I had a problem with having separate screen functions in engineHasVideoChanged() \
where Dragon was unstable and generally crashed a ton.
Fortunately with both backends I've tested (VLC and GStreamer) in the terminal I get \
a nice KNotificationRestrictions debug message that appears when the video stream \
starts, and also reappears when the stream is paused and resumed. I think the \
original problem was that I was not requesting that hasVideo apply to \
KNotificationRestrictions.

<pre style="white-space: pre-wrap; white-space: -moz-pre-wrap; white-space: \
-pre-wrap; white-space: -o-pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;">While super lovely, this \
unfortunately suffers from the problem I outlined in a comment for review5. \
Essentially video availability is async and independent of state change. Namely \
hasVideo doesn't need to be true when entering PlayingState (in fact it mostly \
isn't with Phonon VLC). So doing the static hasVideo is not sufficient. Instead \
engineHasVideoChanged() needs to be utilized in some form or fashion (wired up to \
Phonon, slot is called whenever hasVideo changed).
My original comment from back then was:
What I just remembered though... Phonon dispatches this information as a signal (i.e. \
state changes to playing; 3 seconds later; signal for hasVideoChanged arrives \
indicating this is audio-only content), so checking hasVideo() at the time of state \
change can lead to wrong behavior (e.g. hasVideo=false; 3 seconds later; \
hasVideo=true).
So yes, likely engineHasVideoChanged() is where you want to have additional logic.
Perhaps something like this:
new function MainWindow::inhibitSleep() [example name :S; contains sleep logic from \
inhibitPowersave()] new function MainWindow::releaseSleep() [contains release for \
sleep logic from releasePowersave()[] new function MainWindow::inhibitScreenSleep() \
[contains screen power management from inhibitPowersave()] new function \
MainWindow::releaseScreenSleep() [contains release for screen power management from \
releasePowersave()] remove function MainWindow::inhibitPowersave() [release can be \
kept around as convenience function) MainWindow::engineStateChanged(...) calls \
MainWindow::inhibitSleep() [assumption: we always want to prevent sleeping] \
MainWindow::engineHasVideoChanged(...) it calls MainWindow::inhibitScreenSleep() if \
hasVideo=true, or calls MainWindow::releaseScreenSleep() if hasVideo=no [overall \
condition: state must be playing] [on state change to !playing we continue to call \
releasePowersave(), which in turn calls both releseSleep() and releaseScreenSleep()]
ultimate result is then that we always prevent sleeping </pre>
