From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Some quick research on my end seems to suggest there's a setting for that scenario in advanced power settings called "Pause media players when suspending", I'd try that before anything else
Edit: As for why it happens, assuming it woke up from suspension/hibernation, for the most part programs are going to pick up exactly where they left off unless the system goes out of its way to tell them to perform some action (in this case, pausing). Since your lock screen is pretty much "on top" of the entire running system, so to speak, it results in the behavior you're experiencing.
Thanks for the info! The check box for this settings was infact already checked. So maybe if I change what happens when I close the lid, from sleeping to hibernation or something else this could fix this maybe?
No worries!
Ah, I see. Guess you may as well give that a go. I'm guessing what might be going on here is KDE doesn't count it as a media player for whatever reason. Are you using Jellyfin in a browser or with the dedicated Jellyfin Media Player app?
Using the dedicated app yes π
Right. I'm a fellow Jellyfin + NixOS user so I'll try and investigate if I manage to find some time over the next few days. I'll report back if I find anything of note!
Awesome! π»
I just came across this GitHub issue and sure enough, it seems to confirm my theory. Since it doesn't show on KDE's media center, it probably doesn't know to pause it before going to sleep.
I saw at least one person with your exact issue, and a few suggested workarounds but not sure how easy it'd be to apply them to an actual Nix derivation. I'll keep looking into it. π€
Neat find! I'll read up too.
I also believe I did pause the video before closing the lid, I could try recreate the issue later and report over at the GH issue.
