1013255 - Video being played should prevent the display from going to sleep

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 772347

(Firefox :: Untriaged, defect)

Description

[gordan]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_9_2) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/34.0.1847.137 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce:

Possibly related to Bug 517870: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=517870
OS used is OS X 10.9.2

1. Set time it takes for display to turn off to N
2. Visit page which contains a video that is longer than N
3. Play the video using the native HTML5 video player.


Actual results:

When the video goes over N, the display turns off.


Expected results:

I would expect the display not go to sleep while the video is still playing. This is the behaviour which is found on Chrome and Safari, and I'd imagine your display turning off while you are watching a video isn't expected.

Duping this to the OS X implementation bug that will fix this. This will be fixed on Fx 30 on Windows. We're still working on an OS X fix.
