How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Turn on the power saver display turn off function
2. Start to play a video with mplayer
  
Actual results:
The display is turning off after the pre-setted time.

Expected results:
It doesn't turning off.

Additional info:
Mplayer version: MPlayer 29092-4.4.0

Comment 1 Richard Hughes 2009-08-20 11:59:09 UTC

mplayer needs to inhibit the session -- otherwise gnome-power-manager has no idea what's going on.

Comment 2 Kieran Clancy 2009-10-26 12:31:05 UTC

mplayer calls XScreenSaverSuspend when it starts playing, which inhibits a standard xscreensaver-compatible screensaver from running, but gnome-screensaver uses it's own system for other technical reasons.

I think it would be good if it could support applications that use XScreenSaverSuspend though, see comment 2 on <https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=416429>.
