Streaming Audio Prevents Screenlock
-
Hi all,
I'm not sure if this is a bug or a feature.
I'm using Vivaldi on Linux Mint (system info below).
When streaming audio from the Tidal web player through Vivaldi, my screen never blanks despite me being inactive. When I stream Tidal through Firefox, the screen does blank. To me this is the expected behaviour --- turn the laptop screen off when not using it.
I did a search but couldn't find any information on this, and I couldn't see any related vivaldi settings. The one thing I did find was this feature request which looks like it might be related:
Reading the feature request makes me think this Vivaldi behaviour is intended --- it looks like the screensaver is disabled in Windows too when vivaldi is streaming.
Any ideas on a solution?

Vivaldi's Business ModelI have audio streaming services added as Web Panels and occasionally observe the same, the audio stream plays, I minimize Vivaldi, but the video display remains on and doesn't go into power-saving mode. It occurs intermittently here. Using Fedora and (current project name) openSUSE. Bug/feature? Not sure.
Feel free to submit a bug report (link above) and include as much information as possible. If you do, please post the bug report number in this thread. Thank you for helping make Vivaldi better.
