Description Jon Skanes 2010-06-28 15:35:36 UTC 
Version:           unspecified (using Devel) 
OS:                Linux

Please add an option to disable screen saver and screen power management while playing a video.

Reproducible: Always

Yes, this is really an annoying issue.
Comment 4 Testor 2010-11-05 12:05:40 UTC 
Same problem using KDE SC 4.5.3
For my part, the black screen is not due to the screensaver but to the screen power management.

I performed the following tests :
1. Forcing screensaver to activate after 1 minute => No black screen problem
2. Forcing power manager to activate after 1 minute => Black screen appears after 1 minute.
3. Disabling power management => No black screen problem

Reproducible: Always


Is it possible to allow futur versions of Dragon Player to force the power manager to disable when a film is playing ?

Meanwhile it is possible to disable manually the power management in "System Settings/Power Management/Modify the profile" by unchecking the following option : "Activate the screen power management"

SVN commit 1217597 by sitter:

Also supress screen power management when watching a film.
Please note that this currently does not seem to work on 4.6 as powerdevil does not seem to actually trigger the appropriate action.
