Description Martin Klapetek 2011-11-24 22:27:23 UTC
When watching video on battery above the warning level, screen inhibition from smplayer/mplayer works fine. However once battery drops below, inhibition from the same player stops working. Restarting player does not help, screen still goes black after the set timeout.
Comment 1 Martin Klapetek 2011-11-24 22:43:44 UTC
One more detail: unchecking "Power management enabled" from the plasmoid does not work either, screen still goes black.
Comment 2 Alex Fiestas 2013-03-12 12:54:23 UTC
Are you still able to reproduce this with 4.9.5 or 4.10? 
Thanks !
Comment 3 Martin Klapetek 2013-03-12 13:01:22 UTC
Screen brightness inhibition stopped working completely for me when using s/mplayer. Not sure if the code in the player changed or if we are at fault.

Will investigate.
Comment 4 Alex Fiestas 2013-04-02 19:50:18 UTC
Up.
Comment 5 Martin Klapetek 2013-04-03 07:56:13 UTC
Update: This bug is still present in 4.10.1.

Screen brightness inhibition is working correctly when above warning battery level, once below, the display dims after the set timeout.
Comment 6 Alex Fiestas 2013-04-03 09:18:52 UTC
Have took a look at the code, it seems to inhibit properly :/

Can you enable anything "powerdevil" in kdebugdialog, restart kded and reproduce the bug?

Thanks !

Add "kded" to this, please (not "7020 kded4" - you might need to logout and back in to get it to show up)

Today I noticed very short flickering while watching a movie and battery level was below the "low battery" point - the brightness went down and then immediately up again in even intervals. The brightness was on 20%, then I manually raised it to 30%. This part of log below is when I was watching a movie in smplayer.

Comment 9 Alex Fiestas 2013-04-12 22:05:12 UTC
You are using Kubuntu, so no systemd for you, why is reporting systemd
stuff?

Ubuntu is implementing some of the systemd api's... maybe we are getting a
false positive somewhere.

Comment 10 Alex Fiestas 2013-07-28 21:38:35 UTC
Can you check if this is still happening with 4.11 ?

The systemd issue should be fixed (so no more false positives o the fake systemd-ubuntu).
Comment 11 Martin Klapetek 2013-07-29 09:50:06 UTC
What I've noticed with 4.11b2 is that below warning level, the brightness bar just appears on the timeout, but the brighntess does not actually change, just the bar shows up.
Comment 12 Martin Klapetek 2013-08-05 10:32:46 UTC
Still happens in 4.10.95 (rc1 I believe).
Comment 13 Andrew Crouthamel 2018-09-04 15:45:32 UTC
Hello! Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but this project has been unmaintained for many years so I am closing this bug. Please try again with the latest version and submit a new bug to frameworks-solid if your issue persists. Thank you!
