I think you want the "screen" topic, and the "locked-foreground" state to denote when to disable the screen saver.
HTMLMediaElement should already manage only disabling the screen saver when media is playing and in a foreground tab, and bug 1022669 is being worked on right now to ensure that we don't take a screen wake lock for audio-only media. Edwin's point is that we shouldn't be taking non-screen wakelocks on desktop, they're meant for battery constrained mobile devices; for example the "cpu" wakelock code in HTMLMediaElement.cpp should really be behind b2g and android include guards. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/434476 Title: screensaver starts while playing HTML5 videos Status in The Mozilla Firefox Browser: Confirmed Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “firefox-3.5” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Binary package hint: firefox-3.5 karmic alpha6 + updates - click on a .ogv video link - after watching some time, screensaver starts.
