screensaver turns on while watching youtube video

[Gregor]

Screensaver on laptop turns on while watching youtube videos and laptop is on battery power. It doesn't matter if video is fullscreen or not. Screen saver turns itself on. This shouldn't happen. If video is playing it means someone is using the screen. It doesn't happen in windows. i also didn't see this happening on desktop Kubuntu install. i have not yet tested media players such as VLC to see if it also happens there.

Hardware: HP dm1 with E-450 APU (using proprietary AMD drivers), 2 GB RAM, Kubuntu 64bit 13.04 (all updates applied, vanilla install)

I'm having a simmilar problem with yomvi player (silverlight activated with pipelight). I'm using devel repos. I'm having this problem since ubuntu 14.04 and in the end I have to disable screensaver and energy saving.

This is probably not a gnome-screensaver bug: gnome-screensaver knows not to show the screensaver only if any app tells it not to. For example, VLC was fixed in bug 1080847. So this bug report is incomplete without steps to reproduce, because without those, we can’t tell which app is failing to send the appropriate signal.
