Best,
Michael 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.

then go to the tab
labelled "power management": unclick the box that says "enable DPMS
power save modes"; or you can configure power saving to something that
suits you better.
(For a desktop I find that power saving is useless or even
counterproductive, so I just switch off the monitor instead when not
in use. On a laptop, or in a setting where one wants the screen to
lock when unattended, this is a different matter, but I imagine it's
just Gene hanging out at home.)
Keyrect. With the missus in the shop, end stage COPD, I don't have a cat
to walk on keys. Just me.
Also, VLC allows turning off power saving while actively watching a
video; I don't know, but I imagine other media players do something
similar.
