Description of issue

This only started happening when I switched my saver to Brooklyn. I switched back to Aeriel for the time being and it went away, so Brooklyn seems to be the cause. Even if I set "Turn display off after" in the Energy Saver panel to 1 minute, my screen never turns off when using this saver. If I use any other saver, it behaves as expected.

Never noticed to be honest, but I'll look into it

My gut feeling is that it may be related to this: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/avfoundation/avplayer/2990522-preventsdisplaysleepduringvideop Declaration var preventsDisplaySleepDuringVideoPlayback: Bool <https://developer.apple.com/documentation/swift/bool> { get set } Discussion The default value for this property on iOS is true. The defalut value for this property on macOS is false. Setting this property to false does not force the display to sleep, it just doesn't stop the display from going to sleep. Other apps or frameworks within your app can still prevent the display from going to sleep for other reasons. The docs say it defaults to false, on macOS, but maybe it is a bug in Catalina that the default isn’t what is documented.

I won't just into conclusions without playing with it but maybe you're right 👍
