swayidle enters idle state during YouTube/Plex playback in browser #165

Closed wadeduvall closed 5 months ago

Previously, swayidle would block during playback in the browser. Recently, this seems to no longer work (maybe 1-2 weeks ago this started). I'm running ArchLinux (btw) and my browser is Firefox.

System details:

$ sway --version
swayfx version 0.4-cf59f67 (May  2 2024, branch 'master') (based on sway 1.9.0)
$ paru -Qs swayidle
local/swayidle 1.8.0-1
$ firefox --version
Mozilla Firefox 125.0.3
$ paru -Qs systemd
local/systemd 255.5-4
    system and service manager

I can test on native sway if you think that will resolve the issue.

Here is the debug output during YouTube playback:

$ swayidle -w -d \
          timeout 300 'swaylock --grace 3' \
          lock swaylock \
          before-sleep 'swaylock'

I'm also open to this being an issue outside of swayidle, I'm not exactly sure what triggers the idle state.

kennylevinsen commented 6 months ago

The idle state is triggered by sway once the specific activity timeout is hit, whenever no idle inhibitor is active.

The issue is either:

  1. The application does not register an idle inhibitor correctly
  2. Sway is not handling the inhibitor correctly
wadeduvall commented 5 months ago

Switching to sway did not resolve the issue. Issue also exists with hypridle. So in theory you could probably close this issue. BUT if you still want to help:

@kennylevinsen I did check, and mpv does inhibit properly, so I'm guessing it's not sway's fault. Do you know how to check if idle inhibit is set?

Okay, this is 100% not y'all's issue:

method call time=1715027322.089262 sender=:1.110 -> destination=:1.11 serial=47 path=/ScreenSaver; interface=org.freedesktop.ScreenSaver; member=Inhibit
   string "firefox"
   string "video-playing"
error time=1715027322.089362 sender=:1.11 -> destination=:1.110 error_name=org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.UnknownObject reply_serial=47
   string "Unknown object '/ScreenSaver'."

Closing.
