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

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.
