<pre>Downstream bug : <a href="https://trac.videolan.org/vlc/ticket/8270">https://trac.videolan.org/vlc/ticket/8270</a>
Hi,
I'm using vlc 2.0.5 to view TV streams from my ISP using a playlist. I guess
this behavior will also be observable with vlc if you create a playlist with
some random movies.
Sometimes while viewing a channel, DPMS turns the screen off. It does not
happen all the time, but often enough to be very annoying.
After doing a few observations, I think that DPMS is quickly enabled/disabled
each time you switch a title into the playlist, and sometimes, it fails to be
disabled, leaving the screen with DPMS on while watching the video stream.
I don't know if it's related, but I noticed that if you use vlc long enough and
switch titles into playlist, vlc spawns many xdg-screensaver process :
