If you are using the standard Xorg session then this shouldn't happen at all.
If you are using a Wayland session then it's a known issue. Though I can't seem to find the previous bug report right now. Does the problem really happen in Xorg sessions or were you using Wayland at the time? ** Changed in: mpv (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Incomplete ** Bug watch added: github.com/mpv-player/mpv/issues #4752 https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/issues/4752 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1895941 Title: Screen lock after some minutes while playing vidoes from mpv player.
