This mpv plugin prevents screen blanking in GNOME while playing media.

This is needed because neither mpv supports GNOME's inhibition protocol, nor

GNOME supports the standard inhibition protocol

([yet](https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/111)).

## Installing

You can find the latest release [here](https://github.com/Guldoman/mpv_inhibit_gnome/releases).

Download `mpv_inhibit_gnome.so` and put it in your `mpv` scripts directory

(by default it's `~/.config/mpv/scripts`).

## Manually building and installing

To build, the `libdbus-1` library is needed

(Arch: `dbus`, Fedora: `dbus-devel`, Ubuntu: `libdbus-1-dev`),

as well as the header files for `mpv`

(Arch: `mpv`, Fedora: `mpv-libs-devel`, Ubuntu: `libmpv-dev`).

To build run:

```bash

make

```

This will generate the plugin in `lib/mpv_inhibit_gnome.so`.

To install in the default per-user location `~/.config/mpv/scripts`

either copy it there or run:

```bash

make install

```

To install in the default system-wide location `/usr/share/mpv/scripts` run:

```bash

sudo make sys-install

```

## Flatpak support

This plugin has been integrated into the

[Flatpak release of mpv](https://flathub.org/apps/details/io.mpv.Mpv),

so you should already be good to go.

If this plugin was manually installed before the integration,

uninstall it to avoid conflicts by deleting

`~/.var/app/io.mpv.Mpv/config/mpv/scripts/mpv_inhibit_gnome.so`.
