Display sleeping during video playback
« on: March 28, 2014, 02:59:15 am »

Under Tools → Options  →  Audio  →  Settings there is an option to prevent the display from turning off during playback.
This only seems to apply to music playback, and not video playback.
 
Fullscreen playback is fine, but in windowed mode during video playback, the display is still allowed to sleep whether this option is enabled or not.
Would it be possible to change this option so it applies to both audio and video playback?

Video Playback should probably unconditionally disable the screensaver/screen turn off, doesn't make sense to turn the screen off while playing a video.

For me, the best solution would be to never allow the display to sleep when video is playing, and optionally allow the screen to turn off when paused. (re-using that existing preference to control it would be fine)
