[Linux] System sleeps even in playback.

davideluque — Sat, 26 Aug 2017 03:25:59 GMT

Device: Laptop Siragon NB300 running Debian Stretch 9.1 x64

Account type: Premium

App info: Spotify version 1.0.49.125.g72ee7853

Issue: When I'm not using my laptop but playing music, system inhibit sleep mode.

Steps:

1. My PC sleep time is 15 min.

2. I'm not using the PC but playing music with Spotify Client.

I did some search and found that music players need to include some code to prevent their app inhibit sleeping (or suspend) mode.

This is a solved issue of a gnome music player called lollypop.

Kind regards,

David.

I am facing this same issue and I believe this hasn't been addressed yet. Were you able to resolve this any other way?

Unbelievable, this still has not been fixed. Any luck with a workaround?

I guess we need to continue to bump this up until they want to fix it
