Sorry, that's the opposite of your problem :) Back on topic with this bug...
I don't know what API(s) are being used by the browser to disable video playback, but there are only a few probable options: (a) The API is different between telling Unity7 and Gnome Shell to not blank, and Chrome doesn't support the latter; or (b) The API is different between telling Unity7 and Gnome Shell to not blank, and Chrome does support both but gnome-shell is ignoring it; or (c) The API is the same for both Unity7 and Gnome Shell, and gnome-shell is ignoring it. So yeah, in both (b) and (c) we would need a gnome-shell task. But there are many possible reasons as to why this is broken. Needs more research. ** This bug is no longer a duplicate of bug 1692762 [screensaver] Screen never blanks in Gnome Shell when using LightDM -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1697373 Title: Do not dim/lock the screen when a video is playing To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chromium-browser/+bug/1697373/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
