What do you mean with "screen activate"? It is off/black and turns on?

How do you "checkout next music"?

Does this happen with one particular music player or other players as well?

I mean .. 
"screen activate" -> computer monitor activation
"checkout next music" -> Switch to next music

Yes, I have tested my usual music player(by electron) and mpv player, I think this happens with all other player.

Need to be corrected, I tested other music players and everything worked fine. So this happen with one particular music player.

In order to be compatible with different situations, this problem still needs to be fixed.
One way is to give the user the option of turning the monitor on and off to reactivate the monitor when playing a different media source.

Chromium browser for Electron, and (https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv) not fine.
(https://github.com/videolan/vlc) is OK.

You can test this by open a browser and play some music in the list from web page.
