Maybe what works for me would work for you to enable watching a video. I set all three power save options in desktop settings to 120 minutes.
I have tried that, up to 4000 4025 4050 minutes. Nominally 5 minutes later it powers down, and an xset -q shows: DPMS (Energy Star): Standby: 450 Suspend: 600 Off: 900 DPMS is Enabled Monitor is On And theres not a thing I can do about it.

Option "DPMS" "off"People using DE's (e.g. TDE) normally don't use cmdline utilities for controlling X behavior, unless within startup scripts. The only one I ever use in a startup script is xrandr. Xset has never been my friend.
I'm beginning to think of as s klepto shoplifter that deserves shooting myself.
