SUMMARY *** the screen is not inhibited when playing content, in this case it is about online radios (Accuradio). This despite having the system configured to turn off the screen in 3 minutes *** STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. I open the Accuradio online radio service 2. I leave the content playing without doing any activity on the computer 3. Screen is not inhibited even though more than 3 minutes have elapsed OBSERVED RESULT When I play content on some online radio service (in my case, Accuradio), the screen remains on and active despite having the system configured to turn it off in 3 minutes, if it remains in idle status EXPECTED RESULT That when playing content from online radios, the screen is suspended or turned off if there is no activity or input events after 3 minutes. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: 5.24 (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 5.24.1 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.91.0 Qt Version: 5.15.3 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION This error happens in both Firefox and Chrome under Wayland session (I don't use X11/Xorg). A noteworthy fact is that this error did not appear in previous versions of Plasma, including the previous 5.24.0
Does the Battery & Brightness app list any apps inhibiting sleep and screen lock when the webpage plays media? Does it work when you play a video in YouTube? Do you have plasma-browser-integration installed?
(In reply to Nate Graham from comment #1) > Does the Battery & Brightness app list any apps inhibiting sleep and screen > lock when the webpage plays media? I use a desktop PC so I don't see the battery option. As for the power options there is no list of apps > Does it work when you play a video in YouTube? On YouTube, the screen is also not inhibited when playing videos without being in full screen mode > Do you have plasma-browser-integration installed? Yeah, in both google chrome and firefox
is `powerdevil` running? If so, then this is an issue in the browsers themselves not sending the necessary inhibitions.

Yeah, that process is running. However, do a test and this error only occurs under the Wayland session because in X11 it doesn't give that error, the inhibits work correctly in both browsers if you log in under X11
That's strange, it works for me on Wayland.
I believe there's no power management inhibition for audio as discussed in Bug 335729 . On the other hand I can't confirm inhibition not working for videos, it's fine for me on Wayland: - Firefox (Flatpak, no plasma-browser-integration) inhibits power management when the current tab is playing video (not even full screen), but gives up on the inhibition when switching to another tab - mpv inhibits power management when playing a video, but also removes the inhibition when it's minimized
I think there has been some misunderstanding -- reading the original report, inhibit is used to mean "turn off", and the report is about the screen NOT turning off. I cannot reproduce on wayland, git master. With firefox nightly playing music from accuradio, the screen correctly turns off. What browser are you using?
