Slideshow remote function times out
jrvgr opened this issue · comments
Current Behavior
When you first use the slideshow remote function it requests permission to use and interact with the screen. After a few seconds of inactivity it loses this permission and you need to accept it again with a dialog on the presenting machine
Expected Behavior
Accept the dialog and don't time out until you click on a button in the app to disengage the function

Thanks for reporting.
This is sort of a known problem, which is really upstream in the remote desktop portal specification. The GNOME implementation in Mutter actually has a Closed signal, so clients know when a session has been ended by the user, but the portal has no such signal.
#467 removes the timeout, but since there is no Closed signal, when the user closes the session the XDP plugin will keep using the same dead session. I don't think there's a good solution to this, as of yet.
Closing due to lack of activity. Feel free to re-open if you have time to test, or can come up with a more suitable solution.
