My confusion came from that I don't use a separate screensaver just GDM/Gnome shell and don't have those options directly. I don't use Wayland because of NVIDIA optimus and stuff, but it might not be relevant here anyway. Yes, I agree about the application support, I reached out to Spotify about this question, but would be great if someone could point me to some API other apps like Totem use to suspend power management when something is playing.

No, I meant the setting in the screensaver itself. It separates into three timers under 'Display Power Management': Standby after xxx minutes Suspend after xxx minutes Off after xxx minutes But, I see now that it is Xscreensaver, and in Gnome you will be using Wayland. Also, it doesn't meet your requirement that it happen only when the display is being used. So, it wouldn't meet your needs, and, as Rex said, you need to somehow gain that ability for your application. ___ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org

I think you mean this setting: $ gsettings describe org.gnome.desktop.session idle-delay The number of seconds of inactivity before the session is considered idle. Yeah, I guess I could use that to disable the screen saver, but was thinking about something that would work automatically and inhibit it only when the music is playing through HDMI for example. I have this functionality with video players, e.g. Totem would prevent turning off the monitor when I play a video on it. I am looking for this functionality for music players and wondering if Spotify has a way to do this. - Robert ___ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org

Yes, there's a well-known API to inhibit power-management for media players. What application are you using to play audio? For example, I know that vlc supports the api for when video is playing, but apparently not for audio-only unfortunately.

Prevent turning off external monitor when playing audio though HDMI
Hi everyone, I have an external monitor connected via HDMI which has better sounding speakers than the internal ones. Sometimes I leave the machine idle while keep playing audio on it, but shortly after the lock screen kicks the external monitor is turned off (power saving I guess) and the audio switches back to the internal speakers. I use Fedora Workstation 31, Gnome 3.34.1, PulseAudio 13.0, Kernel 5.3.11. Does anyone know about a way to prevent turning off the external monitor when audio is being played through the HDMI port? I would still like to have the lock screen, even blanking it, but without turning it off and keep using the external monitor speakers. Currently I use Spotify from Flathub for playing music and when I make a break and leave the music on, after few minutes it switches back to the internal speakers, that have worse quality especially if I am away from the machine. I have seen this same question raised in other forums [1][2][3], but couldn't see solutions, so wanted to try to ask here in case anyone knows a way to deal with this.

Thanks, Mike Wright Dumb question - did you select HDMI as your default audio output, or as the output for the program you are trying to play? Or did you select the option to have audio go to both devices? On my system, it defaulted to going just to the sound card. One other thing - I remember having to set up a special loopback to get an analog input to the sound card to go to the HDMI sound output, but I can not remember how I did it right now. The audio part of my monitor died, and I had to go back to a set of speakers off the sound card. (Hardware problem - it does not work with the analog input either.)
