In my opinion this should be fixed independently of the webapps Is this html5 videos? Flash videos or both? For flash you can always use caffeine (which should be in the default distribution imo) and for html5 I already filed a bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox-3.5/+bug/434476
I think flash videos will be gone soon (at least for youtube) so we should focus on html5. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu WebApps bug tracking, which is subscribed to unity-webapps-youtube in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1068576 Title: Inhibit screensaver when playing videos Status in WebApps: libunity: New Status in “unity-webapps-youtube” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: When playing videos on YouTube and being idle, the screensaver may start. This is something unexpected and is also something that doesn't happen with Totem or other video players. The unity-webapps-youtube extension should do something to inhibit the screensaver. This is something that can't (and probably shouldn't) be done generically by the web browser, because videos are often used in advertizing. Original description: I don't know how it is in Firefox, but in Chromium, when you play flash movies, your computer will still go to sleep and/or dim the screen after a certain time. It's hard to avoid this for all flash video, but for YouTube this really can be avoided by this webapp extension.
