Created attachment 89516 [details] I can confirm this bug in 5.1.1 Also, the related page in system settings doesn't work no more (see the screenshot).
I cannot recall YouTube actually inhibiting power management but I cannot reproduce this issue with VLC. When I watch a VLC video, the screen stays on and does not dim. Can you reproduce with a more recent PowerDevil version? @Valerio: That is a separate bug, perhaps PowerDevil is not running and thus does not override a potential systemd automatism.
