Description Maxx Twayne 2008-08-09 22:03:02 UTC

In my gui.conf for gmplayer, i set the stopxscreensaver = "yes" to stop xscreensaver. 
It used to work, but it's no longer working.

I can avoid this by killing xscreensaver before using gmplayer.

Reproducible: Always

Actual Results:  
xscreensaver starts after a few minutes of media playing without using the computer.

Expected Results:  
The xscreensaver should be disabled while playing media.

Comment 1 Slava Gorbunov 2008-08-13 15:46:12 UTC

"plain" mplayer doesn't stop xscreensaver, too. I've tried to specify 'stop-xscreensaver' in .mplayer/config, /etc/mplayer/mplayer.conf, and on command line without any effect. Both versions 1.0_rc2_p26753-r1 and 1.0_rc2_p27120 built with USE=xscreensaver have this bug.

Comment 2 Renato Alves 2008-10-08 21:21:44 UTC

I will also add 1.0_rc2_p27458 to the list of non working versions.

I have the same problem here with plain mplayer. Neither setting the option in the config file, nor -stop-xscreensaver on start works.

mplayer has +xscreensaver flag
current xscreensaver version 5.05.

Now testing media-video/mplayer-1.0_rc2_p27725-r1 and x11-misc/xscreensaver-5.07

Comment 3 dnw.ftw 2008-10-18 13:18:52 UTC

Still not working with the following packages:

media-video/mplayer-1.0_rc2_p27725-r1
x11-misc/xscreensaver-5.07

mplayer does indeed claim to detect the xscreensaver API's during configure, but it says nothing about xscreensaver when launching mplayer with -stop-xscreensaver, even with -v -v (and the screenserver kicks in after awhile, with mplayer not paused.)

Note: I did compile mplayer with the xscreensaver USE-flag.

Comment 4 Samuli Suominen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev

This is an upstream issue. MPlayer now insists that screensavers use XSuspendScreensaver or XResetScreensaver, which xscreensaver apparently doesn't. Specialized support for screensavers not using these methods has been dropped from recent MPlayer versions.

See -heartbeat-cmd in mplayer(1) for a workaround.

For reference from http://www.jwz.org/xscreensaver/faq.html#dvd
If you are using a recent version of MPlayer, put this in your ~/.mplayer/config file:

heartbeat-cmd="xscreensaver-command -deactivate"
