Ok, great! Needs some adjustments for yad GTK3 for the buttons, so you get e.g. Apply instead of gtk-apply : --button="Apply!gtk-apply:0" --button="Preview:1" --button="Close!gtk-close:2"
without attention. Thank you @fredx181

The only drawback is that it works even if the browser is open or the player is playing, the function is available only if the mouse is moving. need code fix
so that the splash screen does not turn on not only when the mouse moves, but also when playing the player or browser

I use this, found that (same as you) while playing video through browser, indeed the screensaver gets activated, but while playing video with a player like vlc, mpv or mplayer it's OK, screensaver not activated.
Same for you ?
I've been looking a little now for some way to detect "movement" on the Desktop (not specially mouse movement but also video movement), but couldn't find yet.

yes indeed, when playing the player, Smplayer is not blocked

does not come out to prevent xautolock from locking by monitoring for audio.
Code: Select all
if [ $(grep -r "RUNNING" /proc/asound | wc -l) -eq 0 ]; then
xlock -nolock
fi
the mouse in the upper right corner works. blocking does not occur.
Code: Select all
xautolock -time 1 -locker "/usr/share/screener/sxlock" -corners 0-00 &

added to the code ( -corners 0-00 )line 7, now if the mouse pointer is in the upper right corner, the screen is not blocked, and you can watch the video in the browser.

@Sofiya Perhaps this is useful, it shows status "Playing" or "Paused", tested with Play/Pause Youtube video on Firefox (probably with other browsers works too) :
Code: Select all
bus=$(dbus-send --session \
--dest=org.freedesktop.DBus \
--type=method_call \
--print-reply=literal \
/org/freedesktop/DBus \
org.freedesktop.DBus.ListNames |
tr ' ' '\n' |
grep 'org.mpris.MediaPlayer2' |
head -n 1)
status=`dbus-send --print-reply --dest=$bus /org/mpris/MediaPlayer2 org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties.Get string:'org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.Player' string:'PlaybackStatus'|egrep -A 1 "string"|cut -b 26-|cut -d '"' -f 1|egrep -v ^$`
echo $status

will have to look later. Checked with Yandex-browser works.
xlock_xidlehook
I've been a bit shamanistic and compiled "xidlehook" - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Yrclwx ... sp=sharing
xidlehook is a generic replacement for xautolock.
in the package the files are arranged where they should be.
I think the code is quite clear in order to increase the blocking time, etc.
Enabled - do not lock the screen when playing sound, when in full screen mode, when inactive, screen fades after 1 min, screen locks after 10 sec, then suspend ('systemctl suspend ) - after an hour. These are test settings. Verified with YRadio ,Yandex-browser ,Smplayer.
screensavers play randomly.
If you want not a random splash screen to play when you lock the screen, but the one you like, change the configuration file a little .
line 18 : 'xrandr --output "$PRIMARY_DISPLAY" --brightness 1; xlock -nolock' \
on this
'xrandr --output "$PRIMARY_DISPLAY" --brightness 1; xlock -nolock -mode clock'
### where " clock " is the name of your splash screen
my screensaver set
Code: Select all
atlantis
atunnels
clock
dclock
life1d
mandelbrot
matrix
spiral
sierpinski3d
qix
bat
blank
should also be xlockmore, xautolock
installed
I have "xlock -nolock" written in my code so that I can unlock the screen without a password. If you remove "-nolock" then you will need a password to unlock the screen, which must be entered and remembered in advance. for this I have created a file "Change user password"
the default password is: root
place in /usr/share/applications/Change user password
Code: Select all
[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=Change user password
Icon=lock
Comment=Change user password
Exec=xterm -e passwd root
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Categories=DesktopSettings
GenericName=Change user password
you can change the time of the timers to your taste "time in seconds" tobish based on 1 minute = 60 seconds " --timer 60 \ "
in /root/Startup/ - I have it called:
xlock_xidlehook
Code: Select all
#!/usr/bin/env bash
# Only exported variables can be used within the timer's command.
sleep 5
export PRIMARY_DISPLAY="$(xrandr | awk '/ primary/{print $1}')"
# Run xidlehook
xidlehook \
`# Don't lock when there's a fullscreen application` \
--not-when-fullscreen \
`# Don't lock when there's audio playing` \
--not-when-audio \
`# Dim the screen after 60 seconds(1 minute), undim if user becomes active` \
--timer 60 \
'xrandr --output "$PRIMARY_DISPLAY" --brightness .1' \
'xrandr --output "$PRIMARY_DISPLAY" --brightness 1' \
`# Undim & lock after 10 more seconds` \
--timer 10 \
'xrandr --output "$PRIMARY_DISPLAY" --brightness 1; xlock -nolock' \
'' \
`# Finally, suspend an hour after it locks` \
--timer 3600 \
'systemctl suspend' \
''

Until now I didn't really tested it by implementing in screener, but now I did test and seems to work well, changed '/usr/share/screener/sxlock' to:
Code: Select all
#! /bin/bash
. ~/.config/screener.conf
if [ "$PASSWORD" = FALSE ]; then
LOCK="-nolock"
fi
if [ "$MOUSEMOTION" = TRUE ]; then
MM="-mousemotion"
fi
bus=$(dbus-send --session \
--dest=org.freedesktop.DBus \
--type=method_call \
--print-reply=literal \
/org/freedesktop/DBus \
org.freedesktop.DBus.ListNames |
tr ' ' '\n' |
grep 'org.mpris.MediaPlayer2' |
head -n 1)
# check status of browser playing or not
status=`dbus-send --print-reply --dest=$bus /org/mpris/MediaPlayer2 org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties.Get string:'org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.Player' string:'PlaybackStatus' 2> /dev/null|egrep -A 1 "string"|cut -b 26-|cut -d '"' -f 1|egrep -v ^$`
# only activate xlock if status is NOT 'Playing'
[ "$status" != "Playing" ] && xlock $MM -mode $SCREENSAVER $LOCK
And for me it doesn't activate the screensaver while playing a video in a browser (when pausing it, will activate screensaver again after time set).
edit: probably won't work when logged in as root and the browser is running "as-spot"
