"Put display to sleep when idle" option causes the Kodi GUI to freeze/hang

I found some time to test this. Power cycling the TV and/or unplugging the HDMI cable does not reproduce this issue.

I can confirm the "Put display to sleep when idle" option is the culprit, and is 100% reproducible.

Does this happen if you unplug and replug HDMI cable? I think this is triggered by a HDMI hotplug event.

Just tested it several times. Unplugging and replugging does not fix it, it's still frozen.

Here's another debug log, but with extra logging for the "windowing" component, as requested in #23921.

It seems to occur while my TV is powered off

Is there an easy way to reproduce the issue? Does unplugging and replugging HDMI make it freeze? Does power cycling the TV make it freeze?

Reverting #23921 like in LibreELEC/LibreELEC.tv#8488 fixes the issue for me too.

Stumbled upon this thread while researching the same issue.

Happens every time with my Kodi. Screensaver is set to dim after 3 minutes and turn the screen off after 30. Every time I wake it up the screen stays dimmed and doesn't seem to react, though the navigation sounds can still be heard when using the arrow buttons.

Environment:
Kodi 21.0-Omega on x86_64 installed from official flatpak repo, no modifications to the package. Updated yesterday (Friday 24th of May) and checked again today to confirm the issue still happens.
No desktop manager of any sort, running raw on whatever the package pulled as a dependency (which is Freedesktop 23.08.17).
The service is started by simply running "flatpak run tv.kodi.Kodi" and it seems to handle the graphics by itself.
Ubuntu 22.04 with all updates applied.

I can provide logs if you tell me what I need to do.

I'm experiencing this behavior in Kodi 21.0-RC1 with matching error messages from LibreELEC/LibreELEC.tv#8488

Environment:
Ubuntu 22.04.3 kernel 6.5.0-14-generic (x86_64)
Intel Xe Graphics (TGL GT2)
WIndowing sysem: gbm

My repro steps:

1. Start video playback (something h264, for example)
2. Pause playback, wait for the display to sleep
3. Resume playback after display goes to sleep.

Result:
Display wakes, and playback audio can be heard, but the picture is permanently frozen and dim. The remote can stop playback and UI button sounds can be heard.

However, if I stop playback while the display is asleep, the screen will wake and the UI will be functional. Playing videos works at this point.
