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?

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

    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.
