[Bug?] Player does not prevent monitor from getting switched off in Arch Linux #37

Closed DanteIgashu closed 2 years ago

DanteIgashu commented 3 years ago

Hello! 😄 In Arch Linux, using Kernel 5.12.9-arch1-1 (64 bit), and KDE Plasma 5.22.0 with QT version 5.82.0, and Motionbox 1.7.0.0, the player does not prevent the monitor from getting switched off (power save configuration set to 5 minutes), so I have to be moving the mouse or pressing a key every once in a while to prevent that from happening. I am guessing it is just a missing instruction in the configuration file, maybe? THANKS in advance and great app, I like it! 😄

Thanks for reporting this, that's actually an issue. I'll look into it.

Yes, I did, I even checked on Windows just to be sure that it wasn't a general issue, but no, it just happens on linux. I also noticed other issue on linux, but I guess I will open a new report for that one, but before that, I am gonna check on another computer just to be sure and also have a better idea of what's happening. THANKS for the reply! : D

Could you try one of these artifacts: https://dev.azure.com/bunjee/MotionBox/_build/results?buildId=3231&view=artifacts&pathAsName=false&type=publishedArtifacts ?

Done, I tried "MotionBox-linux64-qt5", I was able to try the "normal" and "full" screen modes, and the problem seems to be gone in the "artifact" version. Was gonna try all the screen modes, but, for a reason or reasons I ignore, after using the "artifact" version, none, neither my installed MotionBox software, nor the "artifact" are able to load anything, they just get stuck in the loading step. I don't know if that's expected at the moment, but I even erased the /.local/shared/MotionBox folder (something both versions of the software use) and none of them still worked. But the Monitor doesn't get switched off anymore. THANKS!

Note: Gonna try uninstalling the software and reinstalling to see if it works again.

That shouldn't happen, especially if you remove the /.local/shared/MotionBox folder. Pay attention that doing so might remove your playlists too, so you might want to backup them first. In the future I'll add some way to export them.
