Display going to sleep while playing video on V 1.9.9
On a Samsung Galaxy Z Fold4, running OneUI 6.0 (Android 14), after the latest 1.9.9 update, the display dims, and eventually times out while playing video. Seems to have started with the 1.9.9 update, but may have been with the 1.9.8 update.
Try to disable energy saving for the app.
Oh, Fermata doesn't stop running, but the screen goes to sleep and eventually lock, as it would if you leave your phone untouched at the home screen. Fermata will still keep playing video in the background, but your display will turn off as if you left it idle.
Like Firmata isn't acquiring wakelock, like other media players do.
Thanks! I've updated the release, please check - https://github.com/AndreyPavlenko/Fermata/releases/tag/1.9.9
That fixed it! Thanks!
Hey Andrey!
It seems like in other circumstances Fermata still fails to get wake lock.
Like if it gets opened as a windowed app, or if on a folding device, it transitions from the cover screen to the main screen, or if it goes into split screen mode.
The problem will go away, if you fully close the app, and reopen it, but that's not always convenient.
It's not a great solution but a workaround in the meantime would be to use a keep awake app such as "Caffeine" to set the wake lock incase Fermata doesn't get it, or loses it.
