Black screen during video playback (kind of screen saver)

#1 Post by postcd »

Hello,

when I playback using Dragon player 20.12.0 or VLC 3.0.16 in Debian 11 stable Linux 5.10.0-11-amd64 with KDE 5.20.5

then like 2 minutes and 5 seconds of inactivity during playback, the screen gets black (& monitor shows: no signal), session is NOT locked though immediately (at least not for like 10 seconds).

This is bad to happen every 2 min. during movie playback, no matter if maximized or full screen window.

Screen locking section of the "Workspace behavior" settings

"Energy saving" page has 5 minutes dim setting and black screen happen in shorter time of inactivity.

I have not modified any screen saving or locking settings yet. I think that this inconvenience should not happen by default.

Doesn't Dragonplayer have an option to disable the screensaver during playback? If not, then ditch this Mickey Mouse video player for a real one like mpv or vlc.
