SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: Arch Linux KDE Plasma Version: 5.16.2 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.59.0 Qt Version: 5.13.0
Created attachment 121535 [details] Works for me Works for me with everything from Git master. Does it still happen on Neon unstable?
I can't reproduce with elisa 0.4.2 on another distribution called Void. Elisa also suppresses the power management on my Neon unstable edition.
Does Void use the unreleased Plasma 5.17 already?
(In reply to Nate Graham from comment #3) > Does Void use the unreleased Plasma 5.17 already? No. It uses Plasma 5.16.3.
Strange. Still, this seems like it's an Arch-specific packaging or configuration issue, since it works elsewhere. I would encourage you to report it to the Arch folks. Thanks!
Reported to Arch folks https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/63219 Comment from Antonio Rojas: "Apparently this is only implemented in the vlc backend, which we don't use https://cgit.kde.org/elisa.git/commit/?id=a44ad7b412674800ad43beb587011515b509d837 Please ask upstream to enable this for the qtmultimedia backend too"
