I think this depends on the particular application you use to view the videos.
SMPlayer with mpv as the backend.
I'm not familiar with it, but "man mpv" and search for "screensaver" finds things. You could try with the possibilities (--heartbeat-cmd=... or --stop-screensaver).
My impression is that settings should be generalised whether on Wayland or X (where there are no problems). Does this mean per application settings is required when using media players under WAyland?
Well, each application that displays video must do something to impede screen blanking or screensaver, and the method varies per application and per desktop. For example, one application toggled an indicator LED on the keyboard to emulate keyboard activity, and thus impede the computer from sleeping. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
