After updating to KDE 6 playing videos, on youtube, VLC, etc. no longer counts as activity, and my screen gets turned off as per my inactivity settings in the Energy Saving settings.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Update to KDE neon 6 using discover
2. Reinstalling plasma-desktop and other dependencies as per https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=481988
3. Adding files to /usr/share/dbus-1/services/ as per https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=481938, https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=481940

OBSERVED RESULT
Screen turns of after a set time period even though I'm watching a video.

EXPECTED RESULT
Screen will not turn off if I'm watching a video.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Comment 1 Patrick Silva 2024-03-01 14:24:05 UTC

Cannot reproduce on Arch Linux by playing a video with VLC, Haruna, SMPlayer and Vivaldi browser.

Operating System: Arch Linux 
KDE Plasma Version: 6.0.0
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.0.0
Qt Version: 6.6.2
Graphics Platform: Wayland

Comment 2 Nate Graham 2024-03-01 21:13:54 UTC

Also cannot reproduce on Fedora 39 with Plasma 6 built from source on top of it. Can you update Neon and try again? There were some packaging glitches with the initial 6.0 release that might account for this.

Comment 3 jmeron1991 2024-03-02 18:05:16 UTC

My system is up to date according to pkcon.

I'm using X11 as my graphics platform if that makes a difference.

Comment 4 Patrick Silva 2024-03-03 18:16:17 UTC

Can reproduce on X11. Despite the power management applet says that VLC is blocking sleep and screen locking, the screen becomes black during playback. The mouse pointer remains visible.

Comment 8 Alyx 2024-03-10 20:55:37 UTC

I can also reproduce this on X11. In the battery and brightness applet it says that multiple apps are blocking sleep and locking but it still turns off the screen while watching videos.
I'll try switching to a Wayland session soon to confirm whether it happens there as well.

Comment 17 Philippe ROUBACH 2024-03-15 21:47:38 UTC

Also, manually blocking does not work.

Comment 18 Jakob Petsovits 2024-03-15 22:36:27 UTC

(In reply to Philippe ROUBACH from comment #17)
> Also, manually blocking does not work.

Given that this is marked RESOLVED FIXED, anyone still commenting on things that do not work, please also mention whether you've already upgraded to 6.0.2 which contains that fix.
