Not working in hyprland

[Kommynct]

For some reason

exec-once = wayland-pipewire-idle-inhibit

causes idle to be permanently inhibited instead of only when audio is playing. Don't know why, but I do have a workaround

exec-once = hyprctl dispatch exec wayland-pipewire-idle-inhibit

seems to work perfectly

I'm on nixos, don't really care to troubleshoot since this workaround is perfectly fine, mostly posting for if anybody else has the same problem and is searching for a workaround.

I get infinite inhibit on my nixos install too, even with a workaround mentioned above.
It reproduces once I launch paused spotify-player, gets inhibited without any playback.

UPDATE:
Looks like this issue is exclusive to spotify-player, as with anything else it works as expected.

As you can see, spotify_player stream remain active even when the music is actually paused.

Fixed by building the app with pulseaudio-backend.
