Podcasts on the Pinephone

[kqlnut]

So how do you actually use any audio playing app when it cuts off the audio after 5 minutes when the screen is off? On the "default" Manjaro Plasma Mobile image it's basically useless for listening to music or podcasts.

The best way to go would be for the apps to implement suspend inhibition by themselves. It has been implemented in Gnome Podcasts recently and released in a beta version a couple of days ago, so hopefully it will soon be available in the common repositories.

For now I inhibit suspend manually (on Phosh though, maybe something similar is possible on Plasma) with

Code:

gnome-session-inhibit --inhibit suspend --inhibit-only

(it's a little faster than turning off suspend in the settings and I don't run as much risk of forgetting to turn it back on later)
