Description Juan Simón 2020-03-03 14:33:15 UTC 
When Elisa plays music doesn't allow the monitor to be turned off.
Elisa is a music player so I don't understand why it inhibits the energy saving settings I have configured.
I understand that it does not allow the equipment to be suspended or turned off but the monitor being turned off does not prevent the music from continuing to play.

Yeah, it's possible to inhibit system sleep but not display sleep/dimming. Elisa should do that.

In my opinion at the very least, an audio player should not be inhibiting screen locking.

Hmm... I can't reproduce it. My laptop screen is still turned off while the music is playing, sleep is inhibited.

I am using the latest git version. Am I missing anything here?

Are you sure, or did you just read the label in battery monitor? It will always say "screen locking" because it doesn't know what inhibition an app exactly requested.

I also can't reproduce on neon unstable.
The screen of my laptop is turned off during playback.
Comment 7 Victoria 2021-05-01 12:40:36 UTC 
Yes, it was based on the description from the battery monitor applet. Sorry.
Comment 8 Nate Graham 2021-05-01 13:51:46 UTC 
Ah, we should make the text show the specific inhibitions rather than a generic message.
