Prevent display turning off when playing media

It’s possible to inhibit the display turn off in kde using ``kde-inhibit --power --screenSaver ``` However, I want to inhibit the display turning off only when playing media (either by spotify or a browser), and let it sleep as usual when not playing media.

How could I achieve this? Is there a lower level solution that doesn’t envolve the DE’s setting?

I use qtile on X11 and hyprland on Wayland. There is an option on hyprland for exactly that (idleinhibit window rule), but didn’t find a good solution on qtile yet. Anyway I have issues with qtile for other things too (because of X11 mainly).

Try putting the browser on fullscreen, see if that keeps the screen alive while playing.

That thing usually goes by the name “wake lock”. I can’t imagine why it’s not doing the right thing by default.
