I am using mpv player on Ubuntu 22.04 with Wayland. Every minute of playing, the system goes to sleep. There are no traces in log files. With 18/20.04 mpv works well.

I found this in the ArchWiki for mpv:

mpv may not suspend GNOME's Power Saving Settings if using Wayland resulting in screen saver turning off the monitor during video playback. A workaround is to add gnome-session-inhibit to the beginning of the Exec= line in mpv.desktop.

I tried that, but it didn't help. How to fix it?

    Can you try installing and enabling the Espresso extension and see if it solves your issue? – BeastOfCaerbannog Sep 26 '22 at 10:04
  • Can you share the actual line of your mpv.desktop file? Adding gnome-session-inhibit did work for me. See https://askubuntu.com/questions/1499742/how-do-i-prevent-ubuntu-from-sleeping-while-mpv-is-running/1500407#1500407 – Amanda Jan 17 '24 at 19:20
