does not show any message informing the user of this. Expected result: The battery and brightness plasmoid should show a message even for applications which call xdg-screensaver to inhibit power management. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
