GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 423538
Power-manager plugin
Last modified: 2018-05-24 12:28:32 UTC
The current power-manager patch in Rhythmbox forbids going to sleep when Rhythmbox is playing. Peter Jones (CC:'ed) wrote this (hacky by his own admission) plugin: http://people.redhat.com/pjones/rhythmbox-pm.tar.bz2 that will pause playback when going to sleep, and restart when waking up. I prefer the latter option, which should be the default, unless Rhythmbox is in fullscreen (fullscreen visualisation, that is what Totem does), or in "Party" mode.
Actually my version doesn't restart -- I originally had it doing that, but quickly I found that I was usually didn't want playback to automatically restart on resume. At least with my usage pattern of listening through headphones at one place, suspending, and then resuming in a different (often public) location, it can actually be somewhat embarrassing on occasion.
I've made the power-manager not be builtin and disabled by default in Fedora, as I've had reports of the behaviour not being appreciated.
