My monitor turns off when I play videos using mpv on Arch under plasma 5.11.1 Wayland session. I just reported this problem to mpv devs, they said that kwin should support idle-inhibit-unstable-v1 protocol. https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/issues/5015#event-1301439138
KWayland side: https://phabricator.kde.org/D8396 KWin side will follow once it's merged. I didn't expect any application to use this interface. I personally consider it a step backwards from the DBus based inhibitions we have and which are much more fine grained.
Git commit 9520c2f292d0ac7bae98e96b9e067dfa25cb828f by Martin Flöser. Committed on 16/11/2017 at 19:22. Pushed by graesslin into branch 'master'. Add support for zwp_idle_inhibit_manager_v1 Summary: This protocol allows to indicate that a wl_surface should inhibit idle actions such as DPMS, screen locking if the surface is visible. The protocol is quite simple: it just creates an IdleInhibitor for a Surface. If such an IdleInhibitor exists the Surface is considered to inhibit idle. On the server side it is also exposed like that through the API. The IdleInhibitorInterface is private to the library and only SurfaceInterface is extended to expose whether it currently inhibits idle.

Git commit ff2e8834694a478519f342ecc02bb2e307e87769 by Martin Flöser. Committed on 30/11/2017 at 20:51. Pushed by graesslin into branch 'master'. Add support for new IdleInhibition protocol Summary: A small helper class is added which manages inhibiting idle for the ShellClients. So far only very basic functionality is added. That is only the inhibition on the Surface is followed. It is not yet checked whether the ShellClient is visible at all. That needs some changes in ShellClient.
