We already use the power manager service to create a "screen" wake lock to disable the screen saver in HTMLVideoElement::WakeLockUpdate(), but the wake lock listener that actually disables the screen saver is only implemented for B2G and I think Android, but not on other platforms.
I have a patch in Bug 968603 to implement a wake lock listener on Windows, so we'll disable the screensaver on Windows during video playback. To fix this on other platforms, we'll need to add wake lock listeners for them too. I suggest we use this bug to track when support for Mac, Linux, and Windows (and Android if it hasn't already) have all landed. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/434476 Title: screensaver starts while playing HTML5 videos To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/firefox/+bug/434476/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
