Description Wyatt Childers 2022-12-13 17:19:43 UTC
SUMMARY
Moonlight while playing a game sends inhibition signals to prevent monitor sleep (which is reported by power management in the status tray), however, if playing a game with a controller, monitors go to sleep.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open moonlight
2. Play a game on a remote PC using a controller

OBSERVED RESULT
The monitors go to sleep as if no activity has been detected.

EXPECTED RESULT
The monitors stay on.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

I *think* this started with 5.26, but I can't be sure.

Moonlight requires two computers, so this might be hard to test. It's probably better to do whatever they're doing which appears to be power inhibition via SDL https://github.com/moonlight-stream/moonlight-qt/blob/411998d4e39f11ce6d3d8fc60657b699b19d5dd1/app/streaming/session.cpp#L1575
