Public bug reported:

Reproducibility:

100% reproducible

steps to reproduce:

1. $ mpv -fv anyvideo_long_enough.anyformat
2. now please refrain from any mouse/keyboard activity, wait for the 
screensaver to activate
3. screensaver activates

problem:

the screensaver activates

desired behaviour:

the screensaver shouldn't activate

long description:

Hello,

the screen keeps locking while I watch video with mpv. Basically the
screensaver gets activated.

but according to man mpv:

       --heartbeat-cmd=<command>

          WARNING:
              This  option  is redundant with Lua scripting. Further, it 
shouldn't be needed for disabling screensaver anyway, since mpv will call 
xdg-screensaver
              when using X11 backend. As a consequence this option has been 
deprecated with no direct replacement.

...

That all said as the screen getting locked contradicts the manpage, I
consider this a bug. Thank you for the fix in advance.
