You can turn off one by one services to see which services have problems, or tell us a list of your services so that we can help fix this issue @opb1978

yogasw commented 2 years ago

by the way ferdium does not have an indicator of which service rotates the media or causes it not to allow sleep I usually wear nosleep.js so that the chrome does not sleep, it also does not play the media so there are several factors that make ferdium not allow sleep

slano commented 2 years ago

Upgraded to 6.0.1-nightly.10, seems the problem is not present anymore.

The only service I have the same as @opb1978 is Whatsapp (together with Telegram and Discord)

Sorry to necro this one ... This seems to be still an issue,

Ferdium 6.2.0 Arch linux X11

Services found causing issues:

Tweeter, No media playing. Facebook messenger, No Media playing

Edit:

Just found out that aparently any service that plays media can cause this, if you play the video and simply pause it. Verified this behavior on Facebook.

System was going to sleep. Played a video on facebook, Paused it. System not going to sleep anymore.

Edit 2:

Simply disabling the service doesn't keep ferdium from preventing computer to go to sleep.
Reloading Ferdium after disabling the service still prevents computer from going to sleep
Had to quit and re-open Ferdium.
Confirmed behavior once again this time on slack after playing and pausing a video on a link to youtube.

The problem with this services is their behavior tends to be quite unpredictable and to start playing stuff automatically without user even knowing (Specialy if audio is muted. As far as i could find they lack any option to "Not auto play".

Wonder if its possible to prevent this behavior by default and have an option that lets users decide if they want ferdium to prevent sleeping when its playing media.

please let me know if you need more details or want me to open another issue.

Some more insight and digging, This behavior also happens on Wayland both with gnome and sway.

Suspect this is tied with electron itself as i have tried the slack app and manage to reproduce this running the slack application as well.

This is as far as my knowledge goes, hope it helps and provides any valuable information.

The behavior above was being verified with the aur ferdium-bin package. This seems not to be happening with the aur ferdium-electron package.

I encountered the same issue today and found a way to reproduce it with some consistency on MacOS.

Open Ferdium and disable all services. Quit Ferdium.
Restart Ferdium. So far Ferdium is not preventing sleep.
Enable the Slack Service. Log in on a free account during Slack trial period.
Within the Slack window open the "free trial in progress" channel. This window displays several animations. Wait 5 seconds. Ferdium is now preventing sleep.
As long as you keep this channel open, Ferdium will prevent sleep on MacOS. Even switching to other services or restarting ferdium won't change this.
But... as soon as you change the channel in Slack (for example to #general). Ferdium does not prevent sleep anymore.

Here is the content preventing sleep. I'm not sure what inside is causing Ferdium to prevent sleep.

I have the same issue. Currently I am using the services below. By activating one service at a time I found out that Messenger (Facebook) was causing the issue. I deactivated the service for now.

SERVICES Slack Whatsapp Messenger LinkedIn Google Keep
