GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 676903
Inhibit screensaver during fullscreen playback (XFCE)
Last modified: 2020-03-17 09:26:13 UTC
When watching a video in banshee, watching fullscreen does not disable the screensaver. I understand earlier versions of Banshee did disable the screensaver during fullscreen playback. Why did this go away?
Which distribution and version is this about?
Thank you for your bug report. If this is happening with GNOME 3, then it is a duplicate of bug #646499.
My distribution is Xubuntu 12.04, so it does not use GNOME 3, but Xfce 4.
Thanks
An additional note: after running Banshee in the terminal for a different bug, I noticed Banshee does alert that it is inhibiting screen savers during fullscreen playback - so the program THINKS it's working, even though it must be having some sort of compatibility issue with xfce 4.
Banshee is not under active development anymore and had its last code changes more than three years ago. Its codebase has been archived. Closing this report as WONTFIX as part of Bugzilla Housekeeping to reflect reality. Please feel free to reopen this ticket (or rather transfer the project to GNOME Gitlab, as GNOME Bugzilla is being shut down) if anyone takes the responsibility for active development again.
