The jellyfin app (self hosted video streaming) app on steam deck (installed via desktop mode->discovery as a flat pack) doesn’t seem to register as ‘playing’ with the os. The screen will dim after a few mins.

I’m ‘playing’ the jellyfin app as a non steam game in game mode.

I know I can disable screen dimming in the settings but is there a way to have it auto detect when a video is playing and prevent the screen from dimming?

    Im guessing you disabled it? On mine the screen dims and it will go to sleep based on the settings/timings.

      Just checked, it is enabled, 15 m when plugged in and 5 min when unpplugged, I’ll need to try it again later, for now it is plugged in and plugged to a TV to watch movies

        At least that’s promising. Please let me know if you did anything different.

        I just installed in desktop mode via discovery (the flat pack version I think). Then i added the ‘game’ to the steam menu and that was it. I launch the ‘game’ in steam mode.

        If there is something else you’re doing I’d love to know because I can’t find anything else on Google. Thanks.
