There is an option in what is called heartbeat-cmd in MPlayer, which calls the command every half minute. I wrote a script that appears to be pressing the shift key, using the command xdotool. I called it "shiftpress". Script:
nice -n 1 xdotool key shift Then I set the option heartbeat-cmd in file ~ /.mplayer /config: heartbeat-cmd="shiftpress" During movie playback MPlayer will run the script "shiftpress". Command xdotool emulates shift press and the screensaver is deferred. -- Mplayer -stop-xscreensaver doesn't work with gnome-screensaver https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/6620 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
