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.
Carlos,
if you don't have a clue what you are talking about, please refrain from endless posts on this list.
There *is* a generalized method for screensaver inhibition, org.freedesktop.ScreenSaver
https://standards.freedesktop.org/idle-inhibit-spec/latest/re01.html
Well,
I'm happy to hear about it, but not all video players know about it.
You could have said that information earlier.
And you can set up the --heartbeat-cmd= of mpv in the mpv package to a command that uses this interface so the users do not need to configure it. That's what the "distribution integration" thing is about. Unfortunately, some media players like web browsers do not have this configuration option so cannot be configured to prevent screen blanking.
