Other Information

- macOS version: 15.3.2 (24D81)
- Source of mpv: ?
- Latest known working version: don't think I suffered this issue last month and since the last mpv release was months ago (i.e. 2024-09-23) I sense a macOS update is responsible for this issue..?
- Issue started after the following happened: perhaps latest macOS update (i.e. 15.3.2 (24D81)-ish)

Reproduction Steps

Hi all,

Hope you're OK!

Thanks for software - appreciate you!

As title

As a (macOS) user, when MPV is running, I still want macOS screen saver &/ lock screen to function because otherwise it's a security issue for me

This issue seems to have emerged around the same time as seeing the new "game mode" issue so maybe related..?

Steps to reproduce issue

1. Open MPV
2. Play an audio file
3. Observe macOS screen saver &/ lock screen no longer functions/triggers

If you're reading and:

• agree then please vote up (e.g. +1, like), or;
• disagree then please vote down (e.g. -1, dislike) - I'd love to know why?

Welcome feedback/input

Hope this helps & to hear back

Cheers

Expected Behavior

macOS screen saver &/ lock screen still functions/triggers

Actual Behavior

macOS screen saver &/ lock screen no longer functions/triggers

Log File

output.txt

Sample Files

No response

I carefully read all instruction and confirm that I did the following:

• I tested with the latest mpv version to validate that the issue is not already fixed.
• I provided all required information including system and mpv version.
• I produced the log file with the exact same set of files, parameters, and conditions used in "Reproduction Steps", with the addition of --log-file=output.txt.
• I produced the log file while the behaviors described in "Actual Behavior" were actively observed.
• I attached the full, untruncated log file.
• I attached the backtrace in the case of a crash.

Start by reviewing the attached output.txt and reproducing the issue on macOS 15.3.2 with mpv 0.39.0 while audio is playing. Done means the macOS screen saver and lock screen trigger normally while mpv remains open and playing audio.
