When my laptop goes to sleep it stops playing music

[scerelli]

Hello! is around 1 year I'm using bluefin and completely in love with it, but there is a thing I'm struggling to solve. While I solved most of the issues I had, there is one I can't figure out how to fix.

I use QBZ to play music from a streaming service called Qobuz and when my laptop locks and turns off the screen for the power saving it stops playing music, for example if I have youtube playing it doesn't happen. Anyone knows how to solve this?

QBZ isn't requesting a playback inhibitor from the system when music is playing. GNOME suspends processes that don't signal active media use, which is why YouTube (browser) keeps going but QBZ doesn't.

Two options:

1. Prevent sleep/screen-off while using QBZ via a caffeine-style inhibitor. Install the Caffeine GNOME extension and toggle it when listening.

2. Report it upstream to QBZ - the app should be calling the org.freedesktop.PowerManagement.Inhibit D-Bus method while playback is active, just like any media player should. That's the real fix.
