SUMMARY

When playing a video (or multiple videos in multicam view) and not doing anything for a while, the screensaver starts.

Ideally kdenlive should disable the screensaver while a video gets played.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. start a video in the monitor
2. wait (and don't touch keyboard or mouse)

OBSERVED RESULT

After some time, the screensaver starts

EXPECTED RESULT

No screensaver during video playback (hardcoded or as config option)
