Public bug reported: I installed mpv player from APT repository. It was working fine but from last week I have been experiencing this issue. The issue is: Screen gets locked while watching video.
Normally, this should not have happened. But something has gone wrong. Video continue to play in background but to watch it I need to unlock the screen. Something is triggering to lock the screen while playing any movies/videos, which is very weird. Let me know if you need more output to resolve this issue. suraj@surtoshwi ~> mpv --version mpv 0.32.0 Copyright © 2000-2020 mpv/MPlayer/mplayer2 projects built on UNKNOWN ffmpeg library versions: libavutil 56.31.100 libavcodec 58.54.100 libavformat 58.29.100 libswscale 5.5.100 libavfilter 7.57.100 libswresample 3.5.100 ffmpeg version: 4.2.4-1ubuntu0.1 ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 20.04 Package: mpv 0.32.0-1ubuntu1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 5.4.0-47.51-generic 5.4.55 Uname: Linux 5.4.0-47-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: zfs zunicode zavl icp zcommon znvpair ApportVersion: 2.20.11-0ubuntu27.8 Architecture: amd64 CasperMD5CheckResult: skip CurrentDesktop: ubuntu:GNOME Date: Thu Sep 17 13:18:02 2020 InstallationDate: Installed on 2020-04-24 (145 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 20.04 LTS "Focal Fossa" - Release amd64 (20200423) SourcePackage: mpv UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) ** Affects: mpv (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Confirmed ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug focal -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1895941 Title: Screen lock after some minutes while playing vidoes from mpv player.
